Very convenient and lots to do.

It was an amazing stay! My family enjoyed the Traditional Japanese room. They provided jinbae to wear as PJ’s for each of us. We enjoyed being right on the visitor center and all the activities they offered for free. The Japanese bath room was a nice bonus! Will come back again.
