Kamenoi Hotel Oarai

8/10 Good
"The hotel was maintained well. The meals were also satisfying. The public bath was rather compact but sufficient. The few cons were that the bed matrees was pretty firm and the attractions around the hotel weren't so vibrant. However, if you are there to fully relax with no running around for sightseeing, it should be fine with good meals and hot spring. Overall, we enjoyed our 3 nights there."
