Terrace Resort Mihama
Great spot! After travelling all over Japan and basically staying in shoe boxes, the Terrace resort felt like home. Everything was clean, beds were soft and cozy, and large closet to hang your clothes. Having a washer/dryer and a kitchenette was super handy too. The value here was unmatched.
