Hotel staff is very sincere and helpful and speaks very good English. We corresponded earlier via messaging, she was very concerned when we arrived late, asked if we had dinner first thing we got off our car, as the recommended restaurant for dinner to suit our children was closing at 9pm. She was able to recommend us places to visit with children around the hotel.
It was raining the 2 days while we were in Mimani Aso. It was very cool and cosy and all the staff there were so nice that fully complemented the entire experience. Amenities provided for men as well.
Breakfast was customed to our preferred taste, served to our double-storey villa.
View from room was fantastic.
In-room onsen was excellent and everything still look new and well-maintained though this villa is alrdy 11 year old!
We highly recommed and will love to return again.

從入場停車就感受到不同,服務員在停車場等你停好車子。親切的幫你把行李取出。帶領你到接待處,門口拍照,拿杯冰冰的涼茶給我們喝一邊完成報到手續(詢問晚餐、早餐時間)
管家帶我們到我們入住的「雲水」仔細介紹設備,包含溫泉使用方式。知道我們打算去大眾湯,也貼心載我們前往。晚餐實在是太豐盛(房內準備)包含早餐也是!
