We had a wonderful time at Musashi, where the hospitality truly stood out. The traditional tatami mat room was a unique experience for our family, and we loved the comfy futons despite initial skepticism. The only downside was our hesitation to use the onsen as we weren't comfortable with the nudity aspect. Overall, Musashi was excellent value for money, making it a great pick for families.

We had a wonderful experience at Musashi! The hospitality was extraordinary, and we felt very welcomed from the moment we arrived. The traditional tatami mat room was such a unique experience for our family, and we found the futon sleeping arrangement surprisingly comfortable. The only downside for us was not using the onsen due to our hesitations about nudity, and while the amenities were great, I wish there were more variety in the activities offered. Overall, it was a great value for our family stay.

Our stay at Musashi was a memorable experience, highlighted by warm hospitality from the staff and an enjoyable traditional tatami mat room that the kids absolutely loved. Although we were hesitant to try the onsen, the overall cleanliness and family-friendly amenities, like 24/7 free ice cream bites, made it well worth the value. However, we did find the futons a bit unconventional at first, which might not be ideal for everyone.

We had a wonderful experience at Musashi, where the hospitality truly stood out. The staff made us feel incredibly welcome right from the start, and we loved staying in a traditional tatami mat room. However, we didn't take advantage of the onsen, which we regret, and the grain-filled pillows took some getting used to. The kids particularly enjoyed the free ice-cream and drinks available at all hours, making it a great value for families.
