I had a mixed experience at The Hamanako. The dining options were extensive and varied, with delicious choices like the eel Bokumeshi for dinner and fresh smoothies for breakfast. However, the facility felt dated, with old carpets and a lack of activities during the day. The location, while quiet and scenic, is quite isolated, making it tough if you don't have your own transport.
