Diverse and Delicious Buffet

“My experience at The Hamanako was truly nice, especially thanks to the diverse range of international buffet food available for breakfast and dinner. The beetroot, avocado, and orange smoothies were natural and sugar-free, providing a refreshing boost to start the day. For dinner, I was delighted by the Bokumeshi rice with eel, and the fresh tuna, salmon, and squid were simply sumptuous.” view full review
