We had an awesome stop over on our road trip back north after a few days in Shikoku (thats a different story...).
H-san found it for us & the in-car GPS showed us the way there.
The hotel was awesome!! Up on the 8th floor was a swimming pool & water-slide complex. So thats where i headed first, with Emma & Camo, the 2 Aussie lifeguards here. One of the waterslides we did all together - down around a corner, then a steep drop & up this giant orange skate-ramp looking slide then about 15m backwards down to crash in the pool! The other slide spat you out into a big bowl, where you circle round a few times before dropping thru a sink hole in the middle & shooting down to the end :)
The next 2 floors down were repsectively mens & womens bathing with different themed pools & architecture. The mens floor was european themed - old greek/roman sort of thing. So there were statues of women and angles etc, done in fake marble & limestone. There was also one bath with a fragrant combination a herbs - jasmine, mint, thyme, rosemary etc. Apparently there was a big pile of salt to rub over yourself too, but i never found that. I think i get enough salt on me anyway ;)
We spent the night there, snoozing in a room full of reclined lazyboy chairs, with a chorus of men snoring merrily away.
It was a great injection of luxury for us after being in the sea & sun for a long time and sleeping on little futons in sometimes uncomfortably hot houses.
