On May 1, 2022, I visited Jラン's play experience, which included a bath at the mall hot spring and a lunch buffet for 2,500 yen per person. The buffet alone costs 2,000 yen. By using coupons, I was able to enjoy this experience for a discounted price of 5,300 yen for three people instead of the original 7,500 yen. The bath was relaxing, and the sauna was enjoyable as always. The buffet opened at 11:30, and although there was a long line at first, we were seated promptly. The buffet had a variety of dishes, including demi-glace hamburger, pork steak, shrimp fry, fish with white sauce, shrimp chili, pasta, fried potatoes, chashu menma, broccoli terrine, vegetable terrine, mushroom and komatsuna salad, fried chicken, soba, udon, ramen, curry, Chinese soup, miso soup, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, watercress, orange, lychee, grapefruit, almond jelly, muffins, chocolate fondue with banana, and more. The standout dishes were the pork steak, lettuce with various dressings, and the curry. The waffle with ice cream from the live kitchen was also delicious. The overall experience was enjoyable, and the quality of the food was good.

2020/5 ★ Flat Take Beef Hamburg Steak Set Meal (with Bath) for 1500 yen at the Classe Hotel in Kitahiroshima 12F. The Sky Lounge "South Elfin" restaurant, popular for its buffet, is offering two types of flat take beef lunches: Flat Take Beef Steak Bowl and Flat Take Beef Hamburg Steak Set Meal. Salad, soup, drink, and ice cream are included. And guess what! You can enjoy it with a day trip hot spring at Kaede Kaede for only 1500 yen! First, take a bath before eating. It is said that taking a bath before a meal can help suppress your appetite. It's the basics of dieting. It's been a while since I've been to a hot spring. Although it's said to be safe from the coronavirus, I can't help but feel a bit vulnerable being naked, even though I know it's safe. A beer after the bath... 700 yen... I'll pass. I'm unemployed. I'll go with the lunch set's oolong tea instead. First, salad and soup. Fresh crunchy vegetables with plenty of French dressing. A refined taste egg soup. The hamburger steak has a meaty texture with less filler. Is it made with coarsely ground lean meat? It's light and delicious. My husband had the steak bowl, cooked rare with just the right amount of chewiness... Maybe that would have been better. After the meal, a vanilla ice cream to cleanse the palate. The view from the 12th floor is nice. It was cloudy on this day, but I bet the mountains would look beautiful on a sunny day. Thank you for the meal.

Today, my partner and partner's mother and I went to a day trip hot spring. It's nice to be able to soak in the hot springs and have lunch. There are many places to choose from these days, but we haven't been to a nearby hot spring before. This place is new to me and my partner, but my partner's mother has been here three times! The hot spring and lunch buffet are a set for 2000 yen. If you just want the buffet, it's 1600 yen, so the hot spring is 400 yen, right? Not bad, huh? This hot spring is a mall hot spring, with a brownish hot spring that even makes an old man's skin smooth! After soaking in the bath, we headed to the buffet. The buffet is in a restaurant on the 12th floor of the hotel. The staff's explanations were a bit lacking. I'm not thinking of trying to get my money's worth or anything like that. The variety was decent, and my partner's mother, who doesn't eat much, could try a little bit of everything. Isn't that great? I really liked the pilaf! When was the last time I had non-frozen pilaf? The pilaf with sausages and maitake mushroom soup was really good! I kept going back for more pilaf. There was also yakisoba with a sauce on the side, but it was running low. I was just looking at it, thinking it's almost gone and it's almost time to close. Then a staff member noticed and said, "I'm making more now." Oh, did I look like I wanted it? My partner had never tried a chocolate fountain before and had always wanted to. So today, we unexpectedly got to try the chocolate fountain. His reaction was, "The chocolate is sweet. Is that it?" The staff member who had set up the additional yakisoba was looking around for someone. Oh, were they looking for the person who seemed interested in it? I stood up and said, "Here I am!" I was quite full by then, but I went to get it anyway for the person who seemed interested. The yakisoba was delicious. But here, my favorite was the pilaf. It's nice to eat a full meal with a nice view. Everyone seemed satisfied, so it was a great experience.

It's a place in Kitahiroshima City, on the 12th floor of Classe Hotel in Nakanosawa. Please check the exact location on the map on Tabelog as usual. On weekends and holidays, you can enjoy a lunch buffet for 2,000 yen, which includes access to the hot springs. I parked my car in the hotel parking lot, paid at the front desk, took the elevator to the 12th floor, and entered the buffet area. They informed me that there was a 90-minute time limit and that coffee and soft drinks were included in the price, but alcoholic drinks would be charged separately. The buffet had a variety of dishes like curry, pasta, and simple sushi, along with coffee, tea, and juice for kids. I randomly selected some dishes, but it felt like a typical mid-range resort breakfast buffet. The young couple with small children seemed to be enjoying the most. For seniors who can't eat much, it might be better to dine at a specialty restaurant. Additionally, you can access the hot springs for an extra 400 yen, which is a good deal considering it's normally 700 yen.

Located in Hokkaido, Hokkaido, this restaurant on the top floor of a hot spring hotel offers a lunch buffet for 1600 yen. However, if you opt for the bathing package, it will cost you 2000 yen. Some may think of a buffet as a battle – how much can you eat to make it worth it? For those in their prime eating years, like growing children, teenagers, and people in their 20s, it may not be a challenge. But for those past the halfway point in life, it becomes a question of how to leave the restaurant feeling satisfied and not uncomfortably full. I mentioned this to my companion, who just laughed – silly me. I am, indeed, a bit greedy. I sampled a bit of everything, and there were more options than I expected. It's a battle against my own desires, it seems. I haven't reached the point of "I'm in pain, I can't move," so I guess I haven't lost (probably). I remember a time when there was talk of winners and losers, but I haven't heard much about it lately. The restaurant is located on a small hill, offering a great view from the top floor. With high ceilings and large windows, the food is within the expected price range for a hotel. There was a live cooking station for crepes, which was fine. The chocolate fondue was as expected. The curry was medium-spicy with chunks of meat at the bottom. I feel like in Hokkaido, home curry tends to be pork-based, but in hotels, it's often beef – interesting. The service was appropriate, with no issues. They had a good mix of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes, including stewed tripe and sweets that kids would enjoy. There were some ready-made dishes, but if you're looking for quantity and variety, it's okay. It would be great for families. The hot spring baths are separated by gender, with indoor and outdoor baths available. Being on a hill, there's a sense of openness. The spring quality is sodium-chloride, 44°C, pH 8.9, with a powerful lift. There's no added water, but they use circulation and chlorine. The deep-reaching sensation is decent, suggesting a good spring source, but the lack of aroma and slight chlorine smell may be due to the circulation. The outdoor bath, despite having a roof, feels open, allowing you to gaze at the sky beyond the trees while bathing. It's quite popular and always seems crowded. The water temperature is around 41°C. The indoor baths have low and high-temperature options, and for some reason, there was a lavender bath available – quite amusing.

Located on the 11th floor of Kitahiroshima Classe Hotel, this restaurant offers a buffet-style dining experience. During Golden Week, there were many families dining here. I ordered the hot spring and lunch pack plan for 2,000 yen. If you only choose the buffet, it costs 1,600 yen, while the hot spring alone is 600 yen (towel rental is an additional 300 yen). It's more cost-effective to go for the set. The menu includes fried rice, ankake yakisoba, chop suey, mapo tofu, green curry, keema curry, and more. They even have chocolate fondue. There is a wide variety of vegetable dishes like salads and marinated vegetables. It's a place where people of all ages can enjoy. The view from the window overlooks a golf course, offering a pleasant scenery.

Actually, I used to visit this place at night with friends before. We only had cake and coffee. One of us was eating curry, which looked delicious, so I decided to revisit. The Classe Hotel actually has a gym, and I purchased a Groupon for 2 months of unlimited use for 4980 yen. It includes a bath, all for under 5000 yen, which is a great deal! Most gyms charge 2500 yen for just one visit as a visitor. Plus, it's rare to find a gym with an outdoor bath. They also offer a bath and buffet set for 2000 yen, or just the buffet for 1600 yen. The bath and restaurant have a nice open atmosphere overlooking a golf course. I haven't compared the lunch to JR Tower, but I prefer the view here, so the cost performance might be better. The food includes salad, creamy mushroom pasta, curry, yakisoba with sauce, shirasu rice, zangi, salmon nuggets, chicken nuggets, silver cod, mackerel miso, stir-fried vegetables, and more. The dishes were simple but well-prepared. The size of the shrimp in the seafood marinade surprised me, and the dressing was distinctive and memorable. I was satisfied with just that. I felt the saltiness was strong, but that might be due to my condition. I read in a manga once that exercising makes you more sensitive to saltiness. I entered the venue at 1:45, even though it said entry was until 1 pm, and I was able to enjoy until 2:30. I also had cake and coffee. They mentioned that they wouldn't replenish the food after 2 pm, but there was untouched almond tofu in a container, allowing me to enjoy the smooth surface with a spoon.

A local TV show called "○sanco Wide" introduced this place, so we decided to check it out. It used to be the Prince Hotel at a golf course, but now it's been reborn as the Classe Hotel. There's also a hot spring, which got Snoopy's husband excited. The restaurant is on the top floor with a great view. We had high hopes, but despite making a reservation, we were seated in the dark by the golf course side and the service was slow. This was a major letdown. Most people were having the buffet, so we did too. It cost 3500 yen, which is reasonable for Hokkaido. However, there were only about 10 dishes, mostly home-style food like fried shrimp, fried chicken, and takoyaki. It felt like a hotel should offer more variety. Dessert was disappointing too, with only 2 types of cake and a few ice cream flavors. The cakes were mousse-like and not chilled, so they were a bit runny. There was a live cooking station for steak, tempura, and ramen, but the taste was nothing special. Unless there are significant changes, I don't think I'll come back. We did enjoy the hot spring on the way out, but there were only 5 hair dryers available, so there was always a wait. Overall, the balance between price and quality was lacking. The bath was okay, but I think Sheraton's bath might be better. Note: The dinner end time was unclear, so please check before you go.
