A truly special resort. We spent 2 nights and experienced a very relaxing vacation while here. All the rooms are different, and well capture the beauty and comfort of the Japanese aesthetic. We had a meal at Izanami, which is onsite, and one of the best Japanese restaurants I've been to in the U.S. (Which is saying something, since I lived in Japan for 4 years!).
As a guest, you get access to some of the geothermal baths before the bath house opens to the public, which was lovely and very relaxing. 10000 waves isn't exactly the same as an onsen experience-- but it's the closest thing I've found in the US, with updates and upgrades which make it as (or perhaps even more) comfortable.

And all of the staff, without exception, were truly phenomenal, so helpful and friendly-- I've never experienced better. Well worth the price tag.
