The public onsen and massages are both excellent and reasonably priced, but be warned that this place has predatory pricing for everything else. All drinks and sandwiches in the a la carte fridge are without price tags and some of them were over $9 for a bottled drink. The restaurant had good service, but the portions are exceptionally small and unlike an authentic Izakaya there was no complimentary rice or salad, which the cynic in me thinks is to encourage ordering more expensive ($15-30) small plates. Basic drinks like matcha green tea are $4.50. Even the expensive resorts from Marriott don't charge this much for so little. We ultimately left feeling disappointed and ripped off, and are now eating at an Applebee's to make up for our hunger, but at least our bodies are exceptionally well relaxed.

Edit: the reply below dodges the issue. Prices are high and unmarked. I don't care how much nutrients are in a drink, that doesn't change the surprise pricing. And I know what an Izakaya is; I LIVE in Yokosuka, Kanagawa, Japan. The wagyu beef here is thick, marbled and tasty, not like the small number of super thin pieces Ten Thousand Waves had on their hot rock. If anything 10k Waves' beef reminded me of the super thin beef tongue that Gyu-Kaku (a great yaki-niku chain) gives out as a starter dish.
