Question 9

I see the option for 'All Staff', 'Private Room 1' and 'Private Room 2' when attempting to make private onsen booking. What's the difference between these?"

Accepted Answer

Please ignore the 'All Staff' option as it is a fixed option set by Wix.com which we are unable to remove or rename. We only have two private rooms available for booking.

Room 1 bigger walking space + extra sunbed with inbuilt onsen steam
Room 2 tighter walking space, onsen + sauna

Note: We have amended our timeslots for both our Private Rooms. Each room now has a fixed set of booking time. Do filter out the available booking schedules by selecting either Private Room 1 or Private Room 2 when doing your booking.

Accepted Answer

Our private onsen pricing is meant for private onsen only. We included free access to public onsen as an additional benefit without any extra charges for private onsen customers.

Question 12

My iPhone event calendar shows that the Private Onsen session is 1 hour. Why is that so?

Accepted Answer

All our private onsen sessions are 1 hour 30 minutes by default. We had contacted Wix support previously regarding this, and it is due to the iPhone's own default mechanism that it allocates a default duration of 1 hour in the event calendar.
 
Do note that the duration is manually adjustable.
