Lounge with Honey Buffet

I arrived at the hotel around noon, and there was an available room, so I was able to check in early. I didn't know that the hotel even had a guest lounge. I was just going out for some water and coffee to warm me up, but I found out that they have a honey buffet in the afternoon. They offer a variety of honey flavors to try, along with unlimited refills of crackers and wafers. I really enjoyed it. Sipping drinks and tasting honey, with the view of the river behind the hotel, was truly blissful. I noticed that the leaves had almost all fallen. Due to the mountainous terrain, the leaves change color earlier than in Sapporo. In the evening, I was waiting to see what a truly authentic Japanese dinner would look like.
