You’ll earn coins when guests use your facilities.
Use these coins to open a gift shop, game corner, and more to develop your inn.
The more facilities you add and the higher your level gets, the more coins you’ll earn—and the wider the range of facilities you can open!

Be soothed by a cozy hot spring lifestyle!

You’ll get to see plenty of their adorable moments.
Plus, when you decorate the inn with items like furniture and ornaments, they’ll react in different ways depending on how you arrange them!

A rich collection system that will have you wanting to collect them all!
