I am ○○, and my family and I stayed at your hotel in August 2023. It was for my daughter's 5th birthday. After making the reservation, I requested a surprise, which you kindly accepted. My husband and I were excited about what would happen and looked forward to dinner.
As the meal was coming to an end, you and a foreign staff member from the restaurant came with a cake, followed by a saxophone performance.
After placing the cake on the table, you said, "Let's all sing together!" and began singing Happy Birthday. When the other guests joined in singing, honestly, I couldn't stop crying.
The woman at the front desk took a video and sent it to us, and every time I watch it, I remember and tears overflow.
We were thinking of coming back next year, but this month, my daughter passed away due to pediatric cancer.
We already knew that day, but it turned out to be our last family trip.
Recently, when sorting through my daughter's belongings, I found an unfamiliar keychain. Since I never bought it for her, it must have been something you gave. On closer inspection, the case was printed with "Atagawa Hot Springs Blue Ocean."
It was a treasure that came out of the box my daughter cherished.
After talking with my husband, we decided to stay again once we've settled down.
However, I learned from your post about the closure. It's unfortunate, but I think there were various circumstances.
I will never forget the last memory you made with my daughter. Thank you very much.
If there is a chance to reopen, I would definitely like to stay, so please keep me in mind.
Sorry for the long letter, but this is where I will say goodbye.
