Onsen was incredible. Included buffet meals were great. Room was a bit dated and musty, but nice experience to stay in a traditional Japanese room. We rode Rusutsu Resort— the drive was about 40 minutes and mellow. Would recommend!

It was a traditional Japanese room where you sleep on a futon on a tatami floor. The room was beautiful with a nice sitting balcony room that overlooked the side of the mountain. The only problem was the smell of the dust that gathered on or inside the tatami. We don't know whether this is normal and we just aren't used to sleeping in a tatami room.

The amenities were wonderful. An onsen and 2 meals a day. Was able to switch to a room with beds instead of futons on the floor. The rooms were well appointed with an enclosed porch. Only difficulty was no fluent English speaker on staff

Hotel need to be updated.Hot springs are fantastic, very clean and well maintained.Breakfast and dinner were amazing, great selection and staff were great.Two ladies on reception were helpful but no English speaking staff, they used phone to translate.The young fella on the reception haven’t tried to help at all when we requested help. Only problem was the transfer, They emailed us that they will pick up/ drop off our group of 6 from/ to the airport without any change but after they ignore their email and charge us $400 to the airport……

The rooms are very basic, and Japanese style. The Onsen was AMAZING - beautiful outdoor and indoor pools, and use of a sister hotel down the road. Very close to Rusutsu (45 minutes by car) ski resort, which is what we came for. The food was good, although the same thing every day and night. The staff was wonderful. We had dietary restrictions, so they brought us special platters in addition to the buffet. Everybody was so incredibly friendly. Not much to do in the town, but the hotel was so wonderful.

Simple onsen hotel

Simple, budget and old onsen hotel. The location is not easy to find. One of the road has been closed when following the GPS but luckily the GPS navigated another road to reach. The room attaches a toilet, but does not come with shower room. The shower place is in the onsen compound which means you need to shower publicly. The onsen will switch in every morning so that you can try both sides of onsen. The outdoor onsen is highly recommended. Dinner and breakfast are good and lots of varieties. The staffs are friendly, although they can only speak a little English. Overall is acceptable.
