We stayed for three nights and it was marvellous. It is a larger, more hotel like ryokan but still has a very tranquil atmosphere, and was great for families like ours. There are two public onsen — they switch between men and women daily — and both are spacious and serene. It was such an experience soaking in the onsen under the stars, looking out onto the mountains. The rooms are spacious and the private balcony bath which fills with hot spring water at the touch of a button is a lovely touch. The buffet breakfast and dinner were both very good for buffet offerings. The staff were friendly and went above and beyond to help.

We had a really relaxing night. Onsen was great. I wish I had it during the day. I booked dinner at 5pm instead of 7 so I only had time to go onsen after dinner so it was dark. They also had concert with a singer and a guitar which was nice but other than that I wished we have some walking path nearby so we can have morning walk. The room was clean but the mattress was little old so I didn’t have a good sleep. But the area was quiet and relaxing but wished little more activity.

Fantastic Service from the start to finish. Room was extremely spacious, clean, and had great quality amenities. The interior garden was extremely beautiful with the hot spring water flowing into the hotel. Food was extremely tasty and had a superb variety to cater to many needs.

a great accommodation

The service, room, meal, onsen, and rest area - everything was great. Japanese grilled dinner and breakfast buffet were really nice. One thing that was disappointing was that the check-in staff left out the explanation about '(hotels.com) platinum exclusives'. I was able to get an alternative service after asking for a detailed explanation. Still, the staff was friendly.

Booked because it looked pretty on the pictures but the hospitality exceeded what we expected and we enjoyed our stay. So much so, that my boyfriend is asking if we can come back the next time we’re in Japan.

The onsen and rooms were nice. It was an experience, but probably wouldn’t do it again. The buffet and dinner was ok for the price. Seafood wasn’t super fresh.
