    We loved the location - it is stunning. The hotel is great - it’s traditional in some parts (banquet area), our room was great, big and spacious. I loved the traditional aspects. Onsens are magical! The staff were wonderful.

    We enjoyed our stay here but thought it was a small inn but actually it is a large hotel. The food is excellent. Our children really enjoyed the baths and the snacks.
  • Archie

    Room was very nice with comfortable beds. The four private onsens were really nice (and free) as were the shared onsens. The restaurant was very traditional and the food was plentiful and tasty. Staff were helpful and the property was well...
