    Set in the peaceful TogattaOnsen, a very rural town. The area is easier to explore by car. The food was unbelievably good, we did half board, enjoying both breakfast and dinner Japanese style. The service was excellent, all the staff were so helpful, even with my limited Japanese. If you want a relaxing place, this is it, they have both public and private baths available (private is extra cost).

    The onsen was an OK experience. Although nothing special, and suffering from the same maintenance issues as the rest, the outdoor hot spring was quite cosy. Also, sheets and room was fairly clean (although smelling smoke), and no bed bugs or anything similar. We were supposed to stay for 2 nights, but because my mother could not stay in her room due to the asthma, we left after 1 night. For this, the hotel was kind enough to refund the 2nd night. Which deserves mention. That increases the score.
