Clean rooms and great service. Some staff know some English and if they dont they will try their best to help you.
Food was excellent! Be sure to get their breakfast and dinner! The onsen was relaxing.
The staff were very accommodating and kind. Our experience here has become a highlight in our Japan trip! Especially the half board menu where we experienced a hearty, well-balanced dining experience specializing in traditional Japanese food using local, fresh ingredients. The onsets were big and very well kept. We enjoyed our stay here!
This was our best onsen experience of our time in Japan, both the hot springs and traditional meals were excellent. The location is just a few minutes walk from the world famous springs
Beautiful property and inside/outside onsen. Splurge for the (9 course!) set dinner and breakfast option - we got lucky and were assigned a private room to enjoy the elegance. A wonderful place to stay in a wonderful town!
Love this traditional Japanese style hotel. Staff are very friendly. The dinner and breakfast included in my stay were superior. Beautiful services and beautiful yukata. Will recommend to everyone.
The customer service was above and beyond. We had the most relaxing time in the beautiful Onsen at the hotel. It’s in such a good location, beside many great Izakaya’s and walkable to all the breath taking views.
