Review: Such a cool place! We loved it here. It’s a bit of a ride to/from the city center, but worth it, especially if you’re looking for some quality “down time”. Do beware of bugs outside! Tons of orb weavers around (which are not aggressive), and other cool ones like grasshoppers, praying mantis, etc. The staff was extremely helpful in arranging taxis for us, because the GO app will not function as expected that far from town., by Claire

Review: Very friendly and helpful staff, better English than I expected. More or less traditional ryokan, with tatami floors. The room is spacious during the day when the futons are rolled up (the staff does that for you), and the futons are very comfortable to sleep on. Breakfast included in the price of the room was excellent. Dinner was extra, but not expensive--about $25 for a first-class, elegant Japanese dinner. The staff were very helpful, even picking us up at the bus terminal (much..., by Kerry, January 5, 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: This was a very nice experience for me and my family. The hotel itself is very nice, but the best part is the service provided by the staff. Extremely courteous and they provided for all our requests. It's in a very nice location with 9 onsens (hot spings) within walking distance. As long as you stay in a hotel in town, you get a free key to access all of them. The hotel provides you with a Onsen outfit that we found very fun to walk around in (like a kimono with jacket and wooden sandels)...., by Glenn, January 16, 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: Stayed in the glamping tent with my family of four (including a 5 & 9 yr old). Such a wonderful spot - tent was comfy w/ a dedicated toilet/sink room in a separate adjacent little building. Had a wonderful fire pit which the staff lit for us in the evening at the time we requested (on our was back from dinner we texted them from their very helpful app). All amenities in the main building were super clean, very new, and meticulously curated in a minimalist style. It had (x3) private Onsen baths..., by Anonymous traveler, March 28, 2025, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: Great experience, staffs were very nice, food was good, the room was clean and beautiful, they gave me the Sakura room, it's amazing! Also, you can drop by some near by attractions, like the waterfall (~1.8km hiking trail), the lake, etc. Will visit again :), by Zhuo Jun, November 7, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: All around incredible stay. Located on the Onsen road, with access to two public baths outside of the hotel, two very well equipped Onsen within the hotel, and the option to reserve a private Onsen as well. Not listed on when booking, but the hotel picked us up from the train station, as well as runs a free shuttle once every morning (940am) to the monkey park. Really nice touch that they should publicize more broadly. Highly recommend getting breakfast and dinner included. Highlight of the..., by Adrian, April 18, 2018, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: An unforgettable experience with my son who is 9 we enjoyed the private onsen with 2 separate baths we bathed under the stars which was perfect.

Review: This traditional ryotan was wonderful. It was a blend of traditional Japanese with modern updates. We booked a suite that had western beds and a private onsen. Our sons shared a smaller room with tatami mats. We selected the traditional dinner and breakfast which were wonderful experiences. If you do not like traditional Japanese food you may not like the meal option. The service was great and staff helpful, despite some language limitations. It was very conveniently located near the train..., by Irving, June 4, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
Review: Very unique traditional onsen experience! Staff were very kind and helpful.
