"Impeccable bed and bathroom ❤️ This was the best sleep I had in a while! Large, soft towels. Quality cosmetics and other amenities. They provide single-use, as well as solid slippers for the room. I also liked the futuristic self-checkin/checkout machines in the lobby (we did not use the checkin, but the checkout was a breeze). The room size was very generous for a Japanese hotel. The bed was splendidly, perfectly clean (there were some small spots here and there, but sadly not all guests know to act civilized in a hotel room). This stay was a joy! Five stars, no contest!"

"The hotel is very conveniently located next door to the station. It is a little shabby but seemed clean. The bathroom is one of those molded single unit ones, and it was installed up a full step from the room and the step was awkward. Also, the tub is not properly supported underneath, so the bottom flexes and pops when you step in it. The tub is also one with a very high side and there is no bar to aid in getting in and out."

"This is an older hotel/onsen that has been bought by a Japanese chain, and they have done a great job refurbishing parts of it while keeping the general feel of an older onsen. My friend and I greatly enjoyed our stay. We found the staff very kind and helpful, the food good, and the atmosphere in general very pleasant. Everything felt reasonably priced, and we had no problems using the onsen even with tattoos. We greatly enjoyed our stay and recommend it to anyone else looking for some peace in the Japanese mountainside."
