I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The breakfast was delicious and divers as well as the super. The star were the open air baths. For those like me with their head in the clouds, the bath can be accessed from the 6th floor where the onsens desk is. I loved my stay. Thank you!

Nice clean big rooms. The hotel was a bit off the city center, though. But it’s ok for us. We are already tired of walking around the center. Time to rest and do the onsen at the hotel

Customer service was excellent. I was so tired from my day that I slept right past my private onsen reservation, but they adjusted the time so that I could have my first onsen experience. A very nice hotel.

I had the privilege to stay in one of the rooms with the beautiful view of mountains and the city of Takayama. The staff was very pleasant and service was amazing. I also enjoyed the experience of the hot springs and would higly recommend anyone if they would be staying in Takayama, to come to this hotel.

The hotel was great until a huge bus tour group showed up and took over. The dinner buffet like locusts stripping away all food and made the whole thing a bit unpleasant.

The property had beautiful views. The rooms were very western in style compared to rooms in Japanese cities. The breakfast was good, but a bit high priced. It was disappointing not to have a swimming pool for a resort of this size. The staff were very attentive.

Perfect onshen!
The location is a bit on the outskirts, but everything else about this place was simply perfect. The room was spacious with a beautiful view, and the highlight was definitely the outdoor onsen. Soaking in the hot spring while overlooking a picturesque village that felt like the Swiss countryside was truly a dream. I enjoyed the onsen both in the evening and in the morning, and still wished I had more time there. It was absolutely wonderful, and I would love to visit again.

Spacious and comfortable with great views.
Very comfortable and spacious room with great views. Excellent breakfast buffet in a sunny big room. Shuttle bus service is prompt and good to have as hotel is on edge of town. Onsen was lovely, with great views and several different ones to try aswell as a relaxation area.

My family has stayed in this hotel 4 times over the years, and plan to stay there in the future.
The Onsen is great, the food at the hotel is very nice. Shuttle service into town is on the hour.
We always enjoy our time there. 😀

The room is large. However, For this medium-high cost , i would expect to have a good onsen experience. However the onsen is quite old dark and dirty with slippery moss and dirt on many areas of the floor. Quite unsafe actually. Regular cleaning should be carried out.

The positive: Our double bed room was very large, was very quiet and had an outstanding view of the Japanese alps. The hotel facilities were clean and well maintained.
The negative: Other than a very limited menu at the bar and a buffet breakfast, we were unable to eat at this hotel's restaurants. Inconveniently situated, it only offered a shuttle bus to the city center on an hourly basis. Communication in English was nearly impossible.

Nice Onsen Hotel Except for One Thing
Greatly enjoyed this stay. Big resort up in the hills offering a great view of the city out the windows. The room was big and comfortable. For dinner, we ordered the special set dinner for two which was fantastic with great service. For breakfast, it was a buffet but great nonetheless. The onsens were spacious with multiple pools.
The only negative, which was a big one, was the self laundry facilities. The four machines looked modern but they weren’t. Firstly, four machines for a hotel of this size is inadequate. Worse, the dryers didn’t dry. People had their clothes in there for an hour and they were still pretty wet. We ended up having to abandon ship after midnight and went to a local laundromat the next day. They need to upgrade these machines!
