A beautiful place for an overnight stay - clean, new and the futon bedding was very comfortable. The public bath was quiet and peaceful and we also enjoyed the private bath in our room. We had dinner in our room which was delicious.

A perfect stay for an unforgettable birthday

Everything was absolutely amazing! The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. The room was spacious, extremely comfortable, and well-equipped. We really appreciated being able to choose our own yukata upon arrival — such a lovely traditional touch. The private onsen in the room was a dream, and the public onsen was large and included a very relaxing jacuzzi. From start to finish, this was a truly relaxing and memorable experience. Thank you for everything!

The hotel was overall amazing. Staff were quick to greet me and helped me with my luggage. They had information in both Japanese and English. The room itself was very nice. Had a very classic Japanese appeal with modern amenities that I greatly appreciated it. They give a yukata for each day to maintain cleanliness. The private onsen itself was very clean and spacious. The futon was fluffy and comfortable enough that you couldn’t feel the floor beneath. Location was nice and easily walkable although there is a bit of a hill to get to the hotel. Minutes away is the shopping area that leads to Dogo Onsen. The shopping area has a lot of good food and local gifts.

Beautiful room with amazing Onsen! Staff were very helpful. This hotel is located uphill from the main Dogo Onsen area and takes a few minutes of walking up the hill to get there, and there is no store or restaurant within 3-minutes walk. We didn't eat in but you probably should. We asked the hotel to call a taxi a couple of times and both times they tried very hard but couldn't find a car... Really?? No complaints to the hotel itself but I may want to stay at another hotel closer to the train station next time.

他の方も書いているように、スタッフの対応や御料理は良いです。 特に器が素敵です。 お部屋食なので落ち着けます。 ただ、宿泊した部屋の前のクラブかキャバレーか不明ですが、店名のネオン光が秒単位で点滅して、部屋に入りこみ、寝苦しいかったです。→ロールカーテンがあるのに気づき、閉めたら気になりませんでしたが、最初から閉めておいて欲しかったです。
