A very nice, quiet natural environment. Polite and warm staff. The onsens are very refreshing. The one in the room provides further privacy though it’s small. The hotel is only 15 minutes walk from the JR station. The AEon and Daiso are in the neighbourhood. I will choose the same hotel if I come here again

Stayed in a separate room with children. The room was a little old but clean and comfortable. We didn't have to worry about the noise from the children because it was a separate room. There was a private hot spring bath, which was very nice. The food was very tasty and there was more than we could eat. The staff were all very kind, friendly to the children, and the service was excellent. All in all, the hot spring resort exceeded my expectations and I would like to return. Thank you very much.

We lived in the private onsen villa. The hot spring water is hot and very comfortable. The room was old but well kept and tidy. The shower is outside and we got some mosquito bites while showering during the day. There was spider inside the room that spun a web. Breakfast the next day was a simple fare. The location was near the main street, and 8 minutes walk away from the train station. Overall the experience was good!

I chose this property mainly for its location, as it seemed close to 湯之坪 and the shopping area. The onsen hotel is a standalone Japanese‑style house, which made the stay feel more authentic. We slept on tatami, which was a unique experience for us. Getting up from the floor was a bit challenging for me, but the futon mattress—with its cooling topper—was incredibly comfortable. We also had our meals served in the room. Although each dish came in small portions, the full course was more than enough to fill me up. The dining table is low, as is typical in traditional Japanese rooms, so you’re essentially sitting or kneeling on the floor. After eating, getting up became even harder. Our room included a private hot spring, which was one of the main reasons I splurged on this stay. However, I could see someone else’s balcony from the bath area, so my husband had to hang a cloth to block the view. Aside from that, my only real complaint is that the staff seemed to rush us through the meal. I’m usually a fast eater, but when I choose in‑room dining, I want the freedom to take photos and enjoy the experience without feeling pressured. We didn’t use the dining hall, which is the alternative option and offers regular tables and chairs. Still, we wanted to try the full Japanese-style experience this time.

The place offers 3 separate tiny private onsen without bookings, usually vacant during my stay may be coz of summer time. A supermarket closed at 7pm nearby, also close to the lake. Overall such standard with this price level (about $6xx) on Fri night is satisfactory

我們提早在下午一點抵達，櫃檯人員親切地提早讓我們入住。旅館景色優美，有三個不同的溫泉池可以使用，最令人難以忘懷的是豐盛精緻的晚餐及早餐；當我們已經無法再吃下任何東西時，餐廳人員還詢問是否需要將餐後的冰淇淋送至房間讓我們晚一點再享用，雖然最終忍痛放棄，當餐廳人員露出了可惜的表情時，相信下次拜訪由布院時，我會再度選擇古都の花心。

짧은 리뷰: 주변 료칸에 비해 싼 장점, 그만큼 청결도나 디테일 한 부분은 아쉽다 조식을 신청해 먹을만큼 가치가 있지는 않다. 추가 요금 없이 싼 일반 방 예약해 공용욕실을 하는것 추천. 리뷰: 체크인 직원분들이 몹시 친절했습니다 방 내부 청경하고 다다미 방의 전통스러운 맛이 있어 좋았고, 물도 씻은후 피부가 매끈매끈해져 좋습니다. 료칸 방 내에 목욕 가운 같은 간단한 전통 유카타와 외투를 줘 한번 입어보는 재미있는 체험을 했습니다. 공용 온천도 기다림 없이 편히 이용했습니다. 체크아웃 후 귀여운 열쇠고리를 주었습니다 좋은 추억이 되었어요. 아쉬운 점은 온천이였는데요. 주변의 료칸에 비해 싼 장점이 있지만 청결도는 아쉬웠습니다 공동 온천의 탈의실에 알수없는 지린 냄새(?)와 몸을 씻는 공간의 물 때등 온천의 청결도가 아쉬웠습니다. 료칸 방의 개인 온천이 있는 공간 또한 씻는 공간의 청결도가 아쉬웠습니다 온탕 돌 표면이 물때로 미끈미끈해 찝찝했습니다. 온천이 실외에 있어 어쩔수 없다 생각 하지만 바퀴벌레를 발견했습니다 굳이 비싼 가격을 추가해 료칸 아침밥을 먹을 만큼 식사 퀄리티가 높지는 않고. 간단한 일본 아침식이라, 그냥 근처마트에서 미리 장을 보거나 유후인 가게에서 식사를 하는것이 좋지않나 생각합니다
