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.

Super nice getaway. There is not much around but this hotel is pretty much an all inclusive. They feed you breakfast and dinner buffet with late night snack as well. The food was great and overall was highly impressed with the value. Be careful planning your transportation too and from though as it is very limited.

The hotel is kind of dated but spacious and comfortable. The dining area is very pleasant and the food quality is good. Friendly services except the staff at the front desk was kind of showing us a blunt face when we checked in. Quite a convenient location if you are self-driving. Lake Tazawa, Nyuto Onsen and Kakunodate are all within 15-30 minutes driving distances.

Excellent room Staff are helpful but cannot speak English. Comfortable place The only complaint was the food. It snowed on the night of arrival and the next day we decided to use the hotel dinning. There plenty of choices but the food are not as fres at other places and was quite expensive . We later found reasonably close by restaurant which are actually cheaper.

とにかく古い！ろくにリノベされていない！ サービスも気が利いていない。例えば、大浴場には洗い場の数だけしかイスが無い。すると、子連れの母親が子供をイスに座らせるので、洗い場が空いていても、イスが無い為に順番待ちする人が出てくる。女風呂に子供用イスくらい置くべき。

Room given was on third floor and there was no elevator. We had to lug our luggage up 5 flights of stairs. When we ask to change to a lower floor, the manager asked to top up money to change to a room with elevator! I will avoid this Kamenoi hotel at all costs in the future!

我們提出同房型住2人比住3人便宜，基層人員購通後願提供1間單人房接替，捕個費用就好，且已收取。隔天高層不同意要全額補單人房價格！若不補，要搬回原處三人房。也就是不管我們提出的問題！3人房比2人房，每人負擔的貴。感覺基層了解問題，高層霸道！
