Wonderful ryokan experience! The room and building were great; the staff polite, helpful, and cheerful. The full-course dinners were spectacular. The bath houses were the best part- incredibly spacious, with soaps provided.

The service was amazing. The food at the hotel was amazing, especially the dinner. The staff were friendly and helpful. We had a private onsen in our room which was really a bonus. The public onsens were also very clean and well maintained. The 8F one had great views. The rooms were very spacious. Amenities were great. We loved everything about this hotel and would definitely come back

All five star. Free shuttle bus running between the train station and hotel. Breakfast included was amazing. Plate painting is something memorable. Highly recommended for those who want an authentic onsen exiting Japan.

Nice and clean with helpful staff

Hotel is clean and tidy, with more than enough amenities and Yukata provided in amenities room next to lobby. Staff are very helpful with and speaking different languages. Room is spacious and clean. Just the onsen itself is not very impressive.

Excellent facility and service. It is an older facility, though still clean and well maintained. Dining halls are huge and there are bar, gift shops and a pottery workshop to keep you occupied. The onsen isn't too fancy, but it is expected at this price. The dinner was much better than I had expected, huge variety and great quality. Comparable to US$200+ per person resorts. Staff was friendly and surprisingly fluent in English (even compared to Tokyo) and genuinely wanted to help you out - they drove me to the station for free when I asked them to call a taxi.

夕食は食べきれないほどの量で、それがおもてなしなんだとおもいつつ美味しくいただきました。 無料飲み放題のアルコール、ソフトドリンクがあったのは嬉しい。今までたくさんのホテルに泊まってきましたが、夕食でそのようなサービスは初めて。 館内にはたくさんの著名人、芸能人が絵付けしたお皿が展示されており、驚いた。石原裕次郎、慎太郎のに見入った。石原裕次郎が来た時の説明書きが興味深かった。 共に達筆でした。 若い従業員が多く、地域の雇用推進している印象で地域活性化しているなと感じて、とても良い。
