For a small town everything about this hotel was EXCELLENT. The room was outstanding - spacious and very comfortable unlike some Tokyo hotels. Staff was very warm and helpful. They were able to accommodate everyone for breakfast in their large ballroom and food was awesome.

We stayed here for a week while visiting our daughter who lived nearby. The staff were friendly, and polite. No problem with communication even though I do not speak Japanese. I really enjoyed their breakfast buffet. The view of the mountains from the room can't be beat. I agree with one review that said the toilet in the reception is the best toilet I have been to in Japan, as crazy as that may sound. Highly recommend!

We loved this onsen hotel. The onsen is incredible. I wish we had stayed for more than 1 night, but our schedule was a bit tight. However, it was a great stay. It's near enough to Yamadera, which is definitely worth a hike up the 1,000 steps, the Hiroshige hotel and much more. I would have liked to explore Tendo even more and have even more time in the onsen. Oh, and the kaiseki dinner was so delicious and in a private room where we had a view of an incredible sunset over the nearby mountains. The service by the staff was also exceptional. Super!!! If I am back in Japan, I'd love to come back.

Tendo Hotel Review

It was a great stay. he hotel was older, and one can tell from the architecture and decor it was built in the 80s and haven't gone through much renovations. The hotel is clean and is a full service hotel, with a large lobby and multiple restaurants / conference rooms (although everything is sort of dated to 80s / 90s) That did not deter the ambiance of the onsen. We had a full moon on the nights we stayed, and watching the full moon while soaking in the outdoor bath, with the waterfall and the stone pool lit, was the highlight of the trip. I also like that they used fresh flowers everywhere, with a large fresh flower display in the lobby. It is a fresh difference from some of the ultra modern hotels with granite everywhere. It is a sort of old fashion throwback to the heydays of Japan economy in the 80s. We had a large bamboo in the lobby area when we visited to tie fortunes wishes to. We could not find the self service laundry (but also didn't ask) The staff was friendly and very good, but a lot of the signage / directions did not have English. We had a very fluent english speaker / and english directions help us. Non-Japanese speakers do not need to worry, there are lots of help. It is a great onsen hotel. The hotel is located about 5 minutes by hotel shuttle (or taxi) from the station. It also had classic Shogi sets from different players displayed in the lobby area, given Tend city's heritage. Highly recommended if you are in the area.
Large lobby sitting area
Traditional room with Futons set up by staff. The staff will come and set this up for you.
All yukatas in room are M size, make sure to grab a bigger one if needed from elevator landing area.
Breakfast buffet sample, try the miso wrapped shishiso pepper with rice of porridge.
