Property was great. We specifically chose this for its Onsen, so we did not get the chance to walk around the town. But location is very convenient, only 5 minutes from the train station and shopping is close by. Highly recommend, staff super friendly, food was delicious

Great location - barely 2 blocks away from the train station. The host, Sugita, that greeted us was fluent in English! She was very hospitable and gave us information/recommendations around the area. The mall across the bridge has many cute stores and food to check out. The whole area is very quiet and peaceful. We got a room with a private onsen, facing the water - beautiful view. Strongly recommend!

Amazing hot spring hotel near Kobe and mountains

Stayed in Junior Suite and did one day with half board. We had a fantastic experience. Room was really pretty and the suite had a nice hot tub. The riverside view was really pretty, and they had a nice public onsen bath complete with riverside view, jacuzzi jets, and even massage chairs and complimentary drinks in the lounge area. Could also book a private onsen for ¥2,000 which was really reasonable. Service was excellent; staff were friendly, helpful, and respectful. They had some English-speaking staff on duty. There's a ramen shop and a convenience shop a short walk away. The hotel is also near the mountains, so we enjoyed the mountain views when travelling out to Kobe.
