I had a fantastic experience at this traditional hotel! The onsen was incredible, and I loved the variety in breakfast options. The staff were genuinely helpful and made my stay even better. With beautiful mountain views, it served as a perfect base for exploring the area. My only downside was that not all dining options met my expectations, but overall, it was still a great stay.

My stay was absolutely incredible. The resort offers an authentic Japanese spa experience with both cloudy and pure hot springs, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere. The dining was a blend of Western and traditional Japanese, though the vegetarian option didn’t quite hit the mark. The tranquil surroundings made for a peaceful retreat. Overall, one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had, but I wish the vegetarian dinner had been better.

I had a wonderful stay at this authentic Japanese spa resort. The atmosphere was tranquil, and the ability to enjoy both the 'gold' and 'silver' onsens with scenic mountain views was a unique treat. The staff were incredibly attentive, and the breakfast selection was delicious. The only downside was that the hotel’s location required a bit of travel to get to nearby attractions, but the free shuttle service helped with that.
