It was my first time to experience a hot spring hotel. Overall it was very comfortable. Although it is not a new modern hotel, it was a good feeling to experience Japanese culture. There were more Japanese people staying this time. Although we were tourists, the staff entertained us very warmly. Dinner and breakfast were very rich. Although the road is a bit far from the city center, it is still worthwhile to experience this hotel. The room is very large and the scenery is great. It's so spectacular. There are small bugs in the natural environment. It is recommended not to open the windows. Everything else is impeccable. The hotel's care products are also very complete and facial masks are provided. Overall, it is highly recommended.
Excellent river, kayseke's dinner was delicious, good service. Very liked Onsen on the street. There is a transfer from the station waiting, but it is premature to write or call the hotel.
Awesome container house hotel, comfortable space, good service attitude, very good, recommended to everyone, coffee tea can be used at the counter, and microwave food, thank you.
Choose from a wide selection of hot pots. Stay warm and fully enjoy the winter resort.
