I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with its clean and spacious traditional ryokan-style rooms that made it a cozy retreat after a day of exploring. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, which added to the overall positive experience. However, reaching some of the attractions by bus was a bit tricky, and the dining options could be improved. Overall, a great value for the money!

I recently stayed at this traditional ryokan, and it was a wonderful experience overall. The rooms are spacious and beautifully furnished, providing great comfort. The service was friendly, especially once the language barrier was crossed. The location, while scenic, can be a bit tricky to get to without a car, but the onsen facilities are truly unique and relaxing. One downside was that the dining options could have been better, particularly at breakfast, so that was a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, I found it to be a good value for what I received.

I had a wonderful stay at this traditional ryokan-style hotel. The spacious rooms were particularly enjoyable to hang out in with friends, and having a tatami area with a Japanese tea set was a lovely touch. The service here was friendly and accommodating, although the language barrier was a bit of a challenge at times. The dining experience had its highs and lows, but overall, it was good value for money. The location was impressive, especially the unique rotemburo in the onsen. However, some details could be improved, like the Wi-Fi. Overall, I felt it was a great experience with a few minor setbacks.
