The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Very nice Onsen Experience

I was amazed by the variety of onsen options available, both indoor and outdoor. The spacious baths and beautiful design made my relaxation time truly special. I spent hours enjoying the different pools and their varying temperatures. There's even a spot where you can lie back and admire the sky! It truly felt like a rejuvenating escape, and I can't recommend it enough.

It featured a comfortable bed, a small refrigerator, and even an electric kettle along with tea and cups provided. The design was cozy and effective, making me feel right at home after each day's adventures.

6.0/10

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The hotel is quite functional, but it felt a bit outdated compared to modern options, and the cleanliness wasn't up to my usual expectations for Japanese standards. On the plus side, the staff was welcoming and the location offered easy access to plenty of dining options nearby.

Rooms

My room on the fourth floor was well-equipped, but very dated and in desperate need of redecoration. The bathroom was extremely small, even by Japanese standards.

I found this hotel to be a pleasant getaway with spacious amenities and a relaxing onsen experience. The staff, especially Kato, made our stay enjoyable, going out of their way to assist us. However, another stay I had in a different hotel was disappointing due to outdated rooms and no Wi-Fi. Overall, while the amenities and location were appealing, cleanliness and modern decor left something to be desired in the second hotel.

The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, which made our stay even better. The room was spacious, especially for Japanese standards, but it could use some modern updates. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with some hiccups.
