Got a nice view of the mountains from my room. Buffet food was pretty good. All the public baths, including the ones at the neighbouring Mori no Yu, were very good! Would recommend coming if you want to enjoy onsen and disconnect from the busy city.

Vincent, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is an expensive hotel, and it is the food that makes it more expensive. With minimal options nearby, you are kind of destined to book the food options. We did not find the food options up to the standard of which we had paid. Some food was cold when it should be hot and food choices felt limited in some areas. This is buffet style dining. The free ice creams was brilliant though. And the onsen is the best onsen we have visited in Japan. the room was spacious and comfortable. We had a room with a private onsen, which to be honest is not necessary, because the main onsen is so amazing. The gardens are beautiful and the staff relly helpful, if maybe sometimes a little overbearing.
Andrew, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel offers great view and situated in a quiet environment. We enjoyed our stay and outdoor hot spring there. The only drawback is that it could be a bit crowded in the eating area (buffet) depending on when you go there.
