I found this hotel last minute after my original reservation fell through. While the location felt a bit shady and was away from most attractions, the onsen was absolutely beautiful and the highlight of my stay. The rooms were spacious and comfortable but the hotel itself felt dated. Breakfast had limited options for western tastes, and I think the place could use some updating.

We had a somewhat mixed experience at this hotel. While the onsen was absolutely beautiful and the rooms spacious and comfortable, the location felt a bit shady and distant from attractions. The breakfast was quite tailored to Japanese tastes and might not please everyone, although we did find some cereal to enjoy. The shuttle service was a nice touch, but the overall vibe felt stuck in the past and could benefit from some updates.

The hotel was a last-minute find after our original accommodation fell through. Although the location felt a bit shady and was far from major attractions, the onsen was an absolute highlight. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but the overall vibe of the hotel could use some modernization. The breakfast was primarily Japanese, which may not suit everyone's taste, but the presence of a shuttle service to the train stations was a plus.

I had a last-minute stay here after my original hotel fell through, and while the onsen was absolutely stunning, the overall experience had its ups and downs. The location felt a bit sketchy and was quite distant from attractions, but the rooms were spacious and comfortable. Breakfast didn't cater well to western tastes, which was a letdown. Still, I would love to visit again just for the beautiful onsen.

I found the hotel to be quite charming in its own way, especially with a beautiful onsen that I thoroughly enjoyed during my stay. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, which was a definite plus. On the downside, the location felt a bit shady and was somewhat isolated from the main attractions, and the breakfast options didn't cater well to Western tastes. Overall, it was a decent experience at a reasonable price, but the hotel could really use some updates.
