Kikori is a relatively large older onsen hotel not close to public transport but that is one of its charms. The concierge speak good English and there is ample parking for visitors. The food there is excellent and although there is only one indoor and outdoor onsen, it is quite comfortable. Can see the stars whilst soaking which is bliss. Only blemish is I would have liked a water or tea machine outside the onsen doors so guests can hydrate after a hot soak. (the in room tv is a tad small but inconsequential to the experience)
The apple farm next door sells lovely apple and honey products.
