Great experience.

Enjoyed the onsens so much here. The restaurant service was great, food was great and the staff were so friendly with our little boy.(thank you for your patience and smile!) The Japanese style room was cozy and not humid at all. We were lucky that it snowed a few times during our stay. Waking up to a beautiful snowing view outside the window was amazing. Great experience.

The hotel has a lot of public hot bath option, and also many spa menu they have, but I could not make reservation even tough after check in around 15:30. The spa and public baths are very popular for day time visitor so I recommend to make reservation ahead of time, if you want spa menu. Dinner was wonderful full course Japanese Kaiseki. I will be back with my family.

-The kaiseki dinner was excellent, offering a great selection and a private dining space. -The breakfast buffet also had plenty of choices. -I last visited a few years ago — the hot spring was outstanding back then, quiet and relaxing. This time, it seems to have been renovated, and the number of guests has clearly increased. -On a side note, there was an uncomfortable incident in the onsen area: a woman (who spoke English and appeared to be Chinese) was holding a mobile phone under her yukata, seemingly taking photos. It made me feel quite uneasy. I noticed there were clear signs prohibiting cameras, so the rules were well communicated — it was simply a matter of someone not being self-disciplined. I reported it afterward to the staff, who were ready to respond immediately, though I only approached them later. I appreciated their quick reaction and willingness to help. -Perhaps having occasional staff patrols in the onsen area could help prevent such incidents in the future.

The hotel well maintained and clean, both kaiseki dinner and breakfast was excellent. Onsen have 1st floor indoor ginsen & kinsen for hotel guests, 2nd indoor/3rd open air bath open for public. Staff very attentive and helpful especially for shuttle bus and helping me to get to the bus station and catching the correct bus. When check in, they really patient to explain each floor amenities and dinner/breakfast location, also there's welcome drink lounge self serve. I'll definitely stay again on my next visit.

The hotel is located on a steep hill, it is better to call the hotel to pick you up at the station. We thought it’s very close from the bus station, so we walked to hotel with 4 luggages. It’s exhausting. After we checked out, we asked for a ride to the bus station, and the driver dropped us off directly.
