"Wonderfully modern and clean home. The best part was the restaurant next door and the private Onsen soaring tub. They provide a number toiletries as a convenience if you didn’t bring any. The mini splits do take time to warm up the home, but once they do it is very comfortable. "
"Hotel extraordinariamente bien conservado, personal altamente eficiente y amable, fácil acceso al transporte público y transporte del hotel maravilloso"
"It was quite a journey from the station to the ryokan. Well worth it. Elaborate Japanese dinner and breakfast. Outdoor onsen. The new part of the lodge is 80 years old. It has been on this spot for 300 years. Quick bus ride to Lake Ashi next morning. "

Food was delicious, particularly at dinner, with cheap reasonable wine and good beers. Meals are served in private areas commensurate with your group size. Our group of six had a brilliant private room.

"Very attentive service and gourmet meals. A quiet hotel with a spacious room that hosted my wife, myself, and our 2 young adult children with sufficient privacy. The private onsen was spectacular, as was the little protected outdoor deck."
