"Wonderful stay. Lovely kaiseki dinner. The staff were super attentive and friendly. The hot spings were clean and very relaxing after a long day walking and driving. Oh and the view from the room in the morning across the valley was stunning"
"Actually, I just wanted to find a cheap room to take a short nap while waiting for my friend’s flight. In the photos, the room looked very nice, but in reality, it was totally different. The room was small, scary-looking, quite dirty, and dusty—as if it had never been cleaned. There were only a few shared bathrooms per floor (and only a few floors had showers, though I didn’t use them). When I saw the room, I was like, "What is this? 7,000 yen for this?" I couldn’t sleep at all—I kept hearing snoring from the room next door the whole time. When my partner went to the bathroom, I had to keep the door open and watch because the atmosphere felt really unsafe. There weren’t even any security cameras. In the end, I stayed for just over an hour and checked out. I figured it’d be better to wait for my friend at a late-night bar instead."
