Hotel qui est plus un resort, mais à taille humaine. Nous avions une chambre traditionnelle splendide. Les équipements de l’hôtel sont nombreux. On peut s’y relaxer une bonne partie de la journée. Concernant les onsen privés, je recommande ceux sur le toit en plein air. Le personnel est très agréable et a l’écoute. Je recommande vivement
Our stay was a very special traditional ryokan experience. The location right next to the river/waterfall makes for a scenic backdrop, that just elevates the experience. Our room was rather big and we loved the decor. The spas are large and all have an in- and outdoor area. We also booked massages and the private spa and both where very nice. Breakfast is traditional japanese. We went by car and there was parking close to the hotel, but there is also a bus station right in front of the lobby.
My wife, our infant son, and I had an excellent stay here for two nights. The hotel has been thoroughly updates and the rooms are beautiful and comfortable, with all of them having views of the river and forest. The staff were all friendly and accommodating, and went out of their way to make things work with our son. The public baths were in excellent condition and spotlessly clean, and the two footbaths were a nice touch that we used regularly as well. The included breakfasts and dinners were also excellent, and far better than I expected for the very reasonable price we paid for them, using local and seasonal ingredients including wagyu and koshihikari rice. There was also a good selection of local premium sake and other drinks for purchase with the included meals. As a bonus, there were also a variety of beautiful and colourful yukata available for female guests to pick from, and my wife really enjoyed this. My only qualm is the advertised free beer with you visits to the bath - which came in a laughably small cup that warmed up quickly and was not refreshing at all after a hot soak, but it was a great stay otherwise so it doesn't matter. Note that many staff spoke some English, but many did not, and having even a limited knowledge of Japanese made things much easier for us. Most guests were Japanese but everyone was very welcoming to foreign guests.
