"The house was spacious, clean, and very comfortable for our family of three. The two bedrooms, each with two single beds, provided more than enough space for two adults and one child. The kitchen was well equipped with essential cookware, including a rice cooker and microwave, which made it easy for us to prepare meals. The balcony offered a great view and added to the overall experience.
The location was also very convenient. Major bathhouses and sightseeing spots were within walking distance, the main bus terminal was only a three-minute walk away, and there was a nearby 7-Eleven for daily necessities. Overall, I highly recommend this place for families or travellers looking for a comfortable and convenient stay."
"Not really a ryokan, more corporate hotel than an intimate inn. Our room was lovely and outdoor onsen and was nice. The restaurant is quite large and it just wasn’t as intimate as some ryokan we’ve stayed in. The location is good if you’re going to the hot spring “hell” which can get touristy and busy. Go before the crowds come. They’re interesting - especially the top 2 or 3. I’d skip the ones below. Back to the hotel, the food was adequate - not particularly noteworthy. We’ve stayed at some really special places and this was not the finest, but the price reflects that."
"The property is lovely, different and very attractive in the trees. The room was large and in a nice style. The lady on reception when we arrived couldn't have been more helpful and spoke excellent English also.
Walking is easy to the Hells from there but far from the beach so a bus or car to there is needed.
Lovely breakfast sandwiches delivered the night before was very nice indeed.
Very comfortable bed.
Issues - we had hot water in the evening for a bath, but when I needed a shower in the morning it was stone cold. The hotel emailed me saying there were instructions, but there simply was no hot water as I know how to use a shower and taps.
The air con did nothing. Again, they said there were instructions, but we have been in 10 hotels so far each with different machines with no trouble, so it was hot and stuffy.
A projector in the room worked for about 4 mins then went blank every few minutes and came back, so if you wanted to use it, it was frustrating and difficult.
Noone on reception after 8pm or in the morning so I had to leave a note, but they did respond to that.
Overall a good, comfortable room, but too hot and no shower spoilt the whole experience for me."
"This was our first experience at a traditional onsen ryokan and we loved it. From the private onsen to the traditional breakfast and excellent care and service."
"Beautiful hotel with a gorgeous view from the public baths. I was utterly obsessed with how beautiful they were at night, and really enjoyed the stay. There are staff to greet you at the entrance, and the location is close to the main attractions."
