Wonderful stay! 3 nights with two babies age 2 and 8 months, the staff were incredibly helpful, attentive and couldn’t do enough for you. The dinner was superb and breakfast varied. Unsure why such negative reviews we have a wonderful stay.

One of the most modern and luxurious ryokan we've ever stayed. The kaiseki dinner and the breakfast are skillfully elevated. The grounds are well kept and exudes zen. The onsen bath with a view of the still rock pond is especially striking in the evening. The room is spacious enough for 4. There's samisen concert at night after dinner, there's bookstore, etc.

The seamless pick up at the station and the lovely kamakuras in the hotel were great. Meal service was great. Staff onsite were wonderful and the snow views made everything magical. The town was v quiet so buy whatever you need before you arrive. Also make sure to alert the staff 5 days in advance if u have dietary needs, the reservation/meals team would not accommodate last minute dietary restrictions even if you have legit reasons which tbh was the only disappointment in our almost perfect stay!

3xxxhkd的酒店，還不如平時的普通溫泉酒店！景色，環境，設施都被攝影師推高。露天風呂超小，大概只能容納8人，沒有景色，沒有裝修。讓人感覺只是個小旅館！晚餐是和食，難吃，我寧願吃自助。房間風筒壞的，洗澡水堵塞。對本來很期待這間，結果體驗極度極度極度差！想試伏的話，不妨一試！

沒有冷氣

已經是6月中旬後，室外溫度已經30度以上，但因為是中央空調，房間只有暖氣，沒有冷氣。跟櫃檯反應卻不能調整溫度設定，最後只能借電風扇。餐廳也是沒有冷氣，大家揮汗如雨吃著火鍋熱湯
