Room is quite clean but it has some adour. The room is also old. The food is quite poor quality. The only thing that I am feel good is open air public bath. The view and decoration is fantastic.

Nice traditional ryoukan with excellent included m

Good traditional ryoukan type of setting. The included dinner and breakfast buffets were great and with good variety. Our room was very spacious for 4 of us. The outside hot tub was great. It's too bad that the hiking trails were covered by heavy snow and we weren't able to walk outside but, of course, the hotel has nothing to do with it.

Nice hotel excellent hot springs in winter time

The staff at the hotel were always very nice to us. From the moment we arrived to the hotel, they greeted us with a smile and walked us to our room. They explained the hours for dinner and breakfast and hot springs. After that, we went to have dinner. Dinner is really good if you're into Japanese food, there are few Western options but you're probably in Japan to enjoy the Japanese culture. When we got back to our room, our futons were already laid on the tatami. We went to enjoy the hot springs, they have both indoor and outdoor. The outdoor experience was interesting since outside the temperature was -14 C (about 7 F), but the hot water will prevent you from being cold at all (your hair may freeze). There's an option to get a massage outside the hot spring entrance. Next morning we had a very complete Japanese breakfast and after checking out we wanted to check out the town but we needed to take the bus. We didn't want to go back to the hotel to pick up our luggage, but the hotel staff told us they would gladly take it to the bus stop by the time we needed to catch the bus. It was truly great service and we couldn't be happier with our stay.

Good location, great staff service

We arrive late in the evening but the staff rushed out to greet us at the entrance. The hotel was old but in a good location. It was snowing which is probably the best part of the stay. Great scenery all around.

Great hotel in the middle of the Daistuitsan....

Love the service and location of this hotel. Good spread and quality of the buffet dinner and breakfast mixture of Japanese and Chinese food (cater for Chinese tourists). Very peaceful and zen,,, with our room overlooking a running stream. They even run a bingo game in the evening for the children, to keep them occupied.

Wir waren 2 Nächte hier und wären auch gern noch länger geblieben. Wir hatten ein herrliches japanisches Zimmer, was sehr gut ausgestattet war. Die Qualität des Essens ist absolut hervorragend, die Köche bereiten alles frisch zu in einer offenen Küche. Besonders toll ist auch das schöne Outdoor-Onsen, das perfekt und entspannend war nach unserer Wanderung.
