Amazing buffet for dinner and breakfast. We hadn’t ordered the half board in advance, but paid for the dinner buffet on site and it was well worth it. One of the best buffets we’ve seen in Japan so far, and it included a great selection of alcoholic drinks!

I have stayed at many places like this in Japan. The concept is this: innovative operator takes over aging property and invests in upgrading the three key touchpoints - reception/lounge area + dining area + public bath. The rest is maintained at a bare minimum. I don't come to a place like this wandering the halls and stairwells looking for stained carpet or cracks in the walls. I want to eat well, soak in the hot springs, and relax in stylish surroundings. This place delivers. The bath is big and well designed. The lounge is nice, and the complementary drinks and snacks are well appreciated. The dining / breakfast area excellent, and I was quite surprised with the breakfast buffet - far surpassed my expectations. I will return next time to do more trekking, so this will be where I stay.

An OK place to stay, safe and clean but dated

Overall the stay was ok. They had free hot tea which was great when it was so cold out, but the room was very dated. Also, (just FYI) the hotel staff doesn't speak much English and you need a dinner reservation if you want to eat at the hotel- becides a little restaurant near the back of the hotel (which was good!)

良い意味で、外資系と日系のハイブリッドなリゾートホテルだと感じました。 日系とは明らかに違う設計で、1Fロビーも客室の廊下も、客室の中も、広々しています。1Fラウンジではコーヒーやドリンクが無料で提供されてくつろげます。夕食バイキングは食べ放題なだけでなく、アルコールも飲み放題。 いっぽうで温泉の大浴場と露天風呂もあり、館内はレストラン含めて浴衣とスリッパでOK。このあたりの日系っぽさも捨てがたい。 部屋にあるテレビの型式からして、築15年以上経っているのでしょうが、メンテナンスはよいと思います。 そして何より、圧倒的に（私にとって）好感度が上がったのは... サイクリング旅行で利用したので自転車を持っていたのですが、どこか人の目の届くところに駐輪したいと相談したら、「それなら部屋に持っていって構いません」と言ってくれたこと。さすが外資系！まあ部屋も廊下も広々しているからこそ、とも言えますが、嬉しかったです(^^)
