Good breakfast, lots of choice. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Public bath was clean and relaxing. Good area to access tourist spots in the area. My only concern is the bedrooms, the room had an old smell and the wallpaper was dirty and peeling. If the bedroom wall and carpet was clean I would give a 4 star but the bedrooms were pretty old looking and need renewing. Not worth ¥40,000 a room per night with that interior.

All in all, a great hotel.

The room we were staying in was lovely and had a fantastic view. My husband enjoyed the onsen. All in all, a brilliant hotel I would definitely go back to. I wish we would have been able to take advantage more of the amenities but we have a little baby who likes to sleep!

Best hotel!!!!!!

This was the best hotel!!!!!! From the movie I got there, until I left, the hotel took care of me!! Everything except the breakfast was free. Free public bath, amenities, lockers, booze, snacks, tea. I want to come back to this town because of the hotel itself! The room was a little small and I had to ask for more than one pillow but this was the best hotel!

Excellent dining restaurant. The views were very good, river view. The room was spacious, yet a bitter old fashioned decoration. It could have been better if ladies' facial amenities could be provided. Overall, the hotel was a good.

Nice area, outdated hotel

The room was very large for Japan, but sparsely furnished and decorated with rather old stuff. The bed wasn't the most comfortable. Efficiency bathroom. It had the feel of a cheap business hotel, but for $188 for one night. Might be worth it in the summer and if you take advantage of the amenities of the free nightly drink and sento. It was one of only a few available places to stay in the area. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Free, large parking lot. Walkable area, near the beach and castle.

A hotel where you can feel the era when Japan was

I reserved a room each for my own mother and mother-in-law. My own mother's room had some paint peeling but was satisfactory. However, my mother-in-law's room was not in good condition with peeling wallpaper. We stayed at the same time as a large group of student travelers, so the noise they made was a bit disconcerting. However, the quality and variety of the breakfast buffet was very satisfactory and made the whole family happy. We understood at a glance that the city's location makes it inaccessible and difficult to manage for foreign tourists to visit. Under such circumstances, this hotel is doing very well. I would like to continue to support them.

The hotel was not accessible after 21:00, no transportation at all. We were stuck at Togo station (in the middle of way), no any alternative to move on. we tried to all kind of app as well as Uber, GO, no taxi available. It ruined our plan and totally waste our time, we waited for almost 2 hours and finally no choice unless you walk an hour to the hotel. seemed that it could not be your choice if you arrive in the evening. We could not wait any longer as it was already 23:00 !!!! Otherwise we need to sleep on the street in the cold weather. We sent the email to hotel for unexpected situation, they did not even reply, very disappointed
