Fantastic location, beautiful rooms, and a delicious traditional breakfast. Staff were incredibly attentive and kind. I wasn’t able to use the onsen, but my partner did and enjoyed it very much.
Helena, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location, excellent staff, great traditional food, beautiful traditional onsen and Japanese sleeping experience. Gave it a low rating because over priced at $350 per night. Would have given 5 stars if everything was the same, but price was $100 less. I wish the women's onsen had a English language directions (apparently the men's did).
