Kristin

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).

Dariy

Overall it was a bit overrated. The pictures did not exactly correspond to the real situation, probably it used to be like that once upon a time, but it needs to be updated for sure. The experience was ok. The area was comfortable and quiet. The hotel was warm and clean, the room was spacious, but a bit worn. The ratio price-service was acceptable.
