Very pretty and organic style hotel on beautiful grounds with wandering paths, koi pond and running brook. The staff was professional. The onsen was clean and the outside baths made for watching the sunset a real treat. Highly recommended! We will be back!

Couldn’t find our reservation and when they finally did, didn’t fix the issue properly so was an ongoing issue. The door to the room wasn’t sealed properly so let air through and made a whistling noise.

Amazing
Sleek, modern and beautiful, yet still accessible for families. Dinner was amazing with many Japanese delicacies, and the breakfast buffet was also wonderful. The private onsen for our family was worth the small fee. Across the street for the main onsen experience put this experience over the top.

We had great service from the manager. He went out of his way to help and advise us. The hotel gives an immediate feeling of warmth. The garden at the back has a walking course in a wooded setting which is lovely for an early morning and evening stroll. However the cafeteria is very noisy and there needs to be separation from all the children running around from the rest of us. The food is very varied and suits everyone’s tastes and needs. The spa area with private and public pools is welcoming and enjoyable

Hello, very bad experience of hotel. Staff people were very rude. They dont really speak english and they dont have any education. Food is included but always so full that there are no possibilities to enter. They wont let you take a 200 Yen umbrella nor sell you one even if the sky is falling down. I got all wet and my bags too.
