    This was a great experience - the traditional room and bedding, the meals, and the service were all fantastic. Location is a bit tricky to get to if you don't have a car, but well worth the effort.

    Well , from the moment we arrived up until our departure, we were spoiled, the staff , the facilities, breakfast, all were sooo good , to be a little precious the traditional style of bedding was a little hard 🙃) Though that was a first world...

    The staffs are super friendly and helpful. The two gentlemen from the reception counter tried their best to help me with information of the ski resorts and the road way from the hotel to the onsen town, not forgetting also the lovely Filipino lady...
