    The room we stayed was clean and cozy. Love the private outdoor onsen provided. I’m especially thankful that they could arrange to pick us up even at 10am, well before check in time. Also, there was a crowd during check out, we really didn’t expect the staff would arrange for another car to send us to the train station upon knowing that we could be late for the train. That was such a nice gesture and we truly appreciated it.

    The service in this hotel is super. Anda, who helped us to check in, can speak good English. She walked us to our room personally and gave us a private tour of our room. Walking distance to the main street. It is a good place to relax and slow down from the city life. Provide a lot of privacy with private dining and use of onsen just with your family. There is also an open air onsen in the room. Free flow of sweet potato and eggs. I love the "living room" area next to the lobby. We can listen to Japanese songs and relax with a cup of coffee. The popcorn making creates some interaction and some fun to every guest.

    The breakfast and dinner kaiseki were good but we felt that it could be improved with more variety or seasonal produce.

    It was clean and quiet. Staff were friendly and tried their best to accommodate our queries. The ryokan unit I had was really spacious, comfortable and relaxing. The amenities provided were all good quality.

    Everything was undeniably lovely.

    The staff was incredibly welcoming. We visited with 2 adults and 5 children and highly recommend it if you are looking for a peaceful, private, and relaxing place to stay. A special blanket and pillow were provided for our toddler along with special bath products. Oversized Yukata and slippers were provided ahead of time for my very tall husband. We were given a private dining room for the durration of our stay, and the half board meals exceeded our expectations. There was also no wait when reserving the private onsen, and both rooms we reserved came with indoor and outdoor baths. A highlight of the stay was when a team member taught us how to cook pop corn and Mochi over a fire while my children played with the provided Kendama and misc toys. Afterward, we were given roasted sweet potatoes and boiled eggs to bring back to our room as an evening snack. Everything about our stay was thoughtfully curated, from the ice cold milk bottles put out in the morning to the beautiful traditional architecture and stunning landscape views. 10/10 would recommend.

    Only one thing, location is suitable if you bring your car. It may near convenient store(Lawson) and not much far from travel location, but at night the path to the main road is pretty dark. Better drive out or walk with friend and flash light at night.

    The room is so big space and have everything that you need. Our room have Onsen + massage chair + separate toilet room and shower room. The private outdoor Onsen also ur highlight. One more thing, lovely Japanese living room with great garden view just like the photo in booking.com. The scenery is just right!! The staff also great service...even though some cannot speak fluently but you can feel the high level of service mind.
