    Excellent location not too far away from the main station (a few minutes ride with the hotel shuttle), with convenient store and a few nice restaurants within walking distance. Very stylish design with superb breakfast and onsen facilities.

    Fantastic indoor onsen included in the ryokan. The whole atmosphere of the ryokan is fantastic, with a mini aquarium near the stairs, a stunning garden in the hallways leading to the onsen.

    We love the wooden smell in the property. Everything inside are very clean and new. The property is very near to Hoshino Hot Spring Onsen, just 3 minutes driving. The description in Booking.com matches the property perfectly. Very easy to communicate with the owner via email.

    We spent two nights in Hotel Tsuruya and we had very pleasant time, especially my 4.5 year old boy. The staffs were very warm and helpful. The room and onsen place were tidy and clean. My boy loves futon and the Japanese breakfast especially the rice and miso soup. Although this hotel is not that close to the train station, we had fabulous walking time, stomping on the snows and chasing around before and after dinner.

    I'm a regular with booking.com for 10+ years n true onsens hopper and I must expressed this is 1 of those bad ryokans we have ever experienced!! Traditional old we can expect but toilet was dirty n service was zero.. food was bad unlike a real ryokan we were served western food for both nights! They still used kerosene as heater n whole ryokan was smelling of kerosene!! Utterly DISAPPOINTED n for the price we paid....it was really NOT WORTH IT AT ALL..
