    We loved this place! Large tatami room with futon beds (note that you will have to make your bed which is common in Japan). The common areas are wonderful with many places to seat and relax, or work (desks and tables). The shared kitchen was large and super clean with everything you need to cook. The onsite Onsen was fantastic! One indoor Onsen and one outside, which was amazing! Staff was nice and friendly.

    The house is very cozy, almost everything made out of wood (a welcome change from Tokyo), a wonderful common room and a super nice private spa/onsen. The breakfast (small pastries still warm from the oven, milk and juices, tea and coffee) was also really nice. You can borrow a yukata (i.e.to use it after the onsen).

    We felt very welcomed when we arrived. The man had enough basic English to explain everything- although my husband speaks Japanese. The hotel was exceptionally clean throughout. Our room was made beautifully. Great selection of toiletries and yukata, robe and towels for the onsen. Breakfast was exceptional! Such a huge Japanese breakfast meal! Nothing really to complain about!
