The full service included in the price: shuttle bus from the station to the onsen, lent yukata, food, traditional room, and of course the natural onsen itself. I also liked the tattoo‑friendly outdoor mixed pools with traditional swimwear! The indoor footwear was a bit uncomfortable.

Läget med flera utomhus pooler. Dock var det lite dåligt upplyst kvällstid. Toaletten på rummet

The food was excellent; I thought Western cuisine would be a drawback, but both my wife and I really enjoyed it. The hotel and onsen are flawless, simply outstanding, and the hotel provides every possible convenience for guests, so you just have to relax. The staff were extremely helpful, assisting us from the moment of booking, telling us what we needed to do to get to the hotel, arranging a transfer and even moving the originally scheduled transfer time and start of the stay earlier.

The outdoor onsen beside the river is unique and very beautiful; most staff were polite and helpful, and the food was plentiful and overall good. However, the rooms smelled musty, elevators and some areas smelled of cigarettes, the place was very dirty, my room had not been cleaned properly, there was hair on the toilet, spider webs and a spider, windows were extremely dusty inside, the futon was uncomfortable (even for a half‑Japanese person who lived in Japan in youth). Communal showers were all dirty with pink mold; all water in the onsen had sulfur, even in the shower, so it was unpleasant to wash with the smell of rotten eggs. Property pictures only showed the main building, a nice Japanese‑style wooden construction, but I was put in the east building, a very ugly decaying concrete building. Nothing was specified when I booked; I didn't get a “discount” room, I paid the same. Overall, a tourist trap. I recommend sleeping elsewhere and just using the ¥1,500 day‑use for the pools.
