This hotel offered a beautiful escape to authentic Japanese culture, nestled in a stunning town. The atmosphere felt like stepping into a cozy mountain cabin, and the onsen facilities were fantastic for relaxation. However, the language barrier made it a bit challenging for foreign visitors, and it may not suit those seeking a more familiar environment. Overall, it's an excellent choice for anyone looking to experience different aspects of Japanese culture.

I had a wonderful time at the resort! The onsen facilities were fantastic, with both indoor and outdoor options available around the clock. The convenient shuttle service made it easy to get around, but the limited English spoken by some staff could be a challenge for non-Japanese speakers. Overall, this place provided a great value for the price, but the dining experience could be improved.

Our stay was a unique experience in a picturesque town, with a cozy, cabin-like hotel that offered fantastic hot springs.

Overall, if you're looking for an authentic cultural experience away from the typical tourist path, this hotel is a solid choice.

I had a lovely time at the resort, enjoying the spacious rooms and the relaxing onsen facilities. The views and the setting are gorgeous, making it a serene experience overall. However, the location is a bit remote, and the directions to get there could be clearer. It's a bit tricky for those who don't speak Japanese, but I found the overall experience to be very enjoyable and would happily return.
