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.
