"If you are staying more than 2 days get a rental car. The hotel is very good at what it does, which is provide a relaxing atmosphere with an accessible onsen. The restaurants there are not really restaurants. Breakfast is a buffet of plentiful food, mostly Japanese but I believe a pure westerner could survive. There is no lunch service. The dinner is a set menu of classical Japanese fare, which after the second day becomes a bit tiresome, but doable. They also offered a bonus meal at 9pm of noodles and such. There is a modest happy hour from about 3pm to 8:30 pm which provides a variety of booze and snacks. Staff speaks no English, so be prepared for that, but they are very friendly. My Japanese is passable so I was able to get assistance from the staff to get a rental car and reserve taxis, etc. There is no laundry service and if you have a tattoo you mus cover it while in the onsen. I checked at other hotels with onsens and most don't allow tattoos at all. The location is up on a little hill away from anything walking distance. There is no safe walking path of significant length around the hotel that is not on a narrow road, so don't count on any walks. There is a tennis court but other than that not any place to get cardio. But if you are coming here you are not coming for that. I am including in the description so the reader knows what is there. I would come again for sure. "

"The onsens were really great. Awesome breakfast, worth the extra cost. Moderate twin family room has 2 beds , 1.5 twin size. Not small as a twin, but not big as a double bed. Manga room massage chairs and free use space room were all great touches . The Lawson and bus stop across the street were super handy. 10 minute walk to Mito Station . Perfect for a stay in Mito! Will return! "
