Brought my little brother here for his first trip to Japan, and what a way to introduce him to Japanese hospitality. Every staff there was awesome! Great food, and great onsen!
Stayed in a traditional room with a private Onsen for two nights. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff were friendly to us. The public bath was gorgeous and the private Onsen in our room was so special. Only complaint was our wifi didn’t work, otherwise we had a splendid time.
Beautiful cultural experience. Having your own onsen and choice of the public onsen was very nice. We did not think the seiki breakfasts and dinner were worth the astoundingly expensive price. I would next time not book the meals, exorbitant cost at nearly $300 each time
Amazing onsen! I booked a room with a private open air onsen for end of March 2024 and was blown away at how nice my room and the entire hotel was. The facility was impeccable, food was good, staff was super nice and my room was so great. I was only there two nights and regret not staying longer. I will definitely come back to this onsen. Also, the surrounding was snowy and it snowed the second night, loved it! It felt great to relax outdoors in the warm water! Thank for Onsen staff for such a great experience.
We loved staying in this hotel. The photos online don't do it justice. My husband and I stayed in a Japanese style room with private onsen. It was gorgeous. The staff was very friendly. I highly recommend getting the dinner and the breakfast. It was delicious and such a great way to try a little bit of many different Japanese foods. The hotel feels like an old, rustic, mountain lodge. Very cozy with great views. The public and private onsens were fantastic. We were really plesantly surprised by how much we enjoyed this hotel. Highly recommend!

Old and dated ryokan
We stayed 2 nights, half board with private in room Onsen.
Pros: less than 5 minutes walk from Hirayu Onsen bus terminal, great private bath. Public bath has 4 different pools, which was all fantastic. Food is good and service is standard. Good room size.
Cons: facilities are old and dated. There’s some lingering smell in the room. WiFi very weak. Bugs inside the room.
This could be very typical for a traditional ryokan but not to my liking.
The hotel room is very basic and run down. There is no drinking water in the room. The toilet bowl seat does not come with heater and the shower curtain was very dirty. The outdoor onsen is very dirty. There were a lot of dead skin cell, scabs, and debris.

Unfortunately not a very pleasant stay for us. We booked 3 nights and checked out after only 1 night. After travelling 6 hours to get there, the young lady appointed to look after us was rude and unkind, trying to hurry us up to drop our bags and go to dinner. We barely had time for a quick bathroom break and she was phoning us telling us to hurry up because she was waiting. It was a long day so I just let it slide without worry. Dinner was nice but there was not options for your meal. Breakfast was exactly the same. The private onsen was our only highlight but even then they could use some serious updating. All furniture was stained and old which made the property look worn and dirty. The property is close to the bus station for day trips but not much else around in terms of amenities or shops. For the price I expected better.
As a gold member who travels frequently and has stayed in numerous onsen hotels, I must express my deep disappointment with this establishment. It is, without a doubt, the worst hotel I have ever experienced. From the moment I checked in at 7 pm, I encountered a series of issues that made my brief stay until 9 pm utterly unpleasant. The hotel unreasonably charged one night for two extra people, equivalent to a room charge, despite only requesting extra futons for my guests who were staying for just one night. The room could accommodate four futons, but I still had to pay the cost of an additional room. The lack of customer service, worn-out rooms, and unpleasant odors in the room and hallway further added to my dissatisfaction. The absence of complimentary water and the exorbitant prices of the vending machines were also disappointing. Clients were required to change clothes on the first floor and walk naked down 20 steps to reach the onsen, which was inconvenient. Although the onsen area itself had a nice view, the changing area appeared to be poorly maintained and lacked cleanliness. The breakfast and dinner were mediocre and failed to impress. To top it off, the hotel's Wi-Fi was unavailable throughout the night, making it impossible to stay connected. While the hotel's location near the station is convenient, and the lobby and exterior appear impressive at first glance, potential clients can make their own choice before booking a stay at this hotel.
