Utoro Onsen

Room was clean and comfortable. Parking is somewhat limited in the hotel main lot, so we had to park in a gravel lot about a block away (but at least it was still free!). We didn’t get to enjoy much of the facilities because it was 5pm when we checked in and we checked out the next day at 8am. Breakfast was good. Some of the staff was able to speak some English which was helpful. They also helped us make a dinner reservation at a nearby sushi restaurant which was greatly appreciated.

Nice food, good hotel. Highly recommended.

Nice hotel communal areas are lovely and well maintained, with a lot of more rural Japanese hotels they all seem to be partially renovated, communal areas always modernised and well maintained however bedrooms and bathrooms especially need updating. Breakfast buffet was ok not really much variety and always the same. Dinner buffet good and rotation of foods, we stayed 4 nights and on the 3rd + 4th night served a special plate by the chef as a gift for continuous stay. I would avoid visiting at weekends as very crowded and onsen and dining areas noisy and busy- staff very attentive especially waiting staff in dining hall took a shine to our baby girl. Onsen nice and clean and massage service also very good.
