"We enjoyed our stay. Great staff and service. Very clean and a good dinner buffet. The hotel is a bit of a hike uphill. Google maps might tell you to approach from the right, go behind the hotel and come around to the entrance. This route has a bunch of uneven steps and is somewhat steep. It’s better to approach from the left side up a paved road with an even incline."

"Convenient to have all the food options, and loved the slopes attached! Loved our Dandan room with a hammock!"

"Taking the price per night into account, the hotel was very good value. The furniture and such are quite dated, but they ae kept neat and clean. The breakfast buffet spread is quite extensive. Mostly Chinese items, given most of their guests, but I enjoyed it. The staff was courteous, though communication is a challenge, which is to be expected in this part of Japan. Improvement opportunities- I would like for them to run their shuttle to the train station later into the evening. And second, post a notice on onsen rules in English in the onsen. Not all western tourists are aware of them, as I found out. "

"Room was massive, double the size of any room we have stayed in in Japan. Pillows had both Western and traditional Japan options. Fiona was encompassed in a fitted sheet (never seen this before) but kept us all warm even when it was sub 0 outside. Room had access to outdoor area, exclusive to the room, which had table and chairs. As it was an insensitive, there was only a toilet in the room - all showering had to be done downstairs in the onsen. Onsen was boiling hot - too hot for most of our group. Tip - if you don’t want to keep pushing the button to keep the water going har a shower in the onsen on the left. Location wise was great too - couple of minutes to the train (although up a very steep hill) and near lots of restaurants and the bus for the Snow Monkeys. Enjoyed our stay and would stay here again."

"The Ryokan exceeded all our expectations. The food was absolutely outstanding -beautifully presented and truly memorable. The service was impeccable, attentive, kind and genuinely welcoming. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and cared for throughout our stay. Having a private onsen that we could reserve was the perfect touch. It was peaceful and relaxing.We truly enjoyed the authentic Ryokan experience."

"Very cool staff was very nice and helpful!! "

"The meals were exceptional as were the wonderful staff. "

"Staff was very kind, even with the language barrier, were more than helpful. Rooms were well equipped with extra blankets and mattresses. The hotel bus drove us to the Monkey park and to the train station upon checkout. Onsen was very hot and clean. Would love to come back! "

"Love proximity to train station and other transportation hub. Breakfast buffet was great"
