"The Mito Plaza Hotel is excellent. The hotel architecture is beautiful and particularly the interior which was designed by the great-grandson of Thomas A. Edison. The hotel is in a quiet area about 15 minutes from the Mito Traus Station by taxi. I had dinner at the Chinese restaurant which was good. There are also a Japanese and a French restaurant. Great hotel, and a good value."

"It’s an older hotel, not located anywhere convenient or near major sightseeing spots, but quite nice. Hardly any foreign tourists when I stayed, so if you want to experience the good old Japan (that is becoming increasingly difficult to find), here is the excellent option."

Very clean room, close to restaurants and shops within a 5-min walk since it is next to the Mito Train Station. One of the best staff I’ve dealt with. The only thing I can say negatively is the breakfast it is not a traditional American breakfast and more of a Japanese style. Overall great place to stay if you are in Ibaraki Mito.

While it was unfortunate that it rained during our stay, the scenery from the bath was absolutely beautiful, surrounded by vibrant greenery. The room was spacious and elegantly designed with a traditional Japanese feel. The meals were delicious, and the staff provided exceptionally polite and attentive service. Located in the mountains, the hotel offered a peaceful setting where we could truly connect with nature. It was a wonderful getaway, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

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...
