Charming place in the very special location, on top of the heel. Thus, if you have problems climbing a hill and have no car, please be aware. Surrounded by lushes greenery. Very comfortable Japanese style room with wonderful futons and bedding. Onsen itself is very beautiful, although we found that mineral waters were somewhat too hot for us. This is the case with all hot springs in the area. We were not able to use them as we were hoping in comparison to hot springs temperature in other mineral springs resorts we had visited in the past e.g., Abano Therme in Italy, Desert Hot Springs in California etc.
