8.4 out of 10, Very Good, (16)
"We stayed in tatami rooms with private bath. It comes with a very nice view as you sit outside in the bath overlooking the mountain side. the food is wonderful, if you truly appreciate Japanese food (I've read other reviews saying the food was bland but that usually comes from a non-foodie that doesn't get quality food). It is kaiseki food for dinner and breakfast but if you stay longer, they will offer shabu shabu or sukiyaki. We stayed a couple nights so we did sukiyaki the second night....
