The whole experience of staying here was fantastic! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming and dinner was a great experience. Our room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We had a smoking room and as non-smokers we pleasantly surprised when we arrived and could not smell smoke in the room. Although you have a toilet and sink in the room, there was no shower so you must enjoy the onsen experience if you want to wash. The local area was quiet and there isn't much to do in the evening but I would thoroughly recommend a stay here if you want a more local/traditional experience.
