Nice traditional ryoukan with excellent included m

Good traditional ryoukan type of setting. The included dinner and breakfast buffets were great and with good variety. Our room was very spacious for 4 of us. The outside hot tub was great. It's too bad that the hiking trails were covered by heavy snow and we weren't able to walk outside but, of course, the hotel has nothing to do with it.

Nice hotel excellent hot springs in winter time

The staff at the hotel were always very nice to us. From the moment we arrived to the hotel, they greeted us with a smile and walked us to our room. They explained the hours for dinner and breakfast and hot springs. After that, we went to have dinner. Dinner is really good if you're into Japanese food, there are few Western options but you're probably in Japan to enjoy the Japanese culture. When we got back to our room, our futons were already laid on the tatami. We went to enjoy the hot springs, they have both indoor and outdoor. The outdoor experience was interesting since outside the temperature was -14 C (about 7 F), but the hot water will prevent you from being cold at all (your hair may freeze). There's an option to get a massage outside the hot spring entrance. Next morning we had a very complete Japanese breakfast and after checking out we wanted to check out the town but we needed to take the bus. We didn't want to go back to the hotel to pick up our luggage, but the hotel staff told us they would gladly take it to the bus stop by the time we needed to catch the bus. It was truly great service and we couldn't be happier with our stay.

Good location, great staff service

We arrive late in the evening but the staff rushed out to greet us at the entrance. The hotel was old but in a good location. It was snowing which is probably the best part of the stay. Great scenery all around.

Great hotel in the middle of the Daistuitsan....

Love the service and location of this hotel. Good spread and quality of the buffet dinner and breakfast mixture of Japanese and Chinese food (cater for Chinese tourists). Very peaceful and zen,,, with our room overlooking a running stream. They even run a bingo game in the evening for the children, to keep them occupied.

Wir waren 2 Nächte hier und wären auch gern noch länger geblieben. Wir hatten ein herrliches japanisches Zimmer, was sehr gut ausgestattet war. Die Qualität des Essens ist absolut hervorragend, die Köche bereiten alles frisch zu in einer offenen Küche. Besonders toll ist auch das schöne Outdoor-Onsen, das perfekt und entspannend war nach unserer Wanderung.

酒店優待旅行團，滿滿人群霸佔公共空間，餐桌。除了風景吸引，沒有任何理由能讓我想再入住！

酒店免費泊車，但酒店門口沒有工作人員，隨便停泊在門口附近，可能是在山上，所以都沒有人管 酒店旅行團特多，無論甚麼時候經過大堂都很嘈吵 大堂有免費飲品吧、也有少量小食，有各類酒精，梅酒、清酒、洋酒和啤酒。 還有個火爐可讓大家休息取暖和聊天 但日間時間旅行團太多，根本無法找到位子 即使晚飯也是滿滿的人群，到第二天大批旅行團退房，酒店竟容許各旅行團霸佔了大堂各空間沙發擺放他們團友的行李， 即使有了空位，也無法坐下休息！ 對不是參加旅行團的住客造成了極大不便！ 酒店包早餐和晚餐，也是由於滿滿旅行團，沒有提早訂房時預約晚餐時間，只能被安排到晚餐結束前一小時才能進餐廳 由於是自助餐，每個食物都要排隊取餐，1小時用餐時間大都用上在排隊上！ 令人很失望。 但餐點口味不錯，而且有燒牛扒和燒蟹腳。 大浴池有2個，露天溫泉很不錯。 房間舒適，冷氣在冬天沒辦法調，調到5度也是暖氣，幸好窗戶能打開透透氣！

家族6人で利用しました。2度目です。 年末だったため外国人観光客も多くみられましたが、お風呂はそれほど混雑してる様子もなく快適に過ごせました。 部屋も広く大満足。食事も種類も豊富で牛肉ステーキがとても美味しかったです。 スーパードライ込みの飲み放題も2000円しなくて、ビールサーバーがすごい！光って下から注がれるスタイルで美味しい。夫もすごく喜んでいました。 体育館程の大きなアリーナでは、バドミントン や卓球、サッカーなども楽しめ子供達が汗だくで遊んでいました。 ロビー横で白い恋人のソフトクリームもいただけます。無料のコーヒーも美味しかったです。 老舗なので建物の経年劣化は仕方ないとして、お風呂の清掃が少し行き届いてないのは感じましたが、総合的にはとても良い温泉施設です。 値段的にもお安めの方ですし、家族旅行にオススメします！
