Wonderful

Loved it, so relaxing. Got the breakfast buffet and the dinner buffet both days - wow, very well fed and worth the price! Enjoyed walking in the garden in the morning and after dark with the lights. A very comfortable women-only onsen experience - I went three times in two days and I also got a nice reflexology massage booked just hours beforehand via a QR code in the room so the flexibility was excellent. Took advantage of free tea and coffee in the lobby around the clock and even grabbed a whisky at the bar one night. You could really check in, get into your robes and sandals, and never leave :)
Although I did leave to visit an art museum and to ride the ropeway and the free shuttle from the hotel was super convenient to get me to both places (not so much for getting back though)
This hotel was the highlight of the 4 hotels that we stayed in during our two week visit. We had a very large room (double twin) that allowed us to open up our suitcases. Room was clean, smelled fresh, had a beautiful view of the stream and maple trees changing colors. They provided yukatas and slippers to wear around the property, which most other people wore to breakfast and dinner. The property was recently renovated a few years ago and is very nice. The breakfast and dinner buffet was insane. I think we got our monies worth on just the sushi, waygu beef and alcohol (all you can eat and drink!) There is something for everyone in you party. The room was quiet until someone would be talking (usually the rude ones from vachina) while walking the hallway. We booked a private onsen one night and that was magical for our tired bodies. The only way to get around the area is by bus, unless you have a car or package tour. The bus was very crowded (PACKED!) round 10:00 when we went to Lake Ashi/Odawara. It was very cold and rainy (mid November) so pack a heavy jacket. We did laundry again at this hotel (do 'smaller than what you think' loads or it won't dry). There is a indoor pool across the street as well as a Family Mart. Not much else in the area. I would definitely recommend this property.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
Perfect exept the buffet
Everything was perfect except for the organization of the buffet. The architect made a big mistake there. The aisle between the buffets is far too narrow. Hardly two people can cross each other. This is why there were various incidents. During our four-day stay, at least five things fell to the floor because the guests were bumping into each other. For us, this was an imposition. It's a shame, otherwise everything would have been perfect.
Very pretty and organic style hotel on beautiful grounds with wandering paths, koi pond and running brook. The staff was professional. The onsen was clean and the outside baths made for watching the sunset a real treat. Highly recommended! We will be back!

Great and very new facility; excellent staffs there.
Couldn’t find our reservation and when they finally did, didn’t fix the issue properly so was an ongoing issue.
The door to the room wasn’t sealed properly so let air through and made a whistling noise.
2 family marts nearby
Short walk 5min to Yunnesun
Short walk 3 min to bus stop
Firefly garden at night
Light pollution is slightly lower so star gazing (but no milky way)
Toilet and showers are separated (no bathtub but there's public onsen available)
One pillow each single bed
Extra water chargeable
Additional bath tax at 150yen each
They provide everything a traveler could need including lounging pajamas and slippers. The buffets were great! Also appreciated the shuttle bus to nearby sites.
