foods are nice. Onsen is a bit small but acceptable as it is in a homestay-like accommodation not a hotel.

It is a great place to stay for your holiday, just a 10-minute drive from the nearby tourist sights. The dinner and breakfast were excellent and very traditional Japanese style. The only concern is that there is no lift in this accommodation, so you will need to move your luggage up.

Although we don’t speak Japanese and the woman at the reception try her best to communicate with us. We also recommended by her to visit nearby light illumination event ( very lucky) that opened in that night. She also tried to explain the environment and scenes nearby and recommended us to visit all. She is a very good tourist ambassador :) The dinner and breakfast are Japanese style and quality are very very good. Onsen is small but good enough for relaxation. We enjoyed the stay very much. If possible don’t drag your luggage on wheels inside as this will leave dirt on the floor.

Great experience

It was a small family run village hotel but with 5 star quality. Room was very clean and food was fabulous. The hot spring was small but adequate. The service was very thought through. The owner prepared Japanese Kimono for my young daughter. All kids menu was carefully designed. We would go back someday.
