This hotel is located some fair distance from town . However the surrounding area is woody and pretty . Car park is plentiful and free. Checkin is fast and clear . An onsen tax of 150 is paid on arrival . The rooms are very big and spacious . Beds are very comfortable though only one pillow is provided per bed . The temperature control is only heat - small , medium or big . The rooms are provided with a fan and humidifier . We opened the windows and off the heater and temperature was perfect . Dinner is good with free flow beer , soft drinks and sashimi , beef , SHABU SHABU pork etc . We asked for permission to celebrate a birthday but the request was denied in the dining room or public waiting area . In the end we had to sing happy birthday in the room and the staff was very polite and helpful in providing plates , candle lighter . Breakfast was good with Japanese and western types . Very satisfying . Onsens were good with many pools . Outdoor pool was quite large with two big urns as well for soaking . Overall a good stay for the price though the stay could be made more complete with two bottles of water and waterproof bags/ basket for us to bring towels to the onsen .

“Slept like a baby!”

A good onsen hotel. The hardware is a bit aged but that’s the beauty of it, authentic tatami bedding, fluffy duvet, japnese buffet, onsen, slept like a baby! What a rejuvenating night!

The next day we woke early at 5am for another onsen session, had breakfast and a long stroll at the park right across the hotel. Very very nice!

“Christmas Day”

Onsen is authentic, I enjoyed it, don’t miss it. Room and hotel is old but very cosy; gives a touch of classic Japanese hotel from the 80s. Sound proofing could be improved as my room do have the wind whispering the whole night.

“A bit dated but a solid onsen with unique water”

We stayed in the Japanese style rooms with tatami mats. The comforter and mattress were very comfortable. Food was reasonable although the dining area is a little dated.

We stayed in the Japanese style rooms with tatami mats. The comforter and mattress were very comfortable. Food was reasonable although the dining area is a little dated. There were two round wooden tubs and two small pools in the outdoor Onsen area which I enjoyed a lot. Other indoor "pools" with different temperature available as well. The hot spring water is unique to the area and therefore very "beautifying" for the skin.

“Cool room! But the private onsen wasn't very nice.”

The room was cool, shaped with a real "Japanese" feel with a platform from the foyer area to lead you into the room proper. The toilet is abysmally small so try to use the showers at the onsen areas for a more comfy shower. The tatami room had a rustic feel and they will come to set your futon for … more

The room was cool, shaped with a real "Japanese" feel with a platform from the foyer area to lead you into the room proper. The toilet is abysmally small so try to use the showers at the onsen areas for a more comfy shower. The tatami room had a rustic feel and they will come to set your futon for you when you are out for dinner. The buffet dinner was good with a wide selection and delectable Hokkaido crabs. If you want to have a private hot spring, please head to the counter to ask them for the availability and timings. The private hot springs are small however, and not very welcoming as the water is black and the area around the water/pool had a man-made rock wall that looked dirty. But if you want to feel the "nature" of the hot spring in a private room, this is it. The private room was 1100 Yen per hour for us so it is very affordable comparatively to some other hotels which required three times the amount.
