The buffet breakfast and dinner. Spread was good. The room was big.

“Very traditional which we loved”

Onsen fabulous

We arrived at night and woke the next morning to a beautiful view over the river. The hotel is an older style, but the rooms are very large, and the corridors huge. Breakfast and dinner were plentyful. We stayed here to walk one section of the Nakasendo Trail, so the onsen was fantastic at the end of the day.

“Excellent place to stay with great onsen.”

Affordable onsen hotel with beautiful decoration at the front of the hotel . Very helpful and polite staffs. Easy check in and check out process. The room has a beautiful Japanese style room with comfortable futons. While the building seem old, the room and toilet are very maintain and clean and come with all the amenities. The breakfast buffet provided by the hotel is very good. The onsen is very good and it also come with an open air section. Highly recommended.

“Pleasant stay in Achi”

Good buffet dinner

“Traditional Japanese hotel and value for money”

A big traditional Japanese hotel, where mostly Japanese families, elderly and young people enjoy the food and visit the onsen. We felt very welcome and the staff was most helpful. The dinner and breakfast was buffet style and there was an amazing choice of food. Like in so many of these hotels, the interior and furnishings are a little dated. But this did not spoil our stay. Another great experience in Japan.

“Worth to stay”

Food ,staff and price

“A good location onsen hotel in general”

The location and the buffet dinner & breakfast were quite a good spread.

- The staff are very kind and accommodating - The accommodation picked us and even arranged a drop off car, after checking out, to our intended location - My partner had a stomachache and the staff even provided some medicine, free of charge - If you're coming for stargazing (Heavens Sonohara), they have a paid pickup and drop off bus ( 1000 yen per person ) and the accommodation can arrange tickets for you as well [ Though buying online directly from the stargazing website is slightly cheaper ] - The room was spacious - The outdoor bath was decent, nothing special

shuttle service to and from train station Lida There was a great selection of food staff Nishinko Mahashita was very helpful and spoke English reasonably well (not sure of spelling his name )

“Pleasant stay. Transport and tour were arranged perfectly.”

Facilities and they would make arrangements on tour.

“Excellent getaway for the weekend!”

Room was spacious. I loved the onsen as they had different baths for you to try such as the deeper pool so you can stand (120cm), the cypress wood tub or the outside pool open to the sky. There is also a foot bath with multiple pools. If stars are what you came for and do not wish to go on the star night tour, there is an observatory on site, although I don’t know if it’s open for a few. The breakfast buffet was an excellent spread of western and Japanese dishes.

“There is one english speaking staff who helped us! the onsan was large and clean. Nice room settings”

Location is great.
