“A traditional ryokan with modern upgrades, the staff is the real star of the stay.”
The professionalism and service from the staff especially those manning the reception. The quality of the food. The cleanliness of the room. The onsen in the room.

“a peaceful and calming place”
While soaking in the hot spring, we could enjoy the view of the sea at the same time. The room was spacious, and we really had a relaxing vacation here.

“Expected a bit better for this price range”
Highlight of the room was the semi-open air onsen bath and very friendly hotel staff. Liked also the interior design of the japanese-style room. However, compared with other onsen resorts I stayed in with similar price range, this wasn't the best one (e.g. old equipment in the room, limited food options, old coffee machine). It's also not conveniently located for tourists travelling by train, as there's only 1 train per hour.

“Big room and delicious meals.”
The room face the sea so the view is good. The Japanese dinner and breakfast are delicious too. I am glad that the room has a shower room although there is onsen at the top floor.

“Heaven on earth with amazing staff”
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable experience. Everything about the hotel itself was amazing—clean rooms, great amenities, and a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. A special thanks to the housekeeping staff, whose warm smiles and genuine hospitality made our stay even more pleasant. Their attention to detail and kindness truly stood out and left a lasting impression on our family. Our son experienced true kindness and respect during our stay, which we deeply appreciate. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations, and we wholeheartedly recommend it for its outstanding service and exceptional hospitality!

Greeted by a lovely gentleman, there was a language barrier, but the gentleman was extraordinarily kind, helpful, and couldn't have been more patient with us. The room was a lovely size, and comfortable.

“A quaint hotel in a small town, value for money and friendliest hotel staff”
The onsen hotel is spacious and all the staff are so readily to assist and answer any queries that I had. Room is spacious and clean. the outdoor onsen is a gem, so relaxing and well landscaped. Our omakase meals tasted great and different dishes for the 2 nights that we stayed. One of the staff even recognized us when we were walking to the train station after our sandbath at Saraku and picked us up to drive us back to the hotel. We really appreciate that and save us the 30mins journey back hotel on my own.
