Really beautiful location, superb onsen baths. The staff made an effort to communicate with me in English despite them not being fluent. I really appreciate that because I can't speak Japanese. The hotel is quite 'traditional' Japanese style, which might put some travellers off, but I liked it. Amount of amenities, in the way of vending machines, microwaves and that type of thing are brilliant too. Gift shop looked good too, but I didn't really go in for long.

“The loveliest experience from a very traditional Japanese perspective with all the comfort and luxury anyone could expec”
A beautiful calm setting that was perfect for the end of the day off the Shikoku 88 Trail. The onsen is a brilliant facility. Clean and inviting.

“Interesting experience, nice Onsen!”
The hotel is huge, but still a great experience. The Onsen area is huge, unfortunately the steam bath is available one day for women and one for men so if you’re staying only 1 night you might non experience it. The buffet breakfast is highly recommended, you can find all sorts of foods.

Stayed here for just one night. It was a great location, an easy walk to the temple, restaurants and shops. The buffet breakfast was great! Its an old hotel but all the rooms had been upgraded.

Everything was nice. The dinners were excellent. The breakfast buffet was a good one but I would prefer to not have a buffet and just have a meal in a private room like at dinner. The staff were all very helpful and kind. Rooms were nice and clean but pretty average.

The food was sublime - 9 to 12 small plates for each meal. The staff was very kind and helpful. The rock onsen on the roof was lovely with a view on the mountains.
