It was great! I’m grateful that we were able to go on this trip :-)

It’s an old, well maintained property. You can hear the river outside. It’s very beautiful!

A traditional onsen resort in the cutest little town. We stayed as a group of 6 in 2 rooms. Food was very traditional Japanese and was always set menu. There was so much no one went hungry even if they were picky. The onsens were beautiful with open air sections on to the river.

Amazing Japanese experience, great food beautiful open bath onsen to the sound of the Shima river

Stay for four nights not disappointed at all. It was around January. Everything is Snow White magical atmosphere the hotel is located in a small town. There are nearby restaurants. I took the full course so I had breakfast and dinner every day. The food is amazing Japanese traditional style I took the Japanese style room. It was comfortable and spacious. Really nice view of the river sitting in a cozy room enjoying my green tea was an amazing experience. The open bath was great. There are two open baths and they change around the evening. It is just amazing to sit outside. It's snowing listening to the river water this is why I booked this hotel, it met made my expectation on highly addressed renting a car because of the remote area

Great view from my spacious room onto the waterfall ( l love the noise of the water, but it is not for everyone especially during the night), the onsen was beautiful with night illumination onto the forest, dinner and breakfast was delicious

Amazing stay, great memories :)

The whole place is beautifully made up. Traditional furniture and decoration, presented in a very clean and decent way. The atmosphere is super peaceful and we found the place to be spotless. The dinner and breakfast were Teishoku sets and absolutely delicious and filling, while satisfying all flavours. The outdoor baths where absolutely stunning, right next to the river and with view of the forest behind. The futons where really cozy and comfortable and the Yukatas provided where comfi as well. The Japanese style room is equipped with hot water for tea, two low tables and one with high chairs and while we had dinner staff prepared the futons for us. We will keep this amazing stay in mind for a long time! :)

Amazing staff and peaceful setting

The onsen was amazing and the highlight of our stay. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They really made an effort to accommodate us even though we do not speak Japanese. The river next to the hotel makes it so relaxing and peaceful. The hotel provided instructions for us on how to use the onsen, as it was our first time.

Our stay was enjoyable and very relaxing overall. The sound of the river flowing was wonderful.

I liked the onsen on both levels 2 and 7. They were large, clean, and private. The temperature was excellent and the facilities were sufficient.
