The food was awesome! It snowed and was so beautiful up in the mountains not to mention we were stuck without snow tires and the staff let us extend our checkout (for a small fee) so we could wait for the roads to clear before heading home.

“Nice accomodation”
I stayed here close to Kuju Ski Resort. Love the dinner and breakfast. Public onsen is free but private onsen is yen 1600 for 50mins . In fact public onsen facilities are better than private onsen.

“Great location and view, but poor cleanliness and service.”
The location was excellent – quiet, scenic, and surrounded by nature. We really enjoyed the view from our room. Breakfast was very good and well-prepared, and dinner was fine as well. Overall, the setting made us feel relaxed.

“Great experience if you are looking to get away from the city, dinner is amazing.”
The absolute highlight of this property was the food and staff! We stayed for 2 nights and had breakfast and dinner each morning and night. Breakfast is standard continental breakfast with a good selection of Japanese dishes, but dinner shined! 1st night we had a 14 course Japanese set dinner, ryokan style, then we had wagyu beef charcoal BBQ on the 2nd night. Amazing quality! The staff are the most responsive I have ever interacted with, they always replied with a couple of hours to anything I asked them. There is are 2 onsite onsens; 1 public that's included as part of your stay, and 1 private that requires booking and an additional charge. The private onsen is suited for families, as the public onsen is divided by gender, as is typical for onsens.

“The landscape aroub the hotel is worth it”
It needs refreshing - older building - it says cottage but it is a big group place - full of chinese tourists - not our style -

“Perfect location for a peaceful holiday surrounded by nature”
Beautiful, peaceful and quiet location just at the bottom of Mount Kuju. The views were just incredible and it was the perfect respite after the city. The location was perfect for us, we were able to explore Mount Kuju, Mount Aso and Takachiho Gorge. Onsens were great. Staff were friendly and welcoming, we can't wait to go back!

“A simple cottage, with amazing view!”
The view from the cottage is amazing - beautiful views of the hills and mountains in the distance. It's worth it to view the sunset during the visit. Lovely and delicious Japanese dinner and breakfast. Friendly staffs and nice onsen (with beautiful outdoor view too).

Unfornately, we have not stayed here as the hotel plan to renovate at that time so they asked us to stay other which they prepared to support. So it made us surprised because we got the perfect place that i have stayed before. Big bedroom, Big dinner course - French Style, and japapnese breakfast, Private onsen and good view.
