“Accommodation could be better for the cost per night, but dining is excellent!”
Breakfast and dinner was very good with attentive staff none least because being there are only two Villas so very few people staying. They employ very good chefs making for an excellent dining experience. The Villas upstairs lounge was very spacious and comfortable plus the terrace had a fabulous outlook. The natural hot springs open-air Onsen was very good.

“Excellent - I can't complain.”
The meals were fantastic, and the chef was able to accommodate to dietary preferences. The interior design of the villas is fantastic - we absolutely love it! Oh, not forgetting the close proximity to the snow monkey park.

“Wonderful stay at calm, minimalistic villa with superb service and excellent food.”
Serene, minimalistic style villas suitable for families. The in-house onsen on the villa’s terrace is a great bonus, be mindful that 43 degrees Celsius water can feel quite hot, luckily you can add ice cold water. Extremely kind and helpful service overall, Joyce is a gem. Both Japanese style and continental breakfast are good, make sure to share your wishes for what you like to eat. The dinners were awesome, so many great dishes to try out and the freshest imaginable sushi. I warmly recommend a stay here.

“Fabulous stay - highly recommended”
Warm welcome from our hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Great location within walking distance to snow monkey park and local town. Well appointed and spacious villa. Excellent breakfast and dinner, the latter was in the form of a tasting menu so had the opportunity to explore Japanese cuisine that we wouldn't normally opt for. On our second night we had the place to ourselves so it felt very special.

“Excellent and one of the best places we’ve stayed in all our travels!”
Omakase dinners and breakfast were absolutely delicious and exceeded our expectations. Location was very close to snow monkey park. Private onsen was a luxurious experience for us in the property itself.
