Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Amazing nature, very delicious dinners (we stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed 2 different dinner menus). Very friendly staff. Also loved onsen (hot springs bath) experience!

Negative: Staff was not speaking English, but we managed nicely, as everyone was super support-oriented. Some parts of the hotel are a bit “amortised”, but you absolutely don’t remark those once you get into the nature, onsen experiences and Japanese tastes! Strongly recommend for staying

Summary: Excellent escape to nature and Japanese tastes!

Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The hotel was fantastic, with a beautiful and relaxing and quiet environment, overlooking the river and the mountains. They offered tea and coffee during the day at the main reception. The dinner was an amazing experience and having stayed for two nights, there was no repetition of the food, and just the exquisite taste and atmosphere. It snowed while I was there, and bathing together with the falling snow just added to the magic feeling.

Negative: The exhibition area is being affected by humidity, and it is a pity that some of the artefacts are becoming corroded. It would be a pity to loose this precious memoirs.

Summary: Amazing relaxing and peaceful stay.
