Positive: We stayed in a room with the private spa as a bit of a splurge - it was well worth it! A beautiful resort with attentive staff, fantastic dinner experiences and a huge room with traditional seating, but western beds. We came with our seven year old, who adored the yukatas we were all supplied with to wear around the spa. We had a private room for dinner with our own waiter who made a wonderful effort to explain the menu to us and engage our son. A wonderful experience which created lasting memories of a traditional Japanese inn for our little family! Oh, and walked right in without an appointment to a wonderful and relaxing foot/leg massage.

Negative: As others noted, the inn is located a long way from the city centre. However, the shuttle is convenient and works well if you are taking day-trips or venturing into the city during the day, but wanting a chance to truly relax in the evenings. A very minor quibble.

Summary: A beautiful resort for creating lasting memories of Japan

Positive: Got the tatami room which was super spacious and had a fantastic view throughout the day. There were two different indoor and outdoor onsens with a variety of options. The highlight was definitely the panoramic view onsen, enjoying the onsen with a spectacular view. We also had dinner there for two nights with different variety of food and everything was delicious. Breakfast also offered a wide range of food, personal favourite was the omelette.

Negative: The panoramic onsen was shared between male and female so for male it’s only available between morning and early afternoon. So if you have plans during the day then you can only go for that superior onsen in the morning. We saw that they had karaoke but it was a bit expensive.

Summary: Room and onsen with spectacular view

Positive: The property is spectacular, clean with a modern Japanese decor. We were a family of four and the room we had was spacious with a beautiful view of the snow topped mountains. The staff were exceptional in all respects. The Onsen’s were clean and relaxing. The breakfast was a buffet and had great variety. A fantastic experience.

Negative: There is nothing really negative to say about this property. But if I were to mention something, I would say the location is slightly out of town and there are no conveniences close by. However, the staff will order a taxi for you no problem, and all the taxis we used arrived in less than 10min. Each trip costs between ¥2000-2600 depending on the time of day. It’s only a 10 min trip to the centre of town. The set menu dinner is quite large and very traditional. We made the mistake of eating lunch and couldn’t finish the dinner as a result. The food is however beautiful.

Summary: A superb Japanese experience in a wonderful location. Exceptional staff and service. A truly memorable stay.
