The facilities are very perfect. Ie. shuttle bus from/to hotel to train station and ropeway, varieties of gold and silver onsens in one place are stunning we didn’t have to go other onsens to try both of them. Dinner and breakfast are excellence. Staffs at front and dining room are very professional and great service mind.

The entire experience from the moment you step in until the time you walk out have been top class. The attentiveness and attention to detail by every single staff member have been best in class. It is hard to find any fault with the entire experience and service. The room is spacious, well stocked and sparkling clean. It had to be my best sleep so far. The food was amazing and simply delicious. しょこさん whom served us our meals and took care of our room was very attentive and accommodating to our requests. She is meticulous and very knowledgeable, along with her friendly demeanour made our entire stay extremely pleasant and comfortable.

The ryokan is small, it has only a few rooms, so you can feel private there. The food was beyond great, tasty and the portions were large. The onsen was clean, with a great outdoor pool. Since the hotel is small, you had complete privacy in the onsen. The service was top notch. The ladies took care of us like their own members of the family. I recommend this place.

The outdoor private onsens were amazing. Booking them was easy and there was always availability. It's really not necessary to get the in-room onsen. The yukata and japanese pj's which were provided were also great quality. I now regret not buying some :) There are some great hiking trails and a hilltop shrine near the hotel, which are very quiet and secluded.
