The facility has a vintage charm, and the bath exudes a sense of history with impressive views from the open-air bath. The staff are friendly, making for a comfortable stay.

Since I was staying with my child and we don’t eat large portions, we chose a restaurant where we could order dinner à la carte. The food was excellent, and we were truly impressed. The sashimi in particular was beautifully presented and delicious. The footbath was next to the smoking area, so the smell bothered us a bit, but everything else was great. The Accommodation staff, the baths, and the meals were all wonderful, and we would definitely like to stay again.

We enjoyed a lot at the Hotel, playing mini-golf and swimming in the pool. If we had more time, it seemed fun to take the lift to enjoy the scenery and go hiking. I thought it was a good Hotel to stay with children and spend time leisurely. The bath was also nice, and the buffet restaurant was delicious and good.

The area is surrounded by a few houses and lots of trees, creating a very relaxing space where you can forget about your daily life. Highly recommended for those who want to spend time leisurely in nature. The kitchen utensils are sufficiently equipped, so you won't have trouble cooking. The hand soap provided was from diptyque, allowing us to enjoy its fragrance. As for the sauna and Onsen, we were extremely satisfied. Turning off the lights revealed a starry sky, which was truly moving. Since there were no fences, you could sit comfortably, and the nearby trees allowed us to feel close to nature. The disappointing aspects were the limited cooking ingredients, the towels having a damp smell, which was slightly unpleasant, and the showerhead being broken, making it difficult to use. It would be better if the amenities were more well-prepared. Nonetheless, I would love to visit again! Regarding the price, it was a bit disappointing that despite making an early Reservation, there was a last-minute discount on the official website, making it about 5,000 yen cheaper.

We stayed here to celebrate our dog’s birthday. 2 adults and 2 dogs. The Room was very nice, and we were able to enjoy the Onsen comfortably. However, dinner was shabu-shabu with high-quality international beef and it was delicious, but there was only one plate of sashimi. Even though the Room and Onsen were wonderful, we felt a bit disappointed with the meals. I think one plate of meat is fine, but it would be better if condiments and sashimi were prepared individually for each person. Breakfast was supposed to be delivered in a box, but there were no details about the explanation or where it would be placed, so we ended up searching all over the Room and the food got cold. Also, we felt the seasoning was a little strong. It was nice to relax with minimal staff interaction, but we also felt there was too much self-service for what you pay. At least for meals, it would be better if they could deliver them and set them up for us. We’re not sure about staying again next time. We were very satisfied with the Room and Onsen. We think this Accommodation is great for larger groups of friends who want to have fun together.

The Japanese-style room was relaxing and pleasant.

The owner of the Accommodation seems deeply devoted to the Onsen and handed me an Onsen analysis sheet at the front desk—something I’d never experienced before. The main rock bath had a wonderful atmosphere and there were three tubs, but all of them were too hot for me to soak in. I barely managed to get into the deep bath at the front for about 10 seconds a few times. I understand the desire for guests to enjoy the free-flowing natural hot spring water, but it was a bit intense for me. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the smaller gourd-shaped bath and went in three times. The meals were modest but more than enough, and especially the soba was delicious. The toilet in my Room was modern and comfortable. The building is very spacious and must be difficult to maintain, but I hope they will continue doing well for many years to come.

Thank you for your hospitality. Upon entering, the colors and decorations created a mysterious atmosphere! All the staff were courteous and kind, creating a warm ambiance. Thank you very much!

We enjoyed the stylish interior, elaborate dishes and tableware with a focus on broth, and the wonderful milky white Onsen. The only downside was that the phone was difficult to connect, and even when it did, it was automatically transferred to another Ryokan, so it was hard to get the information needed, and we had to hang up and wait for a callback. The website mentioned that there was a Shuttle Service to the nearest bus stop, but we were not provided with it and had to walk for 30 minutes. I understand that not having a TV in the Room might be a particular choice, but I still would like to have a TV. During the extreme Onsen tour, we were able to experience a wild and natural Onsen that is difficult to visit individually.

I visited here as a child, and the exterior hasn’t changed. It’s an old building, but the inside is very well cleaned and everything was spotless—especially the wooden hallways, which were shiny everywhere. The Onsen baths—the semi-open-air cave-style bath and the family bath with plenty of yunohana—were very hot, and I personally couldn’t get in without adding cold water. The large public bath was just slightly on the hot side. The meals were reasonably tasty—a typical mountain Ryokan menu with a bit more wild vegetables than usual. The grilled fish with soba miso in the photo was especially delicious. Because of the antenna, TV reception wasn’t good, so I’d really like this to be fixed. I heard this Ryokan has been operating for over 400 years, and I hope it continues for many years to come.

The building is undeniably old, but it was clean and well maintained. The staff were also very helpful. If the breakfast buffet had offered a few more options, it would have been perfect!

Excellent access to the Shiga-Kusatsu Road. The Room was spacious and relaxing. The Onsen was very pleasant. The staff were kind and made us feel at ease.
