We stayed here a few years ago, and returned again because my husband said he “definitely wants to come back.” The welcome sweets—warabi mochi—were so delicious that we bought some as souvenirs. The tatami flooring in the corridors and even inside the elevator was very comfortable, and the open-air bath felt like soaking right in a Japanese garden. Dinner was excellent; we asked for a smaller portion, but it was more than enough. The Room was spacious, and the sunlit table by the window being a sunken kotatsu made it especially relaxing. Many Accommodations ask guests to bring towels from their Room to the public bath, so being able to go empty-handed felt wonderful. Breakfast was also very tasty. We had planned to leave at a leisurely pace, but there were thunderstorms and heavy rain from midnight onward, and we ended up driving for two hours through an intense rain band on our way home. Afterward we saw news about flooding, and we’re worried whether there was any damage to the Hotel or surrounding area. We’re already talking about coming again during apple season. Thank you very much—everything was truly delicious.

From 3 PM, we enjoyed a relaxing time at the lounge with alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and snacks. Dinner included free drinks, and the buffet offered a variety of dishes that were satisfying. We could also enjoy alcoholic beverages and soft drinks at the lounge until 11 PM.

The Japanese-Western style room was spacious and perfect for relaxing as a family. The buffet menu changed slightly each night, and the local vegetables were especially delicious, making every meal both tasty and enjoyable. Lunch was an additional charge, but we appreciated it as well. The pool isn’t very large, but there were plenty of inflatable rings and kickboards, and locker keys and swim caps were lent to guests free of charge. It was open for long hours (7:00–21:00), which was great—we went to the pool whenever we had some free time as a family. Perhaps because swim caps are required, there wasn’t any hair floating around, and it felt very clean. There was also more than enough to do—Mölkky on the lawn, sledding, exploring the observation deck via the lift—and our child looked so happy. Table tennis was fun too! We enjoyed the Dinosaur Museum, Eiheiji Temple, and Tojinbo as well, but the Hotel itself was excellent. We’d love to visit again as a family. If I had one request: our child always sends postcards to grandparents while traveling, so it would be nice if the shop had more Fukui postcards available and if stamps could be purchased at the front desk.

We stayed here for a family trip. We made a Reservation for two Rooms for four people, and they kindly arranged adjacent Rooms for us. The large public bath was very pleasant, and we were fully satisfied with our meal at the on-site HAKKO. Since we stayed here to leave early in the morning for Kamikochi, we couldn’t have breakfast. It would have been nice to have a Plan without breakfast or a light meal option for early departures. Thank you very much.

I stayed here with my sister and her husband while it was snowing heavily. The Accommodation has both a first and second floor, making it a Room layout I had never experienced before. The in-Room bath had plenty of hot water flowing continuously, which was perfect for a morning soak. The meals were also very delicious.
