We stayed here on a trip with three women! The view from the open-air bath was amazing both at night and in the morning, and we were able to relax at a leisurely pace. The meals were delicious and very generous—so much that we couldn’t finish everything. The hospitality was warm and welcoming, and we felt very comfortable. Just one thing: since there were three of us, it would have been nice to have three cups for brushing our teeth.

We had to wait a little at check-in, but it was part of the charm. The view from the room was outstanding—especially the night view. The meals were a satisfying balance of quality and portion size. The bath was great too; it would be perfect if there were also a sauna. With the half-price ropeway offer and free parking included, I highly recommend this place if you’re visiting Mt. Tsukuba!

We stayed here as a family to celebrate the reopening after renovation. In conclusion, it was an excellent value for money and we were very satisfied with our stay. The Facilities seem to have been renovated while making good use of the older features, and there was nothing that felt inconvenient due to age. The toilets have also been renewed and are clean. Amenities are well provided, and futon setup is self-service. There is no bath inside the building, but there is an Onsen Facility across the road on the opposite side. (Guests can use it free of charge.) For dinner, when we first sat down we thought, “Oh, maybe this is a bit small?” but fried dishes, grilled items, and dessert came out later and it ended up being a very generous meal. Rice and soup are self-serve with unlimited refills. Soft drinks are also unlimited at the drink bar—before we knew it, we were completely full. It was quiet at night as well and very comfortable to stay. Thank you very much.

We booked at the last minute due to a sudden change of plans, but we enjoyed our stay far more than expected! Right by the entrance, the lobby had a kids’ play area, board games, and a small complimentary ice cream service—our child was thrilled. Meals were buffet-style, with a wide variety of dishes stylishly presented. We were especially impressed by how many menu items featured ingredients from Ibaraki. Even though we booked on short notice, they handled food allergies very carefully and provided us with a detailed list. Our room was in an unrenovated section, so we noticed a slight musty smell and some humidity. Next time, we would like to book a renovated room. Overall, the staff were very kind, and we had a comfortable stay.
