This hotel is an older establishment located right next to a gorgeous public onsen, which you can access via a covered walkway. The onsen experience is quite nice, especially with the hotels' own facilities, though the bathing amenities could be enhanced. The dining options for dinner were just okay, while breakfast was delightful. Overall, the rooms are spacious and clean but could use improvements like blackout curtains and complimentary water.

This hotel has a charming old-world vibe, and I really enjoyed the delicious meals for breakfast and dinner. The Onsen facilities were excellent and a highlight of my stay, although the dirty carpets in the rooms were a downside. The fact that I had to report my late-night outings for security reasons was a bit inconvenient.

The rooms were spacious and clean, but I found the amenities lacking and had some issues with the carpet cleanliness. Overall, it's a great place if you appreciate onsen experiences, but you might need to be prepared for a few quirks.

I had a pleasant stay at this old onsen hotel, which is conveniently located next to a public onsen that you can access via a covered walkway. The breakfast was quite good, and the private onsens had better amenities, although they were smaller and hotter. On the downside, the rooms had some cleanliness issues with dirty carpets, and I was locked out when I went out after midnight without notifying the personnel.

The hotel is an old onsen property with access to a nearby public onsen, which is a nice perk. The rooms are spacious and fairly clean, but could use some updates. Breakfast was quite good, while dinner left something to be desired. I also appreciated the free Wi-Fi, but the lack of water bottles and blackout curtains was a downside, as the early sunrise interrupted my sleep.
