    It was a little bit challenging to communicate in English.

    Great private onsen experience! We also really liked the japanese-style room with all amenities included.

    We would have liked a better understanding of of the meals ie individual courses and how they should be eaten.

    Staying in somewhere that gave us a flavour traditional Japan.

    Nothing at the top of my mind.

    My friends and I road-tripped through a lot of Japan, and we had almost a week of Onsens. The Onsen here was the best. The dinning experience was also so fantastic. This was our favorite dinning experience we had. Not to say the food was the best we'd eaten, it was good, but the experience was what made it. Our hostess treated us very well and at times I almost felt bad to be served by an older lady, but I think that was perhaps cultural difference.

    This place looks like heaven, the food was delicious, the view from our room was perfect. And I can’t even describe how good the onsen felt. Our mistake was to only stay one day, definitely have to come back another time.

    Beautifully located in the middle of nature, hiking very easy from here. The rooms are spacious, traditional Japanese and very quiet. The onsen facility is huge! So many different baths to try, and a part where male and female is mixed (clothes provided at the entrance).

    There wasn't anything negative. We enjoyed our stay a lot.

    The hotel is in a nice valley, all rooms have a balcony, the Japanese style rooms are nice and comfortable. All the staff were very nice and helpful. We had half board, dinner and breakfast were excellent. The waitress at the dinner didn't speak English, but she was very nice and tried to explain everything with the help of a translator. The biggest advantage of the hotel is the onsen, an amazing experience, outdoor and indoor part.

    I wished the hotel staff informed us on the use of the yukata (Japanese clothes)when we arrived.

    The facilities were very good and clean. Their onsen pools are excellent. We used them at night and early in the morning and have different wonderful experiences. The surroundings are very scenic. Waterfalls and snow-covered roof tops. The meals are very good and the waitresses are very attentive to our requests.

    There is no washing room in the private onsen (which is located at the parking, 100m away from the main building).

    Excellent public onsen, especially the outdoor one!! Fabulous private onsen when snowing! Better-than-average dinner and breakfast. Spacious room with nice view.

    The hotel installations in general are old, specially the room, but they work ok

    Very nice hotel , with the best Onsen I visited during my trip in Japan. Great experience for traditional japanesse breakfast and dinner, both were very tasty. We stayed 2 night, and they gave us different menus each day. And the onsen is amazing, many different hot bathtabs options with hot water with minerals. And there is even a an outdoor onsen where both men and women can be together (both covering with a tower in this area)

    The baths are exceptional, there is also a large mixed bath. The staff is very professional, helpful and kind, the ladies at the meal services so nice and fun. English is spoken at the front desk and by staff of different countries. Everyone does their best so we have a great stay. One employee even took us to the morning market by car. The food was excellent, we ate in private rooms. The very convenient bus stop to TAKAYAMA. The area around the hotel is very beautiful The hotel is clean , comfortable, everything works well like wifi etc… We would definitely come back if in the area.

    Nothing at all.

    1. Definitely value for money. Although the price isn't cheap, the nice onsen, immensely elaborate dinner and breakfast, and the wonderful room more than made up for the price. 2. It was in a beautiful location overlooking a river with hills nearby. 3. The bus from Takayama stops directly in front of the hotel. 4. I could visit the onsen as many times as I liked, and it was very enjoyable. They had both indoor and outdoor onsens. 5. The dinner was a literal feast, and the breakfast was a mini feast. The food exceeded all my expectations. 6. The room was very large by Japanese standards. 7. The view from the balcony was breathtakingly beautiful. 8. The futon bed was comfortable.

    Personally, I found it uncomfortable to sleep on the floor on a thin mattress that wasn’t quite comfortable enough.

    The hotel is located in an amazing spot, right in the middle of the wild nature. The onsen is exceptional, with many different types of pools, including a shared pool for men and women that is situated outside in the nature.

    Wow. If you're looking for the quintessential Japanese ryokan experience, look no further. This place was amazing, the beautiful Japanese tatami room, helpful and friendly staff, delicious food and excellent onsen baths, that allow for mixed gender bathing wearing a special towel. Located in a rather secluded valley next to a river is great plus.

    Plastic mats in the onsen were degrading, which was a little gross, but on the whole, the hotsprings were great. The smell of the tatami mats was strong, indicating that they are quite old. I don't mind the smell personally, but it might bother some people.

    The hotel is a little run down, but the area is absolutely stunning. The onsen is extensive and extremely relaxing. The staff were friendly and accommodating.
