Medium standard
Room is quite clean but it has some adour. The room is also old. The food is quite poor quality. The only thing that I am feel good is open air public bath. The view and decoration is fantastic.

Nice traditional ryoukan with excellent included m
Good traditional ryoukan type of setting. The included dinner and breakfast buffets were great and with good variety. Our room was very spacious for 4 of us. The outside hot tub was great. It's too bad that the hiking trails were covered by heavy snow and we weren't able to walk outside but, of course, the hotel has nothing to do with it.

Nice hotel excellent hot springs in winter time
The staff at the hotel were always very nice to us. From the moment we arrived to the hotel, they greeted us with a smile and walked us to our room. They explained the hours for dinner and breakfast and hot springs. After that, we went to have dinner. Dinner is really good if you're into Japanese food, there are few Western options but you're probably in Japan to enjoy the Japanese culture. When we got back to our room, our futons were already laid on the tatami. We went to enjoy the hot springs, they have both indoor and outdoor. The outdoor experience was interesting since outside the temperature was -14 C (about 7 F), but the hot water will prevent you from being cold at all (your hair may freeze). There's an option to get a massage outside the hot spring entrance. Next morning we had a very complete Japanese breakfast and after checking out we wanted to check out the town but we needed to take the bus. We didn't want to go back to the hotel to pick up our luggage, but the hotel staff told us they would gladly take it to the bus stop by the time we needed to catch the bus. It was truly great service and we couldn't be happier with our stay.

Good location, great staff service
We arrive late in the evening but the staff rushed out to greet us at the entrance. The hotel was old but in a good location. It was snowing which is probably the best part of the stay. Great scenery all around.

Great hotel in the middle of the Daistuitsan....
Love the service and location of this hotel. Good spread and quality of the buffet dinner and breakfast mixture of Japanese and Chinese food (cater for Chinese tourists). Very peaceful and zen,,, with our room overlooking a running stream. They even run a bingo game in the evening for the children, to keep them occupied.

家族6人で利用しました。2度目です。 年末だったため外国人観光客も多くみられましたが、お風呂はそれほど混雑してる様子もなく快適に過ごせました。 部屋も広く大満足。食事も種類も豊富で牛肉ステーキがとても美味しかったです。 スーパードライ込みの飲み放題も2000円しなくて、ビールサーバーがすごい!光って下から注がれるスタイルで美味しい。夫もすごく喜んでいました。 体育館程の大きなアリーナでは、バドミントン や卓球、サッカーなども楽しめ子供達が汗だくで遊んでいました。 ロビー横で白い恋人のソフトクリームもいただけます。無料のコーヒーも美味しかったです。 老舗なので建物の経年劣化は仕方ないとして、お風呂の清掃が少し行き届いてないのは感じましたが、総合的にはとても良い温泉施設です。 値段的にもお安めの方ですし、家族旅行にオススメします!
