I admittedly have high expectations, as I felt justified for $800/night, and was somewhat surprised when I arrived. Rather than the beautiful, tranquil, and zen atmosphere I was hoping for, the atmosphere was just dated and seedy. There was no area to relax, other than our room (where they served our dinner), or a "relaxation room" which was an empty room, with 2 coin operated massage chairs. The lobby was a room with several more coin operated massage chairs, and a long table with benches, like a picnic table. The food was plentiful, and the service was good and friendly, but rather than the delicate and beautiful food I have received at other Onsens in this price range, a couple of the courses were good and fresh, such as the fish and tempura, but the rest seemed to have been cold leftovers from the fridge. The baths and locker rooms had more the feel of an old run-down dormitory than the beautiful, traditional Japanese experience I had hoped for based on other Onsens I had visited. To sum it up, knowing their NO Refund policy, my family and I unanimously opted to throw away the money, and leave early the morning after our first night (we booked 2 nights), as we felt it was better than wasting a precious day of our 10 day vacation. No regrets. ##### Stephen Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 昭和な感じの宿でよかった ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony 17 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A wonderful Experience what an amazing experience.

The futon is not quite comfortable so if you picky with your bed you might struggle falling asleep. It has two onsens: one outdoor and one indoor. Recommend the outdoor one as you get a good breeze from the view while soaking yourself in the hot water. The onsen area is a bit small compared to the other onsen hotel I went to last time. Both onsen are not exclusively to hotel guests, anyone pays for onsen entry fees can access, i.e. the onsen can get really packed in certain time/season. The dinner, which I expected the most, turned out to be an average one. In general, if you looking for a lifetime impressive onsen experience to treat yourselves, you might look for others. ##### DI Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Diese Unterkunft bringt die japanische Kultur und Essgewohnheiten nöher. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 1 May 2019 Liked: Staff & service Accueil respectueux.

C'est un gros budget certes (une nuit équivaut à 3-4 nuits en auberge de jeunesse à Tokyo!), mais nous ne regrettons pas! Le cadre est chouette, nous avons fait la randonnée dans la montagne de Kurama avec la visite des temples et comme récompense le bain dans le onsen extérieur ! Très chouette. Le personnel est au petit soin, la chambre que nous avions était typique avec yukata mis à disposition. Les futons sont de bonnes qualité, nous avons très bien dormi. Chambre un peu bruyante par contre, à cause du bruit d'eau à l'extérieur: sommeil léger prévoir boule quies! Repas traditionnel exceptionnel: beaucoup de plats à base de poisson, y compris le matin ;-) Bains intérieurs/extérieurs quasiment pour nous seuls le soir et le matin ! Beaucoup de touristes l'après-midi. +Sièges massant exceptionnels dans la salle de relaxation (100 Yens)! ##### Emeline Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Au top Un ryokan déjà un peu occidentalisé, mais le caractère japonais est préservé.

A refaire. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very excellent stay, we didn't experience any of the things stated in some negative reviews on expedia. Amenities are new and the place looks so much better than what is shown in the pictures. Only thing that could be improved is that the baths/springa are a bit dated. They still provided an amazing experience, but the look of the onsen wasn't spectacular ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pablo 20 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excelente estancia. En general debo decir que es uno de mis mejores experiencias en Japón. El entorno era hermoso, los baños termales externos eran simplemente soberbios (me tocó nieve y disfrute del agua caliente mientras caía nieve a mi alrededor, hermoso) La amabilidad de la gente del hostal fue muy agradable. El único punto que podría decir que no es tan bueno es que no hablaban mucho inglés (y menos español) lo que hizo un poco difícil la comunicación un par de veces. Finalmente la comida... si quieres comida japonesa típica y comer hasta reventar. Este es tu onsen. Mucha comida en la cena (que estaba incluida además del desayuno). Lo recomiendo 100% ##### Pablo Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beatrice 3 Feb 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ci è piaciuto molto Il soggiorno in questo Onsen ci è piaciuto davvero molto. Il servizio è stato impeccabile, il personale gentilissimo e disponibile e la struttura accogliente. Abbiamo provato la cena privata in camera (deliziosa e interessante) più la colazione nello spazio comune e il bagno nella fonte termale (asciugamani, ciabatte, shampo+balsamo, phon e tutto il necessario viene fornito dalla struttura). In più il viaggio nel trenino per raggiungere il paese è stato davvero la ciliegina sulla torta. Consigliamo tantissimo! ##### Beatrice Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The best experience in kyoto.
