Oyado Hanabou

A most pleasant staff. Our 'Western' Room was in fact a complete two room apt., one room in traditional Japanese living room style, the bedroom containing two double beds. A private outdoor spa. Ready access to the public baths. The most beautiful of riverside settings, the river's sound lulling us to sleep. OH, and A plus WI FI to boot.

Overall is good, the location is quiet and peace, but the property is a bit old. The staff is nice and helpful even we are late to check-in the hotel.

We traveled here as a family and loved it. We decided to hire a car which worked out very well otherwise it could be a bit tricky to reach here by public transport. The area was beautiful, very peaceful and natural with forests and a river. The springs were great - we used both the public ones and the one in the room. Both were beautiful with natural outlooks. The food included (dinner and breakfast) were mind-blowing and included many local delicacies - you would pay a lot for anything comparable in a restaurant in a major city. The service was exceptionally caring, friendly and considerate of children. The room was large and traditional using many natural materials (wood, stone, tatami mats) but a little bit aged. While the condition is not new it was inconsequential to us and only added to the authenticity of the experience. Considering everything we found the value to be very good and it was an experience to remember forever.
