Staff was spectacular! Our private onsen was fantastic and the room was fine, it actually has softer beds which is a huge difference from other hotels in Japan from my experience. Kaiseki dinner was great, getting greeted with a cup of Yuzu Tea while we wait for check in was also great. I only have one request if you are reading this: be exceptionally nice to the staff. We watched the ladies checking people in get mocked for how they walked in their traditional dress, even though they were going above and beyond to make sure the people staying there were receiving great service. I genuinely felt terrible for them. We will be back one day!

Great dinner and fabulous breakfast. Note no tattoos allowed in the public onsen . ##### yuliya Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Antung 25 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was our first time staying in an onsen hotel. The property is loaded with amenities: an on-site hot and cold water onsen, a lounge with 24 hours of free drinks, a happy hour with wine included. Our room was gorgeous, with tatami mat floors and comfortable beds they set up. We had a glass wall shower and views of Lake Biwaka. My only criticism is that some of the furnishings seem a bit dated. But everything else was spectacular. ##### Antung Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort the staff were so professional and friendly to our group (from another country).

Best hospitality we have ever received. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Many great perks including a yukata to wear around, happy hour free drinks and a wonderful garden out back with an amazing view of the water. Kaiseki dinner was fantastic (lots of seafood) and a wonderful breakfast buffet. Room was amazing and the private onsen was very relaxing. Included complimentary shuttle service to the train station after check out in the morning. Would highly recommend staying here. 10/10. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bb0b0ce1-e36b-4674-97e5-9a4af6f14d35-1748847830008.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/61b775da-cf87-49e3-9f9a-9e6f1b13599b-1748847829459.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f4cb2e34-e2c6-4943-92c3-e1c2071bda56-1748847828180.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/eed686ea-e41d-4f3c-9138-c5b446740a87-1748847829230.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sean Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tenpyo Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nara-Hotels-Tenpyo-Ryokan.h14844103.Hotel-Information) > > [Fuji View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Fuji-View-Hotel.h2333483.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Paris](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels.d179898.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Kasuitei Ohya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Kasuitei-Ohya.h13002262.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard By Marriott Kyoto Shijo Karasuma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kyoto-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Kyoto-Shijo-Karasuma.h20518950.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Palmanova](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palmanova-Calvia-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-n6050487-0-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Val-d'Isere](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Val-DIsere-Hotels.d10259.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [HOSHINOYA Okinawa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Okinawa-Hotels-HOSHINOYA-Okinawa.h40226148.Hotel-Information) > > [Hoshino Resorts KAI Nikko](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nikko-Hotels-Hoshino-Resorts-KAI-Nikko.h17903043.Hotel-Information) > > [Suimeikan Karukaya Sanso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Takayama-Hotels-Suimeikan-Karukaya-Sanso.h16258706.Hotel-Information) > > [Highland Resort Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Highland-Resort-Hotel-Spa.h990130.Hotel-Information) > > [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Pattaya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pattaya-Hotels.d9514.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Desa Potato Head Bali](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seminyak-Hotels-Potato-Head-Studios-At-Desa-Potato-Head.h45470300.Hotel-Information) > > [Fujisan Onsen Hotel Kaneyamaen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fujiyoshida-Hotels-Fujisan-Onsen-Hotel-Kaneyamaen.h14626290.Hotel-Information) > > [Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hayakawa-Hotels-Nishiyama-Onsen-Keiunkan.h37148164.Hotel-Information) > > [Konansou](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fujikawaguchiko-Hotels-Konansou.h9145049.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Fukinomori](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nagiso-Hotels-Hotel-Fukinomori.h34515912.Hotel-Information) > > [Furaveri Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Furaveri-Hotels-Furaveri-Maldives-Stay-4-Nights-Or-MORE-From-01-May-To-31-Oct-2025.h12809109.Hotel-Information) > > [Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tokyo-Hotels-Tokyo-Disney-Celebration-Hotel.h21163232.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Providenciales (PLS) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/pls/yyz/providenciales-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Bogotá (BOG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/bog/manchester-to-bogota) ### Cars ### Activities ### General > [Visit Maidstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone.dx5634)
