A complete serene get-away. Removed from it all. Booked a suite with a bath and massage chair, also included den area and “dine” area with additional cots for extra visitors. They do close the gate from 10pm-5am, if you’re looking to go out for the night, ensure you’re out until 5am. Otherwise, this is perfect to checkout and decompress. Breakfast was phenomenal and scheduled, you pick your time. There is also a free shuttle to the stations.

This was an extremely peaceful resort that was friendly to a first time Onsen user. The views of Osaka were beautiful, the breakfast was timely and delicious, and there were complimentary drinks including fresh juice and wine. It’s not really a place you will want to walk to, and I do wish the patio was open earlier in the morning and later in the evening as that is where the views are best. Note that I had a “Mountain View” which really was just a view of the woods out back, which was very peaceful and worked with the aesthetic of the room but the city view rooms would definitely be the highlight.

This was beautiful. It made for an amazing relaxing day after traveling from Tokyo. We had a private bath and it was honestly a highlight of our trip. We are both tattooed so it made it nice to have our own space where we could enjoy as the public onsens are not tattoo friendly.

A serene atmosphere with breathtaking views of Osaka from our room. Ofuro was a must to indulge in. The traditional Japanese breakfast was a wonderful surprise. They lock the doors at 10pm so be in before then. There are no walkable places to eat or shop which is a plus when trying to escape that. Arigato gozaimasu!

I was looking for a place that I can stay away from the tourist crowd at the same time convenient to make day trips to see the city Osaka and its attractions. This place has convenient access to public transportation. And the location and facility provides such an amazing view of the city and affinities. The staff is so friendly, amazing food and service!

The views were amazing. A perfect position to watch the sunset and sunrise over Osaka and Mino'o forest. The hospitality of the staff was so kind in a way I've never experienced before, they felt very heartwarming and welcoming. I will definitely cherish the memory for the rest of my life and recommend this place to friends and family.

The hotel is beautifully situated in the hills with the sound of birds and trees all the whole looking out on a panorama of Osaka. The bathing, dining and rooms were all wonderful and you can really relax. It’s close to the hiking in Minoh park where you can see many lovely trees and animals, as well as a shrine and a waterfall.
