初めて利用させて頂きました。四万温泉の1番奥に位置してるとあってとても静かで自然と感じるお宿でした。お部屋はとても広く、室内には貸切風呂もありゆっくりと温泉に浸かる事が出来ました。また貸切風呂は高温サウナと水風呂が最高でした。お料理は懐石料理を頂きましたが旬の食材を上手く調理されておりとても美味しく頂きました。 またスタッフ方のホスピタリティが高く、とても良くして頂きました。 また絶対、伺わせていただきます！

真冬の温泉でしたので、部屋風呂が冷めないように対策していただけていたのですが、景観だけで言うとちょっと残念 大浴場の方は個別に貸切にできて嬉しかったです。ただ、スリッパを別の宿泊客さんがの履き間違えて行ってしまい、お風呂から出た後裸足でフロントまで行くことに…貸切風呂の休憩室にもフロント直通の電話が欲しかったです。

깨끗한 객실은 물론이고 생각보다 더욱 프라이빗하고 조용한 환경에 음식도 정말 맛있었습니다. 정말 좋은 기억 갖고 가요. 도착 며칠전에 내린 눈으로 메인 입구는 차로 들어 갈 수 없었기에 조금 헤매긴 했어요. 표지판을 진입로 부터 몇개만 더 세워준다면, 우회 도로 표시까지 해 줬다면 정말 완벽했을것 같네요.
