Beautiful hotel.

Hotel is new & beautiful. Compound is lovely with a garden to walk. Breakfast & dinner offers a good spread with free flow of wine & beer. We stayed for 3 nights, would help if they could change some of the dishes daily. Can get boring eating the same spread over 3 days. Room was compact but comfortable. No bathtub. Will pick a bigger room next time. Location is great. Local bus stop right in front of hotel. Very convenient. Do note that u may not be allowed to board if your luggage is big & bulky. Seek help from the hotel’s free shuttle service instead.

A wonderful 5 star hotel. The lobby area is spacious and the check-in process is organized using kiosks with someone from the hotel to guide. The private Onsen on the 7th floor can be booked using their App which was explained during the check-in process. The buffet was good and had a lot of variety that caters to westerners and locals. Take advantage of the waterpark / Onsen across the street which is offered for guests staying at the hotel. The wristband for the waterpark is given to guests in the lobby area. The waterpark has a lot of pools with different themes (coffee, peach, green tea, and wine). The public Onsen has breath taking views of the mountains and you keep your swimming suit on the whole time which is suitable for families. You must cover your tattoos before accessing the waterpark. The back of the hotel is a nice garden that lights up at night for a lovely night stroll. We stayed for 2 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. We’ll definitely come back again

Relax and indulge after a busy tour of Japan

Loved it, so relaxing. Got the breakfast buffet and the dinner buffet both days - wow, very well fed and worth the price! Enjoyed walking in the garden in the morning and after dark with the lights. A very comfortable women-only onsen experience - I went three times in two days and I also got a nice reflexology massage booked just hours beforehand via a QR code in the room so the flexibility was excellent. Took advantage of free tea and coffee in the lobby around the clock and even grabbed a whisky at the bar one night. You could really check in, get into your robes and sandals, and never leave :) Although I did leave to visit an art museum and to ride the ropeway and the free shuttle from the hotel was super convenient to get me to both places (not so much for getting back though)
