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。
