This hotel is beautiful. It was almost unbelievable how nice it is for the price you pay. This was my partner’s and my first time in Japan and this was a wonderful place to spend a few days during our trip. We have nothing else to compare the onsen to since this was our first time at one, but it had breathtaking views and was relaxing and clean. If you are new to onsen like we are, the hotel makes it easy for newcomers with a helpful infographic that they hand out to you about public bath manners. We used the onsen twice a day because we loved it so much and will miss the it when we go back to the USA. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful.
At first we did not think we could access the hotel by public transportation other than the hotel’s own shuttle bus, but if you use the navigation app Japan Travel, the local public bus’s routes which have two stops near the hotel will show up for some addition travel options into the city (for some reason Google Maps and Apple Maps did not have this bus’s routes show up for us). You can use a taxi to get to and from here of course, but it is much more expensive.
Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone to stay at if you want a hotel with an onsen with a beautiful view.
