Multiple reviewers praised friendly, helpful service and personalised touches (e.g., accommodating kids’ requests, assisting with surprises, providing extra utensils for a delivered cake). Staff often went above and beyond expectations.
Delicious, high-quality meals
Dinner and breakfast received frequent compliments — guests described the food as very tasty, beautifully presented, and a highlight of the stay (including special children’s plates and chef-prepared surprises).
Clean, well‑maintained and atmospheric facilities
Guests consistently noted the property’s cleanliness, calm/relaxing atmosphere, and attractive Japanese-style rooms and interiors, making for a pleasant stay.
Private and communal onsen/bath experience
Private open‑air baths and public onsen were appreciated: reviewers mentioned comfortable temperatures, the ability to adjust water temperature, rooftop footbaths, and easy access to baths in many rooms.
Family- and child-friendly
Several families reported the hotel was very good for children — staff were kind to kids, rooms and meals provided what families needed, and facilities felt safe and convenient for infants and young children.
Negative Reviews
Remote location with few nearby options
Multiple guests noted the hotel is located far from other attractions or restaurants, so if you haven’t booked the hotel meal plan you must go into town to eat and there’s little to do immediately around the property.
Limited on‑site dining options and pricing/availability concerns
Several reviewers said there’s no casual dining unless you prebook the pricier multi-course meals; meal slots (dinner/breakfast) can fill up quickly and drinks during meals were described as expensive, which caused stress for some guests.
Short check‑in window
The check-in period (reported as 3–6pm) was considered too short by guests who found later arrival times inconvenient compared with other properties.
Limited room amenities selection
A few guests mentioned a smaller variety of provided amenities than expected, which they found slightly disappointing.
Occasional maintenance, bath issues and communication gaps
A minority of reviews reported issues such as weak water pressure or cooler large baths, slight mold on wooden parts of an indoor bath, occasional odors in an outdoor bath, and initial difficulty communicating in English until staff assisted further.
