This hotel is perfectly located in a peaceful place. If you travel by public transport, hahahaa be prepared to walk a lot. No restaurant or other sources of food is nearby. We book this hotel thinking the Onsen experence would be good, but nope it was very old place, not as clean we thought too. the rooms were very old. You really need to rent a car if u need to stay here and go around places. if the weather is bad the public transport will be stopped and we feel it like a ghost town after 5 or 6 pm. It will be good for locals as they drive and the restaurants only service tradition Japanese food. not then best place for foreign travelers. After all your stay, be waiting for a surprise for a bill on the usage of Onsen 300 yen per head. I don't know why I was asked to pay, as I got the key they said all is free. when asked for explanation hahaaa.. good if u can understand Japanese. Anyway, I will have to write to hotels.com to see about this matter.
