Excellent experience!! The staff were extremely helpful and nice. The facilities were also fantastic. We had the best onsen experience in our life. Thought the meal was soso, me and my friends would definitely recommend people to stay there and would come back again in no doubt!
We visited this hotel with our three kids this summer. The hotel and the experience was an incredible, authentic part of our trip to Japan. The owners and staff of the hotel were amazing! The outdoor Onsen bath was under construction and was not open during our stay, but the hosts kindly let us use a small outdoor family bath. The indoor baths were incredible! The dining was a great experience and was super authentic. Maybe a little bit too authentic for our kids! The only breakfast option was a traditional Japanese breakfast which did not go over very with our our kids. However, the food was excellent and you can see why the Japanese are in such incredible shape!
Staying here was an incredible experience. Naomi-san and her staff were extremely welcoming and took great care of us the whole time. For example, when we couldnt find the nearby foot bath, Naomi-san personally walked us there and showed us what to do. She might say she doesn't speak English but she actually speaks it well and it's easy to communicate.
The rooms were lovely. We did a traditional Japanese style room and it exceeded our expectations in every way. Even sleeping on the futons was very comfortable despite us being used to Western style beds. From our room we had great views of the surrounding mountains.
The onsen was well maintained and it was serene to sit outside in the bath while it snowed. There are indoor and outdoor baths for men, women, and private families. It was our first experience at an onsen and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
The food was also beyond expectations. Each meal we left completely satisfied, having tried about a dozen different dishes including grilled fish, soup, pickled vegetables, sashimi, and more.
Definitely one of the most memorable nights of our trip to Japan. If I find myself in Japan again one day, I will definitely stay here again.
Nous avons d'abord fait une réservation pour 2adults pour demi pension, par erreur,quand on avait reçu la confirmation, on a vu tout de suite qu'il manquait notre enfant de 4 ans, on a effectué tout de suite la modification en ajoutant 1 enfants de 4 ans pour la réservation, en ajoutant environ 35 euros, seul choix proposé par app. hôtels. On avait pensé que ce soit la même conditions que notre réservation pour les adultes. Mais quand on est arrivé, on est informé qu'il y aurait pas de repas du soir ni petit déjeuner, ni le baignoire japonais pour le source chaud pour l'enfant. Il faut payer supplémentaire : menu d'enfants environ 37 Euro, et 5 EUR pour location de kinomo. Nous aurions préféré que l'information soit plus clair lors de la réservation, parceque le prix final n'est plus intéressant finalement par rapport la proposition sur les autres sites, par exemple jalan, booking etc. Meme pour les autres logements similaires... donc faire attention si vous voyager en famille. Essayer de réserver sur le site japonais ou le site de l'hôtel directement. A part ça, tout va très bien, le source chaud et parfait, on a passé un super séjour là bas.
We love this hotel very much and stayed for 2 nights for Christmas. Very nice hotel with wonderful services, hot spring and food. I like the design and decoration of this hotel a lot. The hotel owners served us with heart, appreciated with thanks! Highly recommend this hotel to everyone.
Tuve problemas con el alquiler de coche en Nagoya. Debido a las recientes lluvias habia tramos de linea de tren cortadas a Takajama y los billetes de autobuses estaban todos vendidos. Pese a mandar varios emails al hotel ni si quiere me contestaron! De haberme avisado hubiera podido llegar cambiando la ruta. Fue imposible llegar, perdi la reserva con el 100% del cargo y no se molestaron en contestar un solo email.
