Front desk service and breakfast quality has definitely dropped, as this isn't my first time staying here. Front desk is unfriendly and unwelcoming unlike before. The room cleaning staff is more friendly compared to the front desk. Apart from that, the room is clean and comfortable, onsen is great for revitalising yourself. I'd still recommend it, if you don't mind the unfriendly front desk and...

Some tips: - If you enjoy the mountain, peaceful time and sightseeing, I highly recommend staying for at least 4D/3N here.

When I asked what kind of sashimi I was eating, the waitress actually sighed and said...

Unfortunately our stay here was just ok. Team members are polite but not really warm or chatty. Dinner and breakfast was of mediocre taste. It was fun to walk around the hotel and have dinner in traditional Japanese clothing, but it was all just not wow. Weird smell from the toilet/sink which goes into the room. We did like the beds though and Onsen was nice to experience as well. It’s also great ...
