    adjustable mattresses
    noise issues

    The staff provided exceptional hospitality, always polite and willing to assist, which truly enhanced the experience. The Japanese breakfast was delightful and nutritious, featuring local favorites that we enjoyed every morning. However, the room was somewhat basic and could benefit from a few more amenities, and the futons took some getting used to, which might not be everyone's preference. The location was convenient, a short walk from key attractions but could feel a bit noisy at times due to nearby activities.

    light control issue
    air conditioning

    A truly memorable traditional experience!

    I spent 4 nights in a Japanese-Style Standard Twin Room with a private bathroom, and I absolutely loved the warm hospitality from the staff. The location is perfect, just a short walk to key attractions, and the breakfast offered a delightful taste of Japanese cuisine that felt homemade. One little issue was that I couldn't keep the air conditioning on while turning off the lights at night, but it didn’t detract from my overall experience.

    Authentic stay with a touch of comfort

    Our family enjoyed a lovely experience in a traditional setting, soaking in the culture with delicious breakfast options and attentive service. Definitely reserve the private onsen, but ask for a milder temperature! Check out the local area for great dining too.

    delicious breakfast
    peaceful garden
    chilly walk

    I had a wonderful stay and absolutely loved the traditional Japanese breakfast, it was so fresh and delicious! The relaxation areas were perfect for unwinding after a long day, really enjoyed the peaceful garden view and cozy lounge. Just a heads-up, the walk from the station can be a bit chilly in winter, so pack accordingly! 😊
