"This hotel was a splurge for me on my recent trip to Japan and I think it was totally worth it!! I stayed one night on a visit to Izumo Grand Shrine, but I wish I could have stayed much longer. I picked a suite with a gorgeous private outdoor bath and little garden. I loved the public baths as well, there are 2 of them, and 5 first-come-first-served private baths. Free late night ramen and ice cream is so great. The staff members are wonderful!"
