"We really liked the staff - they were superb. When we checked in they served sweets and tea to us in our room. A coffee maker in the room would have been good."

"The Onsen/hot mineral baths were terrific and well laid out. The staff was polite and welcoming. With more foreign tourism Japanese hotels need better prepared English speakers; the staff here had no one really fluent in English. This was especially bad in the restaurant.

If this is not to your liking eat...

"The breakfast is truly an amazing value!! Such an abundance of healthy, hearty food for 500 yen. The bath is quite nice! The lobby and lounge areas are super swanky, too! The single-person room was good enough for me! A complementary snack and teabags, with a hot water pot and a pitcher of ice water provided. Very polite and kind staff at checkin, breakfast, and checkout. They also held my luggage for the day after checkout."

"Excellent stay - fantastic breakfast - superb onsen - friendly, helpful staff - I totally recommend it"
