I highly recommend this hotel, the staffs are very nice and friendly. The view from my room and its own garden are both terrific. I also love both public and private hot spring options. The breakfast buffet is awesome that you can have both Japanese and western style food. The hotel also offer some activities you can register ahead of time. I hope the hotel can also let the guest to modify or add dinner through their website. Overall I had great experience during my stay!

Quite simply one of, if not the best hotel I have stayed at. Getting there was the only challenging part for me because I took the wrong bus. The hotel does offer a shuttle bus that in retrospect I should have taken advantage of. The staff was incredible and went above and beyond to answer any questions and make my stay comfortable. The views from the lobby and my room were breathtaking. The room and bathroom were very spacious. I wish I stayed longer, but I only stayed one night and did not have enough time to take advantage of all the many hotel amenities. The onsen was fun and the breakfast buffet was incredible. Overall, it was an incredible experience highlighted by the hardworking and welcoming staff.

It took me three me almost three hours from Tokyo and then more than three hours to go to Heneda airport. However, I don't feel sorry for the long travel time. The hotel itself is like a self-sufficient club with a lot of free services such as hot spring bath, various cold tea, warm rice wines, sparkling wines, snacks and even ice cream from vending machine for free. There are also live music in the evenings. I love its footpath facing the green hill slope. I guess there are more to enjoy inside the hotel. I love its buffet dinner. Very nice one. But if you don't have a really big stomach, you call choose other restaurants outside. But inside the restaurant for dinner, you could put on the relaxed traditional 'pyjama' which is allowed inside the hotel. You can dine like this only inside the hotel. The most unexpected finding for me is the Outdoor Open-air Museum near by. Nice walking of 30mins or by bus. A I spent an enjoyable day there. I bring home a lot of happy memory from this three-day stay with my wife.
