The Japanese style room was so neat. The problem was the hotel is very old, the walls are stained and dirty. There was hair all over the tatami mats, not ours.The fridge had food in it from a past guest. It is an old facility that needs major renovation and more staff to clean it.

Old school, old fashioned (read: dated decor, manual check-outs, actual keys for your room), traditional spa resort. The mixed onsen is great, lots of space and different temperatures so you can easily find your perfect spot. Definitely go half board as the evening buffet is excellent. Highly recommended.

Hotel with Onsen facilities in a quiet town

Our family stayed over for a night at the hotel to visit Daisetsuzan. Hotel is very close to the cable car in small town of Sounkyo. We were there at off-season so it was quiet. Hotel is bit old but its a nice experience to stay in traditional Japanese accommodation. Rooms and tatami mattress were fine and fits in 4 people (albeit bit tight). Onsen was a good experience to have thats built in the hotel that we all enjoyed. Other facilities appears old and breakfast was average. The town was quiet due to off season with plenty shops closed. Can imagine this would be busy during peak period.

The onsens are great.. The buffet was expensive and a little funky. Needs more labor, lots of tables went un-bussed. The carpets are old and a little smelly in the hotel. But, overall a reasonable stay and a decent price.

使用済みシーツが普通に畳まれてセッティングされていて、他のシーツ類もそうではないかと疑心暗鬼になりました。怪しいのもありました。 フロントスタッフはいないし、フロント周りも汚いし、浴衣コーナーもぐちゃぐちゃだし、人が足りなくて回っていないですね。泉質は良かったですが、お客さんのマナーも悪いせいか、洗面台に髪の毛はたくさんあるし、使用済みタオルは散乱しているし、酷いかったです。
