Walking around the parks: The paths were clearly marked and well-troddened , so there's less risks of getting lost if you followed the trails. Lots of fungi and we found snake skins around, there must be snakes. We didn't see any during our 4-hr walk. The birds started chirping happily when it started to snow. There was breeze.. it's so quiet you'd hear the rustling of leaves. Our meals: Fine Japanese dining. Each dish was perfectly cooked, the chef was very skilled and meticulous with his dishes. Each meal included a wide array of dishes ranging from appetizers, soups, proteins and starches. Each meal was very filling and satisfying. The service was also top notch with the waiters explaining dishes with limited English. There's a menu for drinks, the meals come with water and ocha. Overall a superb dining experience. The onsen: The renovations were onsite , the male section was closed, we had to rotate , men get certain hours and ladies get some slots. As it was off season when we were there, we managed to book a private session to ourselves- my son and I. There's a large hot pool, a very good sauna- the shower area: shampoo, conditioner and body wash provided for. The usual good onsen practice applies here, wash yourself before entering the pool. Once you dried yourself, in the dressing area, there are seats with hair dryer, body lotion, etc. very pampering. If you're familiar with ryokans this is similar.

Nothing. We want to go again in Spring for sakuras.

I loved the room which was big and comfortable. The room had a newly refurbished toilets and showers which were great. The dinner was also quite nice and so was the onsen with the view. The front desk guy was very welcoming as well.

I didn't really like the blanket cover material - felt very synthetic.

Located high on Mt. Minoyama with stunning views everywhere. Ikoi no Mura Heritage is friendly and very comfortable. After taking hot spring, then to dinner where they serve delicious Japanese meals.

The hotel offers a gorgeous mountain view with autumn color from the room. Onsen has a decent size.

The facility is generally clean except one of the futon and mattress. If the room is slightly more spacious would be good to fit 4 futons as I booked for a family of 4.

The staff are very helpful and efficient

Staffs are helpful. Both Breakfast & Kaiseki dinner are good. Beautiful sunrise view from room.

Complimentary coffee is limited to morning breakfast. Should offer free flow for the whole day. No outdoor hot spring.

It was a great place surrounded by nature. The meals were also cheap and of great quality, so delicious!

I felt like the room is a bit small.

Front desk staff gave professional advice on local attractions.

Facilities is a bit old but clean.
