This once grand hotel is now a little tired but still a great place to stay. We had a family room Japanese style overlooking the lake. The bath house inside was well equipped and large, but looked very pink like a 1970's hairdressers. The outside bath on the roof, only open during the hours when the inside bath was closed, was more basic but fun to be outdoors watching the birds on the thermals above us. They still have local dancers to entertain guests each evening. It was an opportunity to see some cultural activities that were specific to Sado Island. The breakfast was in a small dining room overlooking the lake. I think the bus tour guests ate in a larger dining room as there were only a few people in ours. The food was local and excellent, and each dish was explained to us by staff. It varied each day.

The hotel simply needed a refresh. The outside showed just how the climate affects buildings here. Otherwise we knew what we were getting, so shabby chic was fine.

Staffs were all very nice, clean facility, our room had enough space and comfortable, on the water, Onsen was really nice, etc

Night life around this area.. was kinda depressing area, not many restaurants/Izakaya were opened, although food store we found was around the corner. Took quite a time to go visit the Sado gold mine.

Spacious and clean rooms

Was difficult to communicate cause the staff knows very little English . However the staff tried their very best to help. There was also shuttle services to the ferry port

Although a bit dated interior and facilities, it is a great value for money stay. With onsen and rotenburo on the roof. Also, nearby enough places to eat at night😊

The view from the room was absolutely beautiful especially during sunset. It’s not a far walk from a few really good restaurants and the beach. Also the onsen was clean and relaxing

The one thing that bothered me was that the air conditioning was weak but that’s minor especially during night

Great staff, loved the dance show. The outdoor onsen on the roof is cool and the view on the lake from the rooms is very calming.

Facilites are a bit dated, it’s obviously an old hotel which need a bit of repairs

staff was excellent and the baths were really good. The location was also great, if you had a car.

Big and confortable room with all amenities and nice view on the lake Nice onsen + rotemburo on the rooftop

A bit expensive

Room size was incredible! We had a view of the water.

It was a bit worn in the public areas.

Staffs are nice and very helpful. Food is great👍
