As we drove in we were freaking out about the location and how beautiful it was. It is secluded in a really cool canyon with huge cliffs on both sides. The staff was literally a dream. We walked into the room and our jaws hit the floor! It was SO cool and clean and spacious. The food was AMAZING! The onsen was really hot but delightful. There is a really cool waterfall like .8 miles up the canyon you can snowshoe too. If you do not stay here at least a couple nights on your trip, you are missing out for sure. 20 min drive to Asahidake Ropeway. 30min drive to Higashikawa which has shops and restaurants.

cant think of anything

I reserved the suite with private onsen for 2 nights , breakfast and dinner included for my boyfriend and i. First of all i must say the staff is very kind because we arrived later than the checking in hour (we had problems with car renting), but the staff kindly waited for us for dinner. And oh boy , we were not prepared for the meal that was waiting for us. It was absolument the best food we had in japan . Each morning and evening we tasted traditionnal japanese delicacies. There was so much different things to try, it was delicous but also stunning to see the presentation. Of course the room was amazing as well. Incledible view of the mountains from our private onsen. The beds were fluffy and the living room was cosy. Also, I arrived at the hotel with a bit of a skin rash but I think the onsen water healed it...!! What can i say more ! I will still talk about this experience when i'm old i think, it was the best hotel i stayed at. Thank you so much to the kind staff !!

The bedroom ceiling light was a bit harsh, but it was not a big deal. We just moved the light from the living room in the bedroom and we had a cosy atmosphere.

The staff, the room, the food. The ryokan is 70 years old and is tucked away in the mountains. There were other ryokans near the property in the past, but this is the only one standing today. It’s really a gem and we were grateful to have found it. The food was beautifully presented and was very enjoyable at the end of the day after hiking. We stayed in the suite with its own onsen. The private onsen is really only big enough for one person and so my husband and I took turns using it. You also have access to the larger onsen downstairs. The room is a very generous size with a separate bedroom. As I mentioned, the building is 70 years old so do not expect any modern decor. It is authentic and very cozy. The staff are wonderful, kind, and very accommodating.

The best onsen experience, with beautiful outdoor and indoor space Friendly and helpful staff, who helped us arrange ski rentals and transit via the hotel shuttle Beautiful location, with views of the river and the canyon, with close proximity to Asahidake mountain Wonderful filling breakfast and dinner, with elaborate presentation

Not much - the stay here went beyond our expectations, and we hope to return someday!

Very helpful reception staff, big spacious rooms. The breakfast and dinner was very good, focused around local food, a good variety of dishes and menu changed enough for the second night, so not repetitive.

Onsen is a little basic, but good water.

Amazing location, great small onsen, antique feeling

Nothing

Amazing meals and attentive staff!

Incredible scenery, fabulous staff, the best food I’ve had in Japan.

Amazing place.. stunning food.

The experience as a whole. So lovely and secluded. Beautiful rooms. Friendly staff. Quiet onsen.
