"The facilty is old & the room smelled of cigarettes, but everything else was wonderful. If looking for authentic Japanese experience (for the working and middle class Japanese) this is a very good experience. Dinner and breakfast buffet was really good. However there's little to do around the lake, unlike Yamashiro ir Yamanaka onsen area.
"
"The people is extremely warm and welcoming, including reception and the lady serving us from check in to dining. The young lady can speak english, we have a great time there. We use the public onsen before dinner so there are not much people. The private onsen in the room also great, but will be a bit small if two people bath together. Will definitely recommend this place to people who want to experience Japanese traditional onsen culture and dining. "
"We had the most wonderful stay here for our honeymoon, staff were so friendly and ensured we were looked after well. The hotel was spotless and the decor was incredible. The private dining was fantastic with lots of different courses. We highly recommend staying here! "

"Onsen is located on a river and surrounded by nature. Very picturesque. The food served was excellent, traditional cuisine, lots of variety, and plentiful. I appreciated the free shuttle service from the train station to the onsen, this needs to be arranged beforehand through the expedia booking platform. The room was clean. Facilities could benefit from upgrades. "

"This ryokan is very dated and in dire need of a refresh. The facilities are not what you would expect from a top end facility in a spa town. The public bath (men’s) felt decades old with soap/salt staining and old fittings. The private baths were a good facility/idea.
Most corridors apart from the main lobby area had an unpleasant smell (musty, mouldy). Our room also faintly had this whiff.
The staff are great - polite and efficient. Breakfast was good.
The free snacks, sale, ice cream buffets were a good idea but don’t expect them to be top quality.
The shuttle was handy. And the ryokan is well situated, a short walk away from charming Yamanaka town.
Unfortunately I could not recommend this as a place until it has had a make-over. "
"I very much liked this place. And they did me a favor, I wasn’t able to use the purple bimi ticket, so they made a dinner option just for me, and I looked at the menu- the dinner was worth more than the cost of the ticket. They helped me out beyond what they needed to do, I highly recommend this hotel."
"The Hotel it's nice, needs updates, but still comfortable.
The staff was amazing. Super friendly and helpful. What a pleasure to be there.
The restaurants have good food too. "
"Excellent restaurant- awesome Sashimi. Unfortunately closed on Monday nights? Need transportation to get around. ( I took taxi kinda spendy. )The Spa has awesome natural spring water. The staff eas awesome."
