Pros: I travelled extensively around Japan before arriving here, and I can honestly say this was an 11/10. Without a doubt, the best stay of my entire trip.

Excellent food and lovely staff

Pros: The food was exceptional, and the whole dining experience was really unique. The provided yukata was a lovely way to get into the spirit of the place. The staff were also lovely.

The room was large and comfortable, and I had everything I needed provided. Cons: The garden area surrounding the outside baths were a little unkept, with discarded plant pots and weeds which made it feel less luxurious.

Lovely location, amazing onsen. Staff were extremely kind and accommodating, the greatest service we had during our time in Japan. Do not wait, just book!
