Retro old school luxe. It would have been a very swanky hotel back in the day but we actually liked the old retro feel. The free onsens were fantastic with great views over the mountains. There is also a sauna. We made a lot of use of these. They provide a shuttle bus service to and from the hotel to the train station this was very handy as the hotel is a little out of town and which we preferred. The drip coffee in the room was great and restocked daily. The size of the room was fantastic.

We traveled with a toddler and this is no easy feat but the hotel had a designated play room with books, toys galore, coloring materials, stuffed animals and even a ball pit! The onsen was so relaxing after a long day of walking and the views are spectacular. If you enjoy a good breakfast then you’re in luck because the buffet offers not only a good variety but also quality. The shuttle service was really the star, without it this place would be out of the way. I would stay here again!

The Scenery lounge serves good food and has a great ambience. All the staff dish good English and are super attentive to customers’ needs.

The onsen!
