This is a beautiful property and we felt very spoilt to share it for a night. Overall the start are very gracious and accommodating. The check in however felt rushed. This was our first time at an onsen and we felt overwhelmed with the venue and proper protocols.

This place seems to be old, but they have the best hot springs. Rooms are large so are all the corridors. Perfect quiet place to spend 2-3 days of relaxing getaway.

second stay
this is our second stay. This time we had meal included. We paid more per room than last time. Maybe winter is peak season. But we didn't get the room with the view as last time. Our room was partially facing the parking lot. The cleanness and the hot spring are both as excellent as before. The service is ok but they don't speak English and they are very strict about check-in and check-out time. The dinner was ok. The sashimi was not very fresh but the rest was ok. The bedding of Japanese futon was very comfortable.
