Stayed here 12 April 2014 after a local lady and a Japanese motorcyclist booked me a room for the night. (A last minute booking ) the hotel sent a vehicle to pick me up and another who arrived by train. The excellent staff carried me , my bicycle and luggage in the vehicle. The hotel was on a quiet road away from the highway. I was shown the Onsen , my room and taken to the dining room for the best meal I have had in Japan. Many of the dishes I knew but some were local produce, it was nothing short of amazing. I went to my room to find my futon laid out for me and then I went and soaked in their Onsen . Next morning breakfast was just as good as dinner, but I could not eat it all, too full from dinner. The hotel is by a small river which helped me off to sleep. Fantastic service and food with really friendly staff , there was a large number of people staying there and all looked as though they enjoyed the hotel as much as I did.
