This hotel is nestled deep in the mountains, surrounded by a serene forest, making it a peaceful retreat. My room was spacious and well-equipped, and I loved the cozy feel of the place. However, the lack of an elevator can be a bit inconvenient, especially with heavy luggage. The onsen experience was delightful, but it has some visibility from the parking lot, which might feel a bit exposed for some guests.

Nestled deep in the mountains, this hotel is a serene escape with spacious and comfortable accommodations. I particularly enjoyed the beautiful views of the forest from our deluxe room. The onsen experience was wonderful, offering relaxation amidst nature. However, be prepared to haul your bags up the stairs since there’s no elevator, and while the dining options were satisfactory, a bit more variety would have been nice.
