The location, view of the forest from the river and private onsen bath were as described and very good. We were half board and the quality of the food in my opinion was really poor, so much so we stopped eating in the restaurant after day one of a three day stay. I can’t comment on the Japanese menu but the western menu was inedible. It wouldn’t be difficult to offer a simple continental buffet for breakfast.

Great

This was the most expensive stay in our trip and compared to the cost, definitely the most disappointing. Starting with the good things: the location is beautiful (even though not unparalleled in Hokkaido), both the private onsen in the room and the larger private onsens that can be used for free were great to use. In terms of things we did not like: as mentioned in other reviews, the property feels dated (e.g. the state of the onsens) - would be ok for a public onsen but less so for an expensive hotel. We more most disappointed by the breakfast and how it was handled: we shared in the reservation that we are vegetarians and would like to have this accommodated - no reaction and we were told when checking in that this is simply not possible to cater for. While Japan can be still tricky for vegetarians, all other (and cheaper!) places we stayed at could cater for us and prepared some brilliant dishes.This shows that this is not about what's doable just simply not caring.

Very relaxing atmosphere, food was great. Though it says Adults only, there were families with children.

This is a lovely hotel in a beautiful natural environment. The room was well set up. The staff were professional and has good level of English. Great food for dinner and breakfast.

Nice room with a view

The overall experience of my stay is terrible: there are molds in the bathtub; the toothbrushing cup was used as cigarette trash tray by previous occupant and was not replaced when we move in; the washbasin is jammed; the sewer make noises randomly the whole night; the receptionists and staff barely speaks English. The only good things of the hotel are exterior view and food.

This is a beautiful hotel with great views of the river and countryside. It is quiet and the rooms are very nice. I used the private baths with no waiting. The bar is a great whisky and wine bar. Complimentary ramen was very nice and filling. Other snacks are also given free. Staff were so friendly, and managed around my language barrier with ease and friendliness.

Beautiful river water front hotel. Dining seats face stream. Quiet and beautiful location.

Good
