The bed is very comfortable, and there are tatami seats where you can have tea in the room. The washing and drying facilities in the room are amazing. The only drawback is that there is no refrigerator in the room, so you cannot buy items that need to be refrigerated. The outdoor hot spring pool is slightly small and is not located in It's a pity that the highest floor is

easy to use. however the bus ticket can only be exchanged on the same day of your trip with no seat reservation. The view at the top of the Ropeway is beautiful!

The price includes the Shinhotaka Ropeway, which is a great deal. The bus can also go to Hirayu Onsen and the Stalactite Cave, and the Stalactite Cave also has a shuttle bus that matches the arrival time of the bus, which is very convenient.

Buying a two-day package is much cheaper than buying separate itineraries, and after purchasing the package first, you only need to go directly to the station to exchange the ticket.
