Stayed with partner

Liked: Large rooms Did not like: Rigid dining schedule. Food, while plentiful and tasty, was served at a fast pace as the time available for dinner is limited. Private onsen not worthwhile -- water very hot and space cramped. No after dinner option to socialize. Bar very limited and closes (hard close) at 9 pm. Upon asking what people do in the evening we were told-- Onsen (bathe)! It is not everyone's preference to take a hot bath after dinner.

The place was great! The staff is friendly and helpful, even if you don't speak any Japanese they can help you, Google translate helps a lot too. There are lots of little shops around the town to get trinkets, snacks, alcohol or

The drive in the village to get to the Osen was super narrow, so make sure to drive carefully. Besides that, the staff was lovely, easy to talk to, and super friendly. Breakfast and dinner weren't bad. I was able to relax for a few days. Thankyou.
