Separate balcony room with small fridge to sit and take in the view of the stream, waterfall and tree filled mountainside. Late afternoon the table is moved and futon mattress added to floor, extra mattress and bedding in a cupboard, and suggest adding another mattress as we did.

Different sizes are available but for a more personal colourful choice you can hire them at reception for 500yen. Free internet is available in the lobby area. There is also a public hot spring bath facility that has both indoor and outdoor pools. Males and females are segregated as you must bath naked.

Lighting is also able to be controlled remotely and can be dimmed.||||I would highly recommend this guesthouse/hotel as a great place to stay in the...
