This hotel is located some fair distance from town . However the surrounding area is woody and pretty . |Car park is plentiful and free. |Checkin is fast and clear . An onsen tax of 150 is paid on arrival . |The rooms are very big and spacious . Beds are very comfortable though only one pillow is provided per bed . The temperature control is only heat - small , medium or big . The rooms are provided with a fan and humidifier .

We asked for permission to celebrate a birthday but the request was denied in the dining room or public waiting area .
