8/10 Very Good
May 28, 2019
Beautiful Property with Tremendous Potential. Like much of Japan, an exercise in contrasts: Fabulous quality of meals, crazy prices for wines; generous toiletries, the few towels are small & old (thin & full of holes); lovely terrace, no cushions for the chairs and algae line around the spa tub; cute bistro set on the upper terrace, breakfast can't be delivered there; massage therapists are sweet, enthusiastic, strong and poorly trained; billiard table is promoted, the felt is full of holes and scratches, for a charge of 1,200¥; Pitch 'n Putt golf course 'on site', closed Wednesdays and a fee of 3,250¥ charged per room for an hour's game. Place appears to be run on a shoestring with regards to staff, although all very friendly: the owner, one waittress, one maid, the chef and somebody's grandparents doing the gardening. But still, it was a spectacular drive up there, the bed was comfy, and we left very relaxed after a 2-night stay. Would recommend, but temper your expectations.
