This hotel is difficult to reach without a car. The local bus only comes three times a day and the time table may not match up with the trains. However, this hotel was definitely worth the trouble for the amenities alone. The lobby is fully stocked with books and refreshments, and the onsen is very relaxing. If the weather is good, you can see the stars from the outdoor bath. The breakfast buffet had a good variety of healthy options. Would recommend especially for families and couples.
