Friendly staff, peaceful location and good value for money during the season we stayed. They were very accommodating with regards our 7 month old boy.

Superb place for relaxation, onsen. Excellent food, service, staff.

Great to stay

I remember it used to be quite busy, but now it's less of a tourist destination, so it's a hidden gem. [Inn Lobby] The inn has been renovated and is very clean and tidy. You can see the dining area from the entrance, and it has an open, stylish design. [Staff] Everyone was kind and polite, but when I pointed out that something I had purchased was missing at checkout, they got flustered. It took a while for things to get in the way, so I wish they had been more accommodating. [Meals] The food was simple and average, and although the dining room isn't quite semi-private, it's nice that they've properly partitioned it off. [Room] Although it's an older building, it was nicely renovated and kept meticulously clean. [Hot Springs] The water in both the indoor and outdoor baths is a little hot, so it would be better to have it a little cooler so you can relax. The outdoor bath is surrounded by nature and has a nice open feel. [Price] I only stayed one night, and it wasn't too expensive or too cheap. [Shop] Snacks, souvenirs, cup ramen, and ice cream are available on the wall next to the front desk. There are also alcohol and juice vending machines inside the inn, but they wouldn't accept the new 1,000 yen bills, so coins are essential. [Parking] The parking lot is spacious and easy to park in. [Other] There are no convenience stores or places to eat out in the evening nearby. If you're on a plan without meals, we recommend purchasing food in advance and heading to the inn. If you want to go out to eat or to a convenience store, it will take about a 30-minute drive. Furthermore, there are no shops open late at night. The waterfall was lit up right in front of us. It wasn't as lit up as it appears in photos, but the waterfall at night is still magical. [Finally] This is a place to relax and unwind, rather than sightseeing.
