Absolutely lovely place. At first I thought I'd be uncomfortable with how spaceous the room was (I'm a very jumpy solo traveller), but the room was just so comfy with an excellent view. The heater was a bit hot, but there was an electric fan too, so all was great. The hotel allows you to have a free 50 minute private bath each night, and the private baths are amazing, able to accommodate up to five persons and with windows to let in the light and stuff. Excellent onsen water -- very acidic and very hot. Takes some time getting used to the heat, but once you do it's a heavenly experience. There are also public baths (free of charge) that you could enjoy throughout the night and into early morning (they're closed for cleaning only during 9-12 in the morning), one indoor and one outdoor, both connected to one another. The outdoor one is a bit small, but it's so refreshing to be able to flee from the stifling indoor onsen to enjoy the crisp winter air while soaking up in the heat.

The location was right next to the bus station. They have shuttle bus to ropeway. The most amazing part was their private onsen which was free for hotel guess, it costed $2500 for 45 minutes. Hotel guests could enjoy one free time per day

The hotel is opposite the bus station. It is very convenient to cross the road when you walk out of the station. It is a 10-minute walk to the train station. The hotel also has a car to pick up guests to the train station. The breakfast and dinner are also delicious and rich.

An older traditional Japanese-style hot spring hotel with excellent service. The hotel staff came down to greet me while I was parking my car. The food and beverages are average, the room is not new but has a sense of space, and you can see a vast landscape of red leaves outside the window. The hot spring is very good, and it also provides guests with free private bathing for one hour.
