Good service I’m so happy that I don’t even want to go home. I really love that place so much.

Beautiful scenery surrounding the hotel, outdoor ofuro very nice. Staff are friendly and can communicate fluently in English. A photo taken from room attached, so stunning.

It was honestly so pretty. The whole place feels like a proper onsen escape, staff were really friendly, and the open-air bath was just… perfect (especially in the cold, with cliff view and snow fall). Only thing: it’s far from the station... its not possible to walk there, especially in winter. But they make it easy, they have a shuttle to Ashinomaki Onsen Station, and there’s also Bus No. 12 from Aizu-Wakamatsu Station, from the bus stop it’s like a 5 min walk. Would 100% go again.

Nice place for travel and great spa And the food is amazing !!

Very good place , very nice staff

Cons: - Poor public transport to / from hotel & area. - Food options are limited (hotel food or nearby 7/11). - Staffed bar (e.g., beer) only runs until 18:00 with last orders at 17:30. - Onsen doesn’t open until 15:00. Pros: - Truly in nature - Onsen is perfect. The outside area is wonderful, especially when it’s snowing - Good heating in the rooms. - Japan breakfast buffet has a diverse selection of Japanese food. - Self-service bar sells a wide range of saki until midnight. - Shamisen performance is wonderful. - Amazing shuttle bus service to main train station at 10:00 from hotel. Hotel hints: - If you need help, target a younger member of staff. We had much more success getting advice & taxi bookings with younger staff at the same desk.
