Hotel Analysis
Based on 2 sites · 212 reviews
A small onsen ryokan nestled in the mountains of Totsukawa. Guests frequently praise the exceptional water quality of the open-air baths and the lake and mountain views.
Reviews across booking sites repeatedly mention how the onsen leaves skin moisturized and permeates deep into the body. The staff's kind attentiveness and delicious meals using local specialties like deer and sweetfish are often highlighted. The natural scenery from room balconies and the serene atmosphere make it great for relaxing after hiking.
However, the facilities feel dated with some cleanliness issues, and paid pickup from the bus stop makes access inconvenient. English guidance is limited, which can confuse first-timers with onsen usage.
Ideal for couples or groups seeking nature and onsen experiences.
