50,000 yen and purposely chose a 5:30 early dinner to see the sunset and they put us all the way in the back in the ONLY room without a view! Room had no shower or bath. Good food, but had a better experience for 18,000 without the dinner the night before! Seriously disappointed! For 50,000 yen, I purposely chose an early dinner at 5:30 to watch the sunset, but I was given a seat at the very back of the room, the only room with no view. Ta. There was no shower or bathtub in the room. The food was good, but we could have had a better experience for 18,000 yen without dinner the night before. I was really disappointed!!

It was really relaxing. Over the course of two days and one night, we had three baths, with men and women taking turns each day. The surrounding area is rich with nature, so there were some insects, but I didn't mind them (the hotel's precautions also mention insects lol) The open-air bath while listening to the sounds of insects in autumn is the best. It was. The food was delicious, but it seemed too mature for the kids (there are a few a la carte menus, so I added fried chicken). Unfortunately, the waitstaff at the restaurant didn't have a smile on their faces, and they were talking to staff in other places. It was so different that it stood out (not the same as being dishonest).It was a family trip after my mother got sick with her leg, so it was a relaxing and satisfying trip just by being inside the hotel.

It was a great stay. I took advantage of the renewal commemorative plan, so I was surprised to find that such a nice room (with a great view!) included breakfast and dinner! I was impressed. I think everyone has their own preferences, but the bed, pillows, and sofa in my room are perfect for me. There is no shower in the room, but it is spacious. It was a luxury to be able to enjoy three hot springs overlooking Osaka. I chose shabu-shabu for my meal and it was delicious. As for the breakfast, it was so much that I couldn't finish it all, so I was really satisfied. It was a wonderful inn that will definitely make us a repeat guest.

Breathtaking view of Osaka city.Hotel room is relatively small if you compare the room size of hotels/Ryokan in suburb. No bathroom. Only toilet in my twin room. One drawback for my experience was that we booked two twin rooms but both rooms had a bad smell like exhaust gas of cars. We were toldthe hotel was full so we had to sleep in the rooms with unpleasant snell. Staff were nice and very polite but they could not fix the problem immediately. I hope that they had arranged checking and repair after we checked out. At this price, no one expected such quality.
