Good points: locationBad points: If I had to say strong, it was an indoor bath, and there were a lot of guests (many children).About 30,000 yen per night◾️Meals (buffet/self-serve drinks)I was given a quiet seat so I felt comfortable.The contents of the buffet are on point. Good thing there was lychee.It felt good to be able to go out on the terrace in the morning. However, there are a lot of people.◾️ServiceThere are many foreign part-time workers, but they all work honestly. There is no excitement or luxury. The price is reasonable.◾️BathThe view from the open-air bath was so amazing that we could even see a sea of ​​clouds in the morning.The temperature of the bath is hot. If it gets warm, you can enjoy it endlessly by taking a bath in the outside air.In the evening, I laughed when I saw a light truck driving through the grassy hills relatively nearby. People who don't like it probably don't like it. There were cows, and it was so vast that I could forgive it for some reason.The indoor bath is where you go to wash your hair. Not particularly valuable.◾️Room/FacilitiesIt's not interesting, but it's beautiful, and there's nothing particularly bad about it.The wooden swing outside is the best.As a side note, while walking around the grounds at night, I saw a snake dragonfly for the first time in my life and realized the richness of nature.Overall review: The price is low and it doesn't have that much roughness. Great location. Even if I'm not impressed with the food or service, I'll definitely come back.However, it's not worth going if it rains.

Great room with private onzen overlooking magnificent panoramic view. Check-in was very swift & informative. Buffet dinner and breakfast were good enough but not great. Very friendly & helpful staff. In all a great and memorable view. 3rd floor rooms recommended.

We stayed in a renovated room (Japanese-Western style room).Although it rained that day, the starry sky tour in the museum at night was pretty good (it is recommended for those who can understand Japanese to participate).Will want to come again (for the stars🌟)

The room had been beautifully renovated. It feels like a cheaper version of the Hoshino resort world, and you can enjoy it at a reasonable price.The food is delicious, and you can spend the night gazing at the starry sky or soaking in the soothing hot springs.While I was relaxing in the open-air bath, I was able to see a shooting star, which made me very happy👍However, although the inside of the building has been renovated and is clean, there were some parts that felt old and had a musty smell, but since the cost is about 20,000 yen per person per night, I think it is acceptable.

About hot spring ♨️ (day use)The scenery is very nice and relaxing.Sunburn is inevitable during the day.The bathroom facilities are quite old.There are fewer washing areas than ever, only three (man)It's a competition! I guess it's an old-fashioned hotel.This time I'll stay overnight
