It's on top of a hill about 100 meters uphill from the bus stop.There's a cafe, karaoke, table tennis, massage chairs, and a coin laundry with two washing machines and dryers, but it's crowded probably because there are a lot of Kumano Kodo tourists.Although 90% of the customers were from overseas, they were well-mannered and comfortable.On the hotel reservation site, it looked like a buffet-style dinner, but it actually felt like a luxurious meal served in the room.It takes less than 10 minutes to walk to Tsuboyu, and it's not even a hill.

The rooms are clean, the staff are all smiling, kind, and polite, and the baths are great.I was very satisfied with the meal. Strangely, the timing is so good that the next dish comes out just as you finish eating.This is an inn I would like to come back to again. thank you very much.

It was at a time when there weren't many people at the hot springs.It was quiet and the hot water was good.What bothered me was the smell in the lobby.I can't say anything. It's better to burn it with incense.

Stayed here after a long hot day on the Kumano Kodo. Staff solicitous and helpful, beer in the fridge, the usual minimalist Japanese style room with a toilet needing a license to operate. Aircon (needed as it was over 30C and humidity off the scale). Close to bus and other Onsens. Good view to the mountains from the room and onsen. Good mineralisation in the water leaving skin slick and replenished. The food was local and excellent, though I get not always to some western tastes. Great with bag transfers, we were there as part of an OkuJapan 5 day self guided walk and would happily return.

Very nice place to stay. There are one public bathroom for each gender and two private bathrooms. The water is clear with floating sediments. It has sulfur smell. Taste slightly salty. The dinner is served in the staying room. The food is good. The staff is very nice.
