Negative Reviews
Traditional Japanese breakfast may not suit everyone
Some guests found the traditional Japanese breakfast, with items like fish and seaweed, difficult to enjoy, and would have liked an option for a more Western-style breakfast.
Rooms and facilities could use renovation
A few guests noted that parts of the hotel, such as bathrooms and some decor, felt dated or worn. Some mentioned a need for updates and refurbishment.
Small or compact onsen and bathrooms
The public onsen and some room bathrooms were described as small or a bit cramped by several guests, though the views helped make up for it.
Remote location and access challenges
The property is in a secluded area, making access challenging for some, especially without a car. The mountain road can be narrow, and signage could be improved.
Some meals or textures not to everyone's taste
While many enjoyed the food, a few guests found certain dishes or textures unfamiliar or not to their liking. The large number of courses could be overwhelming for some.
Limited English spoken by staff
A few guests mentioned that staff's English was limited, but communication was possible with translation apps. This did not detract significantly from the experience.
