The price is a little steep, but it’s probably because we booked quite late and it was also peak season.

We absolutely love the size of the room. It was huge and the bed was very comfortable too. Decorations of the hotel were tastily done and it just gave us a very comfortable feeling. The restaurant breakfast is a must to try because the ingredients, the bread are just fantastic. They individually made the bun and the ambience was so comfortable. We stayed for 2 nights and we went for their breakfast for two morning. They do also have nice dinner bar also and feel free to try them too. But the breakfast was the highlight.

Rooms were smaller than expected. But manageable.

The hotel was really pretty. Not too far from the station but we took a cab to get there, having missed the shuttle. Given the proximity to the train station, it wasn't expensive. We got a nice welcome with a fireplace in the lobby. Our room was nice, although smaller than we expected. We did manage. It also had a nice small balcony with a nice view of the courtyard behind the hotel as it snowed. The restaurant was the highlight. The setting was romantic, the food top-notch and we did have a nice time. They also have a shuttle at checkout time that took us back to the train / Shinkansen station. It's a free shuttle that leaves at set times and I would highly recommend it, particularly if it is raining or snowing.

We had 2 meals...dinner at the Wine Tavern and the breakfast buffet. The dinner was horrible...tasteless and overpriced. The "healthy breakfast buffet" was enjoyable because I personally like vegetables and healthier options. The homemade milk bread was FABULOUS!!! The public baths were an interesting concept. You had to use a computer near the front desk to book a reservation for the many baths scattered throughout the property. My husband is a furo freak and normally will soak 3x per a 1 night stay but he only went once because he said it wasn't very hot or enjoyable.

Property felt like a Swiss Chalet in Karuizawa but the rooms felt like "Glamping". An interesting concept. Rooms were clean but dated. The website advertises newly renovated rooms but we obviously didn't pay the premium for these rooms so I understand you get what you pay for.

A far from services for example restaurant or groceries, for folks who don’t drive.

Quaint and homely. The private bath was fantastic and an exceptional experience!

Beautiful yard and well maintained facilities. It is close to drug store, supermarket and convenient store. The shuttle bus is good as well. Staffs are very friendly.

At their wine bar, the quantity of food was very small, especially the chocolate dessert was not worthy.

We really enjoyed their private onsen. The lobby was warm and cosy with a fire place. The rooms were clean and spacious. The outside of the hotel looks cute and nice for photos.

According to the lady at the reception, customers can only make reservations for dinner at the hotel restaurant for the following evening. Even so, that evening (when we did our check-in) we thought we could have something to eat at the hotel bar, since it was still open (it was a bit after 8:00 pm). But they were no longer serving any kind of food, only wine. We were taken by surprise, and then it was late to search for a nearby restaurant because they close early, and so do convenient stores. So we just ate what we had with us that evening.

We loved the architecture of the hotel, the rustic chic ambience, the Victorian style with a Japanese touch, and the surrounding nature. It's certainly worth staying!

That we had to make a reservation for everything, but we’re the kind of people that like to see what the day brings. So we didn’t eat at the property, and we couldn’t get a beer there because you’d have to book that in advance too. But as said before, a few restaurants and supermarkets at walking distance, so we didn’t starve.

It looks beautiful, there’s a few restaurants, a conbini and a good size supermarket nearby. Staff is very friendly, coffee is good. The room was a good size with a huge comfortable bed. The onsen is a private (very) hot bath semi outside, so that was nice. You can book it for 45 minutes on the same day.

The hotel building made from woods. So I sometimes heard noise from other rooms or somewhere. There are some buildings combine together so it’s sometimes little bit far to go to restaurant and front or something. There’s no elevator, so it’s inconvenient for older people or the people who have babies. We stayed in the newer building but actually not so new and it’s in the forest so not so clean, I mean they clean but there were spiderwebs in the ceiling.

The hotel is classical and has a forest and garden. The rooms have a bath tub in the bathroom but the hotel has many individual small outdoor Onsen which is called Rotenburo. Some of them have Ganbanbuto. They were so nice. And the restaurant has terrace table. To have breakfast in the terrace or outside was really nice because even summertime , the temperature is not hot , feeling fantastic.
