    The host were extremely nice and explained everything in detail, even take a photo for us! Onsen is 24 hours and is a very nice one, especially in the morning with natural light. Breakfast was excellent and very big. The inn was almost empty so...

    Very accommodating host. Traditional accommodation. Onsen. It wasn't busy so the host let us use the female onsen as a family Onsen. We had an evening meal and breakfast there and were both lovely. Futon beds were comfy.
