A slow paced, laid-back retreat.
The location can be difficult to find. DO NOT rely solely on Google Maps, as it will give you an unrelated place some distance away from the actual location. Upon reserving a room, the proprietor reached out to provide his Line contact, as well as geo coordinates that you can then plug into Google Maps.
The condition of the room was good, relative to the location it's in. The location is quite rural and tucked in nature, so there are lots of critters as a result. However, that didn't take away from the great hot spring experience.
There's a really friendly dog and several incredibly cute cats hanging around. If you're not pet person, then maybe this isn't the place for you.
Meal service is somewhat limited to a basic, but healthy breakfast. We ordered dinner as well for our stay. The first night, a delicious hot pot was served. On the second night, dinner was cancelled for some reason (possibly supply issues). The proprietor called to inform us and refunded us the value of the dinner. Speaking of payments, if you are opting to pay at the location, this place does not accept credit cards. Be warned, it's cash only.
To conclude, it's a pretty laid back atmosphere and service. During warmer weather, they host kayaking adventures down by river, which we unfortunately did not have time for, but we thoroughly enjoyed our retreat, the outdoor hot springs, and our furry hosts. Looking forward to going back either during the winter or spring when cherry blossoms will bloom.
