Stayed 2 days in this 20 rooms traditional Japanese style hotel, very zen n quiet, better for couples. In room private osen n public osens were good . No onsite restaurant, breakfast n dinner served in room. Food was excellent, we usually couldn't finish all. The Japanese lady serving our room was attentive, informative, joyful n helpful in every way. Her English was good enough to communicate with us. Should have asked her name to publicly praised her.
The hotel had frequent shuttle bus taking us to nearest train/bus station, 5 minutes away, so in a way was easy to get around.
That said ,for return , we had to call them to pick us up at same station . This was not easy for us with travel data cards that had no local phone numbers. So they said we could email them for pick up n I had no idea how long that would take as we were lucky enough to always got back by taxi. Btw taxi was not easy to find around that area.
Other than that, though the property was very clean, it was old n probably the mountain moisture dampen the wood or sth, when we first enter our room there was a smell . After we turned on AC for a while , the odors was no more . Next day, with opened window overlooking the valley of trees, the very refreshing air was sth we didn't have living in city.
The property had many very interesting museums around, about 15 to 30 minutes ride. We also went to areas around the train stations for coffee or simple lunch so we were never bored. Would recommend this hotel.
