The staff are super friendly and always ready to help. The daily prepared meals were delicious and many varieties to choose from. Being able to book hot spring without leaving the resort was super convenient. Loved our family time here in Japan and will definitely come back again soon.

10/10 Exceptional

雖然是有點年紀的老舊旅館了, 但館內依舊維持的非常好, 非常乾淨 館內的服務人員都非常親切, 讓人如同在家一般放鬆的感受 房間寬敞舒服, 免費提供的雙人湯屋也很讚,但溫泉的溫度有點太高了, 即便泡進去一段時間還是好難適應 整體而言值得五顆星的日式溫泉旅館

Located right inside Zao Onsen District, I arrived by car. A very well facilitated hotel, with lift (especially important for travellers which big luggages), private onsen is available for booking. The reception team and hospitality teams speaks some English, and are very warm and friendly.

整體感

有體驗到日本人的禮貌。接待、櫃檯、服務員,見到面微笑打招呼,舉止動作給人很正式的禮貌。退房後離開,我接受到90度鞠躬。(哇~) 在巴士總站對面。走路5~10分鐘。便利商店、纜車山麓站。

Great ryokan near the main road of zao. Excellant staff, friendly service with awesome private and public onsens. Big family room was perfect to section off our teenager. Only issue was limited self catering options if you dont take the pricey breakfast/dinner option, single small lawsons in town

貸し切り風呂50分無料の特典もついていて、大浴場も平日宿泊のせいかほぼ貸し切りで、素晴らしい温泉を心底味わうことができました。とてもいい旅館でした。
