Beautiful property lovingly cared for with a breathtaking mountain view. The kaiseki absolutely delicious!
Chambre japonaise correcte, belle vue, futon au sol de 3 pouces environ et salle de bain minuscule. Faut absolument reserver les soupers d’avance car nous etions la deux nuits et les deux soirs complets
酒店的公共温泉非常舒适。日式标准房间住三个人刚好。自助早餐很不错。强烈推荐。
Nice hotel but a bit dated.
Just amazing! Wonderful staff. Thank you for making our stay so special. Could not recommend it enough! My family felt really well taking care of. Thank you!!!
Such a wonderful and unique experience ! The owner greeted us outside the door with a warm welcome and also on our departure was there to say good bye. The entire staff was so kind and courteous. Marina, especially…

Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.

The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:30 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.

Nothing to do with the booking above. The same market, priced the same way, for if this one is not it.
