  When you go to a foreign country, the proper thing to do is research and learn some phrases that may be to your advantage before your trip. There is always google translate and image scanner. When you are out in the country, away from the city, there are less people who speak English. The staff were friendly, helpful and prompt. When we had our meal, our waiter came immediately after the bell was rung. Out of all my Japan stay, I enjoyed our Kaiseki dinner here the most. It was carefully prepared with details and consideration. It was oishi. The location is close by a grocery store and not much else. Then again, we were in the country area. I had kids with me, therefore I couldn’t enjoy the onsen as much as I would like, but this hotel is family friendly which I am grateful for.

  The afternoon-tea snacks and eggs for free are limited to one serving for each person. Given the high room price and the "high class" of the hotel, it is really stingy of the hotel to set such limitaitons on customs. Also, the service is not the "Japanese" style as you expect. The waitress serving us is polite, but she is not experienced and not well-trained, apparently. Lastly, most customers here are Japanese, with few foreign guests. It is apparent that the hotel does not attempt to broaden its business internationally. Most receptionists, waiters, and waitresses are not skilled in using English, which may be a drawback for foreign guests. The dinner and breakfast are far better than the hotel services, given its price. Overall, I would spend the money on a worthy restaurant rather than spend a night in the hotel. Maybe this hotel is highly rated for Japanese, but I would not recommend it to foreign customers.

  A wonderful ryokan with excellent views, a grand entryway with lots of shopping options, and abundant food options as well. We were a group of three who had just recently landed in Tokyo and were going about to experience our first onsen setting during the summer time. We booked a traditional Japanese room with futon bedding just for the experience, as we were used to mattress bedding at home and stayed in such an establishment during our first few days in Tokyo. The first big impression was the hot spring eggs and sweet potatoes available near the front check in area, just remember to pick them up after they are cooked for you! The pool was not active during our stay there, but looked like a lot of fun. The building's shadow appeared to keep it cool during the day. The entryway stores were also very good and tourist friendly. During the regular day, there are a few walkway sales points that offer a wide variety of goods and are definitely worth a few minutes of your time. Our highlight experience was the onsen, of course. The undressing, bathing, and actual onsen areas are very large. I wear glasses, so I was basically blinded to my environment during the onsen experience, but my 2 friends had good vision and the large space helped them not feel uncomfortable with the male nudity. Onsen itself was very clean, very hot, and both a delightful and educational experience. Do keep in mind that onsens are designated as male only vs female only, and the onsen area that was male on day 1 will become female on day 2. So, if you are here for the onsen experience, you will have to stay at least 2 days to experience all options. Dining area was separated enough, as you will be seated with your group at a table with adequate space between it and the neighboring table. We arrived during a quiet time for the hotel, so our dinners were basically all effectively solo. Food quality was good, though coming from Tokyo we were comparing it to some quality foods we had eaten there, so the food may be better than we appreciated. Nonetheless, we were always full and happy by the end of our meals and more than willing to sleep on our futons when we got back to our room. In room wifi was slower than expected, but not terrible, and it is free. As stated above, our room was the traditional Japanese style with futons and tatami mats. However, there is a western style sofa available if you don't like the traditional Japanese tatami seating, and the patio seating outside your room is also in the Western style. The view of the park and mountains at our patio were amazing at all times of the day, but sunrise was especially amazing.

  Booked through JP agent - JapaniCan. Stayed in Room type 天祥. Very spacious with separate western style living room and 1 big and I small rooms. Interesting facts at they have 2 toilets and 1 in-room bathroom. I specially like it’s relaxing terrace even the view is as great as some other hotels in the area. They have 3 hot spring bathes. The one on 3rd floor is the best. Dinner is tasty with traditional JP banquet cuisine. Beautifully arranged plate. The most disappointing part is it’s breakfast. Nothing tasty - plain miso soup in a burning pot, mashed yamaimo on rice. Some pickles are outdated with fermented taste. (according to my JP relatives). Staff is friendly but a bit careless. Good for family travel
