Convenient for travellers who are not driving as an easy 5 min walk from bus stop. Hotel is bit dated, especially the rooms and dining area. Food was very underwhelming but you can tell the grannies serving you tried their very best. Tatami was very coarse and uncomfortable for the bed and the free onsens are very bland, without any view but very clean.... need to pay >US$10 for 50 min in private onsen featured in profile pics.
