this hotel is absolutely awesome. Comfortable beds, clean modern rooms, and sweet, gracious staff who were very patient with us and our language barrier. The rooftop onsen is very nice and we were the only people in it both times we soaked, morning and night. There’s also a nice patio on the roof where you can have coffee or watch the sunset. Worth noting- the walk uphill to the hotel from the station is pretty intense when it’s hot and humid out if you have a lot of luggage, but a cab can make the trip if you aren’t physically able. It’s worth the hike.
