Too faraway to walk from Sora kan to the breakfast and dinner place at the Sugoinoi palace. Staff was not very friendly and hotel was too crowded. We felt like we were just one of many guests and not valued unlike some other small hotels in the region. Overall disappointed with the experience. To use the nice hotspring with view (Tanayu) and family hotspring pool, suggest to just buy a day ticket to use the facilities, which is much cheaper than staying there overnight.
