Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Steep access — The hotel sits up on the mountain, and one guest describes a 'steep hike' to reach the front door. The shuttle bus helps, but plan accordingly.
- Possible service hiccups — At least one review mentions slow food service and disorganized staff, while others praise the staff—so experiences may vary.
- Some dated bathrooms — One guest felt the bathroom didn't match the photos online, describing it as 'outdated'.

7.6Verified guest“We spent Easter here with family and loved the ryokan-style experience. The traditional Japanese meals were delicious and beautifully presented in our room. The mountain views were calm and pristine. The location allowed pleasant short walks to attractions, and sleeping on rice mat floors felt authentically Japanese.”
7.6Verified guest“This hotel is up on the mountain, so be prepared for a steep hike to the entrance. The room was spacious with stunning views, though the bathroom felt a bit dated compared to the photos. Breakfast was tasty but service was slow, and the staff seemed disorganized at times. The two large hot baths were a great payoff after the climb.”
