Secluded onsen on Lake Shikotsu with very helpful staff. Delicious breakfast buffet and also had the set dinner feast with traditional and seasonal food. Enjoyed room with gorgeous view of lake- watched the sunrise over snowy slopes while in outdoor bath. Spectacular!

Had a wonderful time at the onsen last week. Room came with dinner and buffet breakfast, was quite taken aback when the room didn't come with a shower but we managed by booking a private onsen at night, also it was winter so it wasn't much of an issue. Staff were very helpful, we had a wonderful time and good view of Lake Shikotsu from our room

Onsen was great! So was the service staff including the reception and the waitresses at the restaurants. Had a tatami room which was very comfortable. Dinner was kaiseki, and therefore, really sumptuous. Breakfast was alright and can be better in terms of quality and spread. All in all, we had a good experience!

Perfect place in fall!

A most beautiful view from outside onsen to the lake and the mountain. Colorfull scenery, very impressive indeed. There very some unknown black ”beetles” (?) on the room cieling which dropped to my face, neck and arm when I was asleep. Not a nice wakeup call! I could not sleep after 2:30am that night! The dinner was served in our room. We do not like so much eating in our bedroom.

We stayed in a Non~smoking facing lake room which was newly renovated. Dinner added Japanese style grilled fish set ( indoor table BBQ) to our Kaiseki dinner was good experience. Onsens were good and traditional, esp. natural onsen by the lake which required walking 61 stairs each way。 A nice stay for enjoying the hotel only as there were no other shops or convenient stores around.

Excellent food and hot spring facilities. Our family enjoyed so much on the hot spring and the dinner served. The breakfast was local but with vast variety, enjoyed the breakfast time with many dishes to choose to go with rice or congee. The hostel also provided good connection service to the main streets and overall it is a good place for relaxation and family gathering.

nice traditional hostel

Nice traditional hostel. onsen is good. dinner is acceptable. breakfadt is very good. As the location is remote, don't expect any 7-eleven is surrounded. Last remind: no air conditioner in room.

AMAZING HOTEL!! We stayed here for our last night in japan and could not have been happier. The location is absolutely breathtaking and the facilities are superb. The rooms were very comfortable and authentic. We also really enjoyed the Japanese style dinner in the comfort of our room.

Three stars: Looks better on photos than real life

The rooms are quite old and has a funny smell. The open air outdoor onsen is muggy and the wooden walkway is dark and creepy. Photos and reality are a huge difference. Dinner is just so-so. Not great. The only saving grace of this hotel is the lake view

Quiet isolated hotel for lakeside peace

This was a beautiful peaceful place to watch the sunrise over the lake. Excellent Japanese ryokan style evening meal- nowhere else nearby to eat! We stayed at end of April, still snow on mountain peaks and some walking trails still closed. Visitors centre further round lake well worth visiting for info.

Quaint Ryokan near the Lake

A more traditional ryokan but onsen was great. I genuinely enjoyed the waters there and the peaceful stay there. Would highly recommend. The view to Marukoma was also one-of-a-kind.
