I spent an absolutely perfect rainy weekend here in July. The machiya is beautiful, full of character, and ever so peaceful. So when a torrential rainstorm rolled in, I was very happy to have an excuse to stay indoors and soak up the beauty and atmosphere here. I had a large tatami room with enclosed balcony and a sitting room, and wish I could just move in! Delicious breakfast that kept me going until dinner time. If you’re looking for a taste of traditional, historic Japan with all the mod cons, this is the place to stay!

Great place to relax. Staff is very helpfu, we called them and in five minutes they send a car to the train station so we didin't have a problem with luggage. Rooms are spacious and atmosphere is great. We also loved outdoor bath. Dinner and breakfast are great options and we could try many different dishes.

Lovely Japanese room with a hot bath and lake view. Excellent service - transport from the train station, nice reception experience. Happy hour with free wine. Beautiful dinner.

Very beautiful property! The onsen is luxurious and is the best that I've ever been too. Kids are allowed in the onsen too. The breakfast and dinner were excellent. I wished we have booked another night.

Both breakfast and dinner are good

We were met with friendly staff, who in no time completed our check in, and served us with a drink while we waited. We were then guided to our room with clear explanation of things we needed to know. The breakfast and dinner were really an eye-opening experience in the Japanese food culture. The private in room onsen was just superb.

The staff really exceeded our expectations. Everyone seemed invested in us enjoying our stay. Our room was fabulous, it was like a mini apartment with a spectacular view. I had so much fun wearing the different yukata. Dinner in the private dining area was beautiful and the service was excellent. We felt immersed in the Japanese culture and this was a wonderful place to relax.

Breakfast and dinner were excellent

Phenomenal experience!! My family visited for R&R and had an absolutely fantastic experience. Stayed in Japanese-style suite. Kaiseki dinner and Japenese breakfast were outstanding. Service was very attentive, helpful and efficient. Both open air room and private session thermal baths were awesome. Fantastic value for price. Would stay again.
