    Intimate atmosphere, smaller hotel with less rooms so it was nice and quiet and relaxing. Big bonus was the private bookable Onsen. The set meals were phenomenal and filling. Nearby access to Yudanaka station makes getting to and from Nagano...

    Tomo is the best! He is so friendly and accommodating. The property is beautiful and the rooms are perfect! The food was seriously some of the best we had in our entire 1 month stay in Japan. Onsens were gorgeous too!

    Very friendly staff, great facilities and exceptionally good food. Rooms are nice but a bit small. We didn't stay for very long but definitely would come back again.
