    The private baths are amazing. Although there are heaters in the house, I would recommend bringing warm clothes when going in winter. The house is beautiful, clean and spacious.

    - The bedroom is upstairs - steep uphill to the site - old cabin/house - unstaff in the evening

    - has a breathtaking view - able to cook and bbq on the balcony - the kitchen has everything we need - friendly staff. They have cranked up the air con to pre-heat the house for us. - it is a camp site not a 5 star hotel so please adjust your expectation - onsen water is hot..hot...hot - tap water has an "onsen" taste but this is what expected. - tatami bed (like in Doraemon, U need to do your bed at night and in the morning) - tranquility in the morning

    The location is a bit out of the way so access to restaurants and such is limited (of course there's nothing the hosts could do about that ;) ) we ended up driving to Minamioguni and Oguni for dinner our two nights.

    EXCELLENT value for money. Complete detached building with its own private onsen bathhouse. Relatively large fridge, availability of microwave and toaster oven in addition to a kettle. Very quiet location. Good quality wifi.

    not an easy drive, quite fun tho, spotted wild tanuki and wild rabbit in the mountains behind the premise when driving in dark. 10 o'clock must keep quiet and turn off bbq pit. wish can continue until 11pm

    The scenery and direct access to the little private onsen tub from your room. huge room with fully equipped kitchen. biggest throughout my stay in Japan.

    It’s a big space so takes a little bit to heat up.

    Very spacious, few people in the onsen. Pretty scenery. Good option to rent a grill and cook your own food. We had the onsen all to ourselves. It snowed the morning after our stay!

    - free bath towels should be available - it was quite moist - due to that it is in the middle of the forest - 3km from city center away and rare/none bus connections

    - great price for a whole holiday house inclusive private indoor Onsen - everything available in house - great location with great view - we had an amazing sunset - barbecue set available if needed - several common Onsen We really enjoyed our stay :)

    It's a good option close to Kurokawa Onsen as an alternative to the expensive ryokan there. Beautiful quiet mountain location. Nice baths. All you need for a self catering trip. Friendly and helpful reception staff. Better to have your own car.
