I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is tucked away in a serene snow country area. The rooms, though a bit snug for two adults, were lovely and well-maintained. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who were genuinely helpful. On the downside, the dining offerings were a bit too strongly flavored for my taste. Overall, it was a nice experience, especially for those looking for a quiet retreat with great onsen facilities.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and offered a beautiful view of the garden, which was a perfect spot to relax. The staff was very friendly and helpful throughout my visit. However, the location is a bit remote without a car, and the dining options could be more varied. Overall, it was a solid choice for a getaway, especially for the good value for money.

The hotel is located in Hida-Furukawa, which, while a bit remote, is just a short taxi ride from the train station. The Japanese-style bedroom had an amazing mountain view, and everything was clean and comfortable. The staff were extremely professional, even assisting my mother with a wheelchair upon arrival without us having to ask for help. However, I found the location a bit inconvenient if you don't have a car, and the noise from the road could be bothersome at times.

The hotel is located in Hida-Furukawa, which is a little far from Takayama but offers a lovely, quiet atmosphere surrounded by nature. The rooms, while clean and comfortable, faced a tiny bar with no real view, which was a bit disappointing. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making my stay enjoyable.
