    The rotemburo was lovely, but even better was the hot onsen water naturally emerging by the side of the beautiful river which flowed passed the hotel. The outdoor bathing was wonderful. The staff were very helpful when we were planning our walks...

    Great position, in front of a very cool hot river. The traditional Japanese style room was very nice, big and comfortable. Several onsen with different styles that felt very authentic. We really liked dinner and breakfast.
