The hotel is warm & cozy. Staff are friendly & helpful. They offer breakfast & dinner so it's good to stay here during Japanese New Year time when some restaurants are closed for holiday.

The moment I checked in, I was shocked by the simple room, the super small public toilet, the old bathhouse with old facilities, and the slightly musty old house. It was not until I was on the way back from visiting Rurikoin that I realized that I was living in a museum. When I opened the door, I met the smiling and friendly waiter again. The living room was already a picture of a happy United Nations banquet. Travelers from all over the world were eating hot Japanese hot pot at their respective tables, and they were once again infected by this warm, integrated, and family-like atmosphere. It is worth recommending to stay for one night (the sanitary conditions can still be overcome for one night), and the surrounding Sanzen-in Temple is also worth a visit!

Because it is deep in the mountains, the natural environment is very good, and you can reach Jikkoin Temple within a few steps. The hotel has a very traditional Japanese style and a good experience. However, it is extremely dark at night, and it can be said that there is no one within a hundred miles ∠( ᐛ ∠)_.
In terms of transportation, it can be described as going up and down the mountain. You need to take a car to Kokusai Kaikan Station and transfer to the bus to Ohara. A bit far from the city.
The hotel has a different hot pot for dinner every day, all with miso as the theme. You can also taste Ohara's unique miso ice cream.
In terms of service, the receptionists are very enthusiastic. The reserved room is surprisingly large, more than enough for 4 people. The open-air hot spring is very artistic, but it's a pity that I can't get up and take a dip during the day. The scenery will be very good.
I don’t know if it was a special service, but there was an extra dish of appetizers for breakfast on the day of check-out. Breakfast is also very traditional Japanese style.
There are also some shortcomings. You can be more careful when explaining the check-in information. There is a bathroom outside where you can brush your teeth. We only discovered it when we passed by after taking a bath. The next day, new yukata towels were placed directly at the door. I almost didn't notice them, but the opportunity to use them was already missed.
Finally, if you live in Ohara, it is best to spend a day here to play.

It refreshed my understanding of Japanese hotels. It is remote and far away. The hotel environment is terrible. The quilt is covered with dirty hair. There is no indoor toilet and shower. The public bath closes early. It is so cold that it is cold to the skull. The heating equipment can only last for five minutes. The platform can push such a hotel to the guests first. It is a trampling on consumers. The service attitude is extremely poor and there is a communication barrier. The boss seems unfriendly to Chinese people.

1. Request for additional fee
They say children stay free, but they charge an additional 4,000 yen per person.
When I asked if the children's fare was free, they made a ridiculous excuse that they looked at the age of two two-year-olds and asked for 2,000 yen for a two-year-old and 4,000 yen for a seven-year-old. I don't understand if this is the correct calculation or if they are just ripoffs because I am a foreigner.
(Please specify the number of people accurately when making a room reservation. Two rooms are reserved for a total of 7 people.)
2. The accommodation staff is unfriendly.
The parking attendant in front of the accommodation told me to park, so I parked, and they asked me to pay 300 yen. It was strange, so I showed the paper at check-in, but the staff didn't say anything.
It was so strange that I asked if this was correct, and then he said that he was from another company and that his parking lot was upstairs;
In addition, he is generally unfriendly, such as talking forcefully to the babies.
3. I wonder if it is worth a visit due to the overall facilities and location. If you are going to pay the same amount of money, it would be better to stay at a hotel near Osaka or Kyoto.

It takes about an hour to get to the city by car, and there is no bathroom in the room. But the surrounding environment is good, and the red leaves of Sansen-in are very beautiful. It's not far from the hotel. 👍

The store's service is very good. The room is made of tatami mats and is very cozy. There are big trees outside the window. The dinner and breakfast are very good. I must recommend the hot springs. This is the first experience in my life at Yamanakano Hot Springs. It's great. It's suitable for vacation.

This store is very dark, the environment is average, and the internal sanitation is poor. This experience made my family and I have a bad opinion of traveling in Japan. The boss told every customer that you have booked a student discount, but you are not students and need to make up the money , until the evening I saw other guests being compensated in the same way, which is a bad method.
It is unacceptable to pay another 10,500 even though the payment has already been made.

The room does have a musty smell, but it is clean enough and the outdoor environment is beautiful! The two meals were very good, and I completely felt the flavor of Japanese ryokan!

I used it with my children. I was worried because the room faced a busy corridor, but all the staff were kind and helpful. The meal was delicious.
