Very friendly and very, very helpful staff and owner! They made our stay there really special and unforgettable! Excellent Japanese breakfast (they even made a special vegetarian one when we asked, delicious too) wonderful view from the room and very good beds, also futons! We enjoyed the public bath of the hotel too and will visit again if there is a possibility!

the hotel owner is so nice that he took us to the titan museum and dropped us at the hita station. he even came back to the station again to give the ring I forgot at the hotel. what a kind man. my family also love onsen at the hotel.

Great location and view on the river. The onsen with a view on the river was very relaxing.

The hotel is pretty old and a little kitsch but it is well kept so it doesn't really matter.

The room has a nice view. The staff is very kind. The onsen has a lot of amenities and a beautiful view

The hotel is right on the river, with beautiful sunset views from the lobby and from my room. The room was a Japanese style room - great, except my allergies were a problem with the tatami (they were nice enough to switch out the feather duvet and pillows for me upon request, so that helped). I think in non-covid times (and summer) there are river dining options - I'll have to come back for that! Breakfast was DELICIOUS - see the photo! The staff was super helpful in recommending a place to eat dinner nearby, and called ahead to see if there was space for me. They offered to walk me over, even! So sweet. They were able to put my bicycle in a back room for storage, so I didn't have to leave it outside. It seemed there were bikes to rent too - I'd recommend that, as there is so much to see in town! The onsen was fine - outdoor bath overlooked the river, but bamboo screened, so not really a view. (Oh, and I arrived in town early and they let me leave a bag so I didn't have to lug it around on my bicycle - which left a pannier open to purchase things as I explored the old part of town - don't miss the sake brewery, and cafe/bakery across the street. Get the bread before they run out! There is a wonderful ceramics shop about half way between the station and the hotel too, but also be sure to get up to Onta to the pottery village, visit the small museum, buy some pots from one of the family run shops, see the water driven clay processing tools. Worth the 15 minute drive (or 90 minute cycle uphill if you are so inclined). The landscape along that road is just beautiful.

Super friendly and accommodating staff.

Hotel is a bit dated, but is charming.
