There is a playroom for kids, karaoke, and a beautiful onsen with a fantastic view. The room, however, was smaller than expected with a bunk bed. Consider going with an upgraded room if that will be a problem.

Check in was quick and easy, there was construction in the front of the hotel and it seemed many of the construction workers took most of the parking near the front of the hotel. You probably need a car to get to this hotel, but check it out before you book. The hotel is a large hotel that is a typical "bubble boom" hotel that had probably been bought out by this chain hotel company. With that, you can expect somewhat dated facilities. But, in my opinion, it is good for the price we paid here. The other hotels nearby are newer, and thus the price is higher. The room we stayed in was a family style room originally booked as a smoking room, but the front desk was able to make the change to a non-smoking room. Room was clean, new tatami mats, but dated. English is not widely spoken here as you are off the normal path, but the staff try. The half board includes both dinner and breakfast buffet, and offers western dishes, as well as traditional Japanese food. One word about the rotenburo (outside bath), the guest room balconies are at such an angle that it might be viewed from certain guest rooms. We just stuck with the regular onsen and didn't go back to the rotenburo after I noticed this. Checkout is via Kiosk, so quick and easy.

Wow! From the start. Friendly staff, pick out kimono/yukata, to a delicious dinner, public bath, to late night lounge. They do all inclusive right. We loved the room and the ryokan
