"Pros: We are a group of 5 friends. Cons: The property had 1 Japanese style bathroom, 1 toilet, and 1 bedroom, which doesn't fit all 5 of us. The futon mattresses provided were very thin, which made sleeping on the tatami floor very uncomfortable. Beware of the steep climb to the property from the train station. Not too much of a problem with small luggage or backpack. However, a few of our groups had mid-size luggage, which made the hike up very difficult. Details were provided to take taxis to the hotel above the property and walk down. However, that was lost in translation with our taxis driver. There is no salt/pepper/cooking oil provided in the kitchen. Pros: The property has a great view. It's very clean. The kitchen is adequate for cooking simple meals. Summary: In our opinion, it's probably more suitable for a couple or small family." ~Fui

"Pros: The view from the room is amazing. Large room with plenty of space, with a desk and small table. The traditional Japanese breakfast is good and inexpensive. Friendly staff. Cons: The hotel needs remodeling, everything is really old. The location is inconvenient for those arriving by train, good luck climbing the hill with luggage. If you're driving it's okay." ~Paulo
