The hotel itself has a lot of historical value, and this was our first stay. We booked a room in the Kashotei-Sanso wing, which was comfortable and clean. The staff were attentive and polite, and the hotel facilities were excellent. The onsen (hot spring) area offered a variety of options, but what truly impressed me were the 2-3 private onsen rooms available. These rooms allow you to enjoy a relaxing bath with your family without any disturbances, and they operate on a first-come, first-served walk-in basis. For dinner, we had the Japanese kaiseki cuisine, which was incredibly rich and delicious. After our meal, we took some photos in front of the hotel – it's absolutely stunning both day and night. This hotel is definitely on my must-visit checklist for an onsen ryokan!

We arrived by car. The location was somewhat difficult to access, so my satisfaction score is slightly lower than other categories. It's a historically valuable cultural heritage site, so I recommend it to anyone interested in architecture. The food incorporated plenty of seasonal ingredients, was colorful, and very satisfying. The staff were also very helpful. There were several hot springs, and we were provided with two bath towels each, so we thoroughly enjoyed bathing.

The nighttime illumination was beautiful, and I enjoyed taking pictures! The building felt clean and didn't show its age, and I didn't notice any noise leakage. The food is Japanese cuisine. Since it's a set course in the evening, I recommend going with an empty stomach!

It was nice to feel the history and also the newness.

The food and the hot springs were both great and I really enjoyed it. It's a hot spring inn I'd like to visit again.

Although it is an old hot spring hotel, I don't think it's worth the price. There is a small street around it, which is not recommended. Maybe I personally like the hustle and bustle. When I went to the room, there was no staff to help with the luggage.

I came here to explore Spirited Away and it was really amazing. Both the hot springs and Red Bridge are amazing and worth checking in!
