"Had a good one night stay here. I was worried it wouldn’t be enough time to see everything i wanted too, but it turned out to be perfect. You can drop off your luggage before and after you check in which is really nice. Highlights for me were the public bath, and morning ceremony."

You are staying here for the experience. The property was clean with onsen (hot bath) provided and our room had its own toilet/sink.
