- "Beautiful tatami rooms, great roof-top onsen, excellent location. They provide yukata, outerwear and socks, as well as toiletries. The room has a private onsen. Quiet oasis in the middle of town." - "I loved our stay here!! The highlight of our Japan trip. The staff were all really friendly especially Taguchi san and the food was amazing! We were served a different menu for our second night, too. The private onsen bath overlooking dogo onsen was lovely. And the yukatas were cute!"
