The cypress bath was roomy enough for two of us to soak comfortably. It was a lovely way to let go of the day's stress and fatigue. The place also had a nostalgic feel, and dinner was carefully made and delicious, with sake that went down easily alongside it. Breakfast was great with rice, too. I ended up going back for seconds.

We could bathe whenever we felt like it, since every room has its own private cypress hot spring bath. That was amazing. Dinner was served in our room, and they even laid out the futon for us; breakfast was in the dining room. Both meals were great, with lots of seafood and mountain ingredients. If you're used to having convenience stores nearby, the location may feel a little inconvenient, but this place has its own charm. Thanks for everything 😊✨ I'd love to come back!

I liked the quiet, relaxing atmosphere, which felt like a Showa-era hot spring inn. The service was good, and I felt at ease. Dinner was tasty too. The selection might change depending on when you visit, but the meat was tender and the eel was a nice addition. The cypress bath had separate hot and lukewarm sections. I don't like hot water, so being able to soak in the lukewarm one was great. It's only a short walk from the Dai Onsen bus stop.

Both dinner and breakfast were excellent in quality and taste, especially for an older person. I booked at short notice, nearly 20 years after passing through Hanamaki Onsen, and chose this hotel mainly because of the price. It was my first stay there. The hotel didn't have a view because of some issues, but I was impressed by how nicely the room, sink, and toilet had been renovated. The room staff seemed very considerate, and we all enjoyed the night. The hot spring water felt too hot for most people, maybe over 42 degrees? I like water that feels thick, so it was fine for me, though the bath area seemed fairly quiet. That suited me, but I hope the owner will reconsider the temperature control.
