    Love the onsen downstairs and the hospitality of the owners. They were very helpful and kind, especially the uncle. He gave a lot of suggestions, directions and help. Even loaning us snow boots and recommending restaurants and parking to us.

    The owners were so friendly and welcoming, it felt like we were gusts in their home. The onsen was very relaxing and a great way to relax at the end of the day. Thank you so much for your hospitality! I hope to come back one day and stay here...
