This place is way beyond our expectation. The ryokan style building that we stayed is separate from the main building and can easily accomodate 8 persons max. There are table tennis and TV in the common rooms, The lock is smart lock. There is coffee makers and microwave and essential kitchen equipments. The toilet is modern designed smart toilet. The futons that we slept in is so comfy and fluffy. We have each our own kimonos to wear inside the premises. There are 2 private indoor onsens and 1 private outdoor onsens. Very relaxing and guests can access anytime as long as we don't make any dexcessive noises and disturbance to other guests that stay in the main building. The owner barely speak any English but very very helpful and willing to communicate and try to understand what we say. I will definitely stay here again during our next trip to Japan. Hopefully soon.

They have a hot spring coming straight into the house so they have an indoor hot spring bath and an outdoor one. You can lock the door and have it all to yourself! Also they had a massage chair which I enjoyed and even fell asleep in!

This guest house is perfect for stay in hirayu onsen - comfortable, neat and clean, located very close to main bus station. One gets an experience of traditional Japanese inn - rooms with tatami mats, private onsens, yakuta and Japanese tea in the room. And at very reasonable price. It is not expensive like most of the Ryokans and hence complete value for money. Only caution, owners of this guest house speak only Japanese. This wasn't a problem for me as all transactions happened through booking.com and at the guest house sign language worked perfectly. My only regret was if only I had known Japanese, I could have had nice conversations with the owners. They came across as a very sweet old japanese couple.

Great location. Comfortable open plan dorm room with futon bed and screens. Owner was accomodating allowing me to leave my big bag while I went to Kamikochi. I don't speak Japanese but the owner was able to show me things despite my language barrier. Lovely warm house and very clean.

- Private open-air onsen! Not against public onsen but it's not so easy when you're tattoed so the private onsen option is really great, plus kudos to the open air experience :) - For a traditional ryokan, it's great value for money. The room is quite big too, with plenty of cushion so it was a good night's sleep. - Location is great. Only about a 5-minute walk from the station. There's a bit of a slope going out of the main road, so when you have huge luggage, it can be tiring.

This is a house converted into GH. But it is efficently done. 2 private onsen. Small but effective. Landlady 80 but she is always there keeping an eye. No english at all. No breakfast, no kitchen. Among all expensive hotels it is precious stone.
