This place is falling apart at the seams. The property is old and musty with bugs. The food was passable but it’s one of very few choices in the area. The onsen bath takes literally hours to fill (8-10 inches per hour) and the location is so remote it takes several trains which run once an hour at most. Staff are lovely but avoid this place!!

the building is in bad shape, badly needs to be overhauled, but being a bubble investement it's too big thus unlikely to ever earn a corresponding income. The public outside baths are refreshing but again the inside connected facilities require repair. The onsen water i apprreciated.

Good facilities, but run down, isolated area

Wide range of facilities that deservedly give it its ‘resort’ name, but everything is a little worn and tattered. Great if you’re a 70s or 80s fan! From the look of the numbers in the vast breakfast hall, there only seemed to be dozens of couples & families staying when we were there in a massive complex with perhaps hundreds of beds. Biggest disadvantage was its location, hour train trip each way each day from Nikko, in a desolate town where half the buildings seemed derelict it unoccupied. The highlight was we were one of the few areas to still have Onsen in the snow this late in winter (Feb).

The staff was beyond amazing. I don't know much Japanese but there was no language barrier. They picked us up from the station and recommended nearby restaurants for dinner. Everyone was just so polite and hospitable that i regret only staying one night! There was too much to do and see but not enough time!

Good place for 3 nights

It was 1 hour further from Tobu Nikko. There is another LiveMax hotel nearby so make sure you enter the full address in Google Map. We ended up in the wrong place at first go but got help from a really nice local staff. Other than that, quite enjoyed our stay. The hotel is going through renovation so some part of it looks good while other looks a bit old. We stayed in a traditional tatami room and loved it. Nice onsen on the B1 floor with massage chairs. We love the Ping pong table & arcade game area as well. Not many restaurants around but the ramen place next to the hotel is awesome. Came there twice.
