Great experience.

Enjoyed the onsens so much here. The restaurant service was great, food was great and the staff were so friendly with our little boy.(thank you for your patience and smile!) The Japanese style room was cozy and not humid at all. We were lucky that it snowed a few times during our stay. Waking up to a beautiful snowing view outside the window was amazing. Great experience.

-The kaiseki dinner was excellent, offering a great selection and a private dining space. -The breakfast buffet also had plenty of choices. -I last visited a few years ago — the hot spring was outstanding back then, quiet and relaxing. This time, it seems to have been renovated, and the number of guests has clearly increased. -On a side note, there was an uncomfortable incident in the onsen area: a woman (who spoke English and appeared to be Chinese) was holding a mobile phone under her yukata, seemingly taking photos. It made me feel quite uneasy. I noticed there were clear signs prohibiting cameras, so the rules were well communicated — it was simply a matter of someone not being self-disciplined. I reported it afterward to the staff, who were ready to respond immediately, though I only approached them later. I appreciated their quick reaction and willingness to help. -Perhaps having occasional staff patrols in the onsen area could help prevent such incidents in the future.

If you just want to relax, bring something back from 711, and go bath-hopping in Taiko no yu within Hotel, this is your place. Shuttles to station and ropeway, but some steep hills to get here and around town to other baths. All cost entrance fees.

The hotel has a lot of public hot bath option, and also many spa menu they have, but I could not make reservation even tough after check in around 15:30. The spa and public baths are very popular for day time visitor so I recommend to make reservation ahead of time, if you want spa menu. Dinner was wonderful full course Japanese Kaiseki. I will be back with my family.

a great onsen place with lots to offer. Many different types of onsen as well. Love the experience. Will come back for sure. The only thing you have to watch out for is. Take the shuttle bus and try not to walk up the really steep hill to the hotel. It is definitely some cardio exercise. But, if you take the shuttle bus, which is very convenient, you will save yourself some harsh exercise.
