a weekend night out during business trip in Osaka. the hotel is a bit walk from the train station. the receptionist and waitress speak good English. the Onsens are fantastic with three to choose from. breakfast and dinner set meals are delicate with local produces.
The hotel is amazing with different types of onsen, especially the outdoor onsen that everyone should try. The staff are nice and helpful and no problem with English. The view is wonderful as well as a little river across the hotel.
Ok, so when I booked I must have been rushed and just thought it was expensive. Turns out I got the dinner and breakfast option and was so glad I did. The 9-course dinner will leave you wanting it to never end and yet unable to eat much more.
The property has three private Onsen (hot-springs) which makes things just so much more convenient. And the town itself is lovely.
There are direct (and slow) local buses from nearby and from Osaka and Kyoto. Watch luggage on local buses as there is no storage other than your lap.
I highly recommend this town and hotel
