"This is a great onsen hotel. First, regarding transportation: the hotel is near Izu-Kogen JR station, about a 10-15 minute walk. However, I highly recommend against walking with luggage as there are many uphill sections. The hotel offers a shuttle bus service from the JR station in the afternoon, reportedly every 15 minutes. After booking, the hotel will inform you of the bus schedule. One thing to note is that the bus stops in the parking lot and the hotel name on the bus is 'Hachiman-no-Onsen-no-Sato' (八幡野温泉之乡), not 'Kira-no-Sato' (基拉之乡) as listed on Ctrip.
Next, let's talk about the hotel environment and facilities. It has a rustic resort style, with farmland, a waterwheel, and a stream within the premises, creating a very pleasant and tranquil atmosphere. We chose a Japanese-style room on the second floor; there's no elevator, and while the room facilities are a bit old, they are well-maintained. The public bath (dai-yokujo) has several pools, both indoor and outdoor, which are quite nice.
Finally, about the service: This hotel seems to be a traditional four-star onsen hotel. The staff's service is attentive and efficient, but not overly enthusiastic. The front desk offers complimentary drinks, and there are free snacks at different times of the day. Both the breakfast and dinner, included with the 'one night, two meals' plan, were excellent. Over half of the hotel guests are Japanese. Overall, it was a very good experience."
