"Lately, I've had many buffet-style meals, but perhaps because of my age, I can't eat that much, and wandering around with a tray is a hassle. So, it was nice to have a relaxing meal instead."

"Very good. The environment is beautiful. The reception was friendly and smiling. The hotel's information, including instructions on how to lay out the futon in the room and how to make the sukiyaki for dinner, is available in English. This is very convenient for visitors from English-speaking countries. Yukata patterns are also available in a variety of colors. The hot spring water is alkaline sulfur and leaves a smooth, silky feeling on the skin."

"The location near the station is great, but it's a shame there weren't any restaurants nearby."

"I stayed at Beautiful Kamiya Resort for two nights. Location location location! At Mitake station there are lockers to store luggage. They fit a carry on for sure but maybe even a large suitcase. 500 yen for up to three days. I was outdoors the majority of the time but was at ease knowing a comfortable warm bed and hot bath awaits me. The kitchen is very basic but good for simple meals. Electric cook top, microwave, hot water pot, refrigerator etc. The bad tub is almost as large as a car. Separate toilet and tub areas. Lots of power outlets throughout. Plenty of hot water and clean towels. There is some traffic noise but not a big deal at least for me. This area is absolutely beautiful. Mountains, trees, river, friendly shop keepers and amazing hiking. It rained everyday except my last day of course. It was not really a rain but more like a Seattle mist. I was able to hike the entire main loop but did not peak Mt Otake as I did not have the correct footwear. There is a bus from 30 yards south of the Mitake train station that departs to the Mt Mitake cable car. The entire day round trip is about 1200 yen but honestly I did not keep track down to the penny. I had the most delicious cold udon dish ever at the Small village about 1/2 mile hike above the cable car station. They used local mountain vegetables. My first time ever to taste wild Miatake mushroom tempura. I was in heaven! Cons: no convenience stores in the area however there is a small store between the public train station restrooms and the train station. Lights from the street and nearby buildings come through some windows but there is a window shuttle that can be closed. It's 5-7 minutes walk to and from the Mitake train station. Having a car would be more convenient. I did not try any taxi service so I'm not sure if there is the option."

"This place surpassed all our expectations. Incredibly friendly, helpful staff, fabulous food, comfortable room, clean facilities. Very quiet at night. Lovely to stay on the mountain easy access for hiking the area. Be sure to take dinner and breakfast option."

"The room was very clean, the host was very welcoming, spoke English, and drove us to our destination for free the next morning. His family also organizes river tracing activities, let’s go in the summer!"
