The environment is very good but the facilities are a bit older than expected

The hotel is a 20-minute drive from Gaoshan Station. You can ask Ctrip customer service in advance to contact the hotel through an agent to pick you up at Gaoshan Station. However, there is a bus every hour in the afternoon, and the latest one is 1630. If it is later, you need to go to the hotel by yourself. In fact, it is only 4.1km away from Hida Ichinomiya Station and takes five minutes by car. We missed the bus in front and JR was also delayed. It was after 7pm when we arrived at Ichinomiya. The station was very small and there was nothing inside. There was no one around, so I called the hotel and asked them to pick us up. The attitude was very good and enthusiastic. The staff communicated in simple English and had no problem. Even though it was a lot late, they prepared dinner for us. The room is large and looks quite new, and the heating equipment is in place. Each room has an hour reserved for private bathing at night. The rest of the time is separate for men and women. The kaiseki dinner was pretty good, and the breakfast felt average but very filling. I really like the fireplace in the lobby. It is so comfortable to sit for a while after taking a bath.

Une expérience traditionnelle géniale Un lieu magique au bord de la rivière. Les chambres sont immenses et très belles. Le Onsen privatisable est génial. Le personnel est d’une gentillesse et d’une patience extrêmes, surtout que nous avons beaucoup changé nos plans sur les horaires d’arrivée et de départ et jamais ils ne se sont départis de leur sourire et de leur efficacité à trouver des solutions à tout. Le petit déjeuner typique japonais avec beaucoup de poissons est un peu « hard » pour un occidental, mais c’est un bon moyen de s’imprégner de cette culture fascinante et des traditions japonaises, tout comme la nuit sur des futons, confortables néanmoins. Merci pour cette expérience !
