temple view shuttle service locker space limited outlets
The temple view from our room was lovely. It was a treat to wake up to it each morning! the hotel offered a free shuttle service to popular tourist sites. that was convenient and helped us explore without worrying about transportation!
the public bath locker space felt quite small. also, there were not enough outlets in the room. i wished for more options to charge our devices.

Excellent Onsen and Convenient Location
convenient location natural pools well trained staff friendly staff
The hotel is located conveniently near the train station and a bus stop is right in front. This made accessing shopping areas simple. The natural hot spring pools were available 24 hours. I found it enjoyable after a long day. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable.
The water in the public bath seemed stagnant as it didn't appear to have a flow or jets.
Location
9/10
The hotel's location is directly opposite a beautiful temple complex and near an extensive Japanese garden. The train station is also close by. Various metro and bus stops are nearby. This eases transport access around the area, though the parking was expensive.
Rooms

The room included great amenities and was relatively spacious. I found the beds comfortable. The provided amenities were faultless. I also really enjoyed the wonderful onsen. It was one of the highlights of the stay.
