Spacious room with a nice view, great in-house onsens alternating between male and female use at different times of the day, and a cozy coffee room offering complimentary coffee and tea. The staff was very kind and included members with a good command of English. Convenient location, close to the train station and the town's main attractions.

The facilities are very perfect. Ie. shuttle bus from/to hotel to train station and ropeway, varieties of gold and silver onsens in one place are stunning we didn’t have to go other onsens to try both of them. Dinner and breakfast are excellence. Staffs at front and dining room are very professional and great service mind.

Our room was very beautiful and comfortable. The dinner and breakfast were served inside the guest room. The staff serving us was very friendly, and the food was top the notch. We tried both private onsen and public onsen. for us, the public onsen was better; it was outdoor with a nice view, and more spacious.

We stayed in the hotel for one night. When we arrived, we were greeted by staff dressed in traditional Japanese dress who served as green tea and Japanese sweets. We were then escorted to our bedroom where we had a traditional Japanese room. We were then served the most unbelievable dinner in our room, which was truly amazing and the quality of the service was outstanding. Promptly after dinner, the room was cleaned and the futon was laid down and the beds were made in front of us. In the morning the beds were cleared and breakfast was served in our room which was nothing short of a banquet. We chose the western style. Food overall was exceptional. After breakfast, my wife and I made our way to the Private onsen - hot spring for one hour which was more than enough. An unbelievable experience and great value for money. I thoroughly recommend it to everybody if you’re looking for a break on a holiday to really enjoy and take in the Japanese culture.

A true 5 star hotel like they used to be with incredible customer service and facilities. Great swimming pool, restaurants and food. Shuttle bus service to and from the main local train station was very convenient and for free before check in and after check out. I would definitely go back next time I visit Kobe.

It is a traditional onsen so don't expect luxury. Do book a room with a private outdoor bath overlooking the bamboo garden or book a private onsen when you check-in. This is the only way to properly enjoy the property.

It’s understated but in a nice way. Staff are very helpful and welcoming. The private Onsen is so relaxing. It’s a luxury to have it all to yourself. We booked a Kaiseki dinner and it was amazing! A big thank you to the Executive chef Yoshihiro Ogasawara!

The hotel has a luxurious feel to it.. Staff are extremely friendly and courteous, they make you feel like a VIP. The location is great - it’s walking distance from shopping district and the harbour. The room I stayed in had the biggest bathtub that I have ever seen anywhere.
