The water side room is spacious and the balcony is nice, you can see and listen the stream running and ducks swimming along. However, some rooms are near the walkway and you can see people walking along the stream, (I.e. they can see you as well) and gardener would be working in the morning which produces some noises. Staff are helpful and getting a taxi to stroll around for sightseeing is easy. You can either call the hotel car to travel around the hotel district or just on foot. The area is best for avoiding heat from summer.

Beautiful property, wonderful public onsen, and excellent restaurant. Very peaceful location. While I loved my room (which was high up and overlooked the forest), it involved climbing some very steep stairs. Travelers with mobility issues should be careful about which rooms they reserve. I stayed two nights and wish that I had stayed three.

We are over 85 year old couples and they assigned our room in third floor. Unfortunately no elevator. So we asked first floor instead but were asked for extra charge for over ¥52700 We finally took second floor without extra charge. We are disappointed that one of the best hotel around the world without elevators
