The bugs near the outdoor onsen, but can’t prevent that :(

The onsen was very nice! When the sky is clear, can see the stars while in the onsen :)

It looks like in its heyday, which was perhaps in the 60s, it was a very nice hotel. But it’s just a little bit tired now. Nonetheless, it had plenty of facilities. Pillows are a bit rubbish. Room had a nice view.

I could smell some smells from kitchen/restaurant in my room.

good location, onsen, japanese style room

The old carpet and damaged wall paper made it feel sad, as if it had once been great but now was just old. The view from the rooftop spa was blocked with an ugly plastic fence, and the lighting prevented us from seeing stars. The unkempt garden in back and the rusted fire stairs contributed to the old, sad feeling. It had the potential to be a grand place, but instead it felt neglected. Someone on staff should speak fluent English or at least there should be some written materials in English to provide cultural context.

This was an authentic Japanese cultural learning experience! The staff was courteous. This felt like it was seeped in mid-20th century history, but even older cultural patterns. The breakfast was an amazing presentation. Don’t miss Taiko Drumming with Kado and the Sado City museum.

Our whole floor smelled strangely and strongly of cooked cabbage (or something similar).

A traditional Japanese hotel with an amazing view of the lake. Note for Americans (and maybe Europeans) the family sized Japanese-style rooms have an entry way (that contains the sink and doors to toilet room and shower/bath), a room with tatami mats, and a narrow sitting room with 2 chairs to enjoy the view. The room with tatami mats has a low table and floor seating AND is the “bed” room with futon cushions that go on the floor to create the beds. (It was comfortable but just an FYI as the pictures on here are confusing). The Japanese breakfast was very good. We really liked the location overall.

That we can’t have a meal in the property cause we did not reserve during reservations.

Very clean and very nice view from our balcony. Classy Japanese place and the staff very helpful.

Night life around this area.. was kinda depressing area, not many restaurants/Izakaya were opened, although food store we found was around the corner. Took quite a time to go visit the Sado gold mine.

Staffs were all very nice, clean facility, our room had enough space and comfortable, on the water, Onsen was really nice, etc

It was a bit worn in the public areas.

Room size was incredible! We had a view of the water.

Although a bit dated interior and facilities, it is a great value for money stay. With onsen and rotenburo on the roof. Also, nearby enough places to eat at night😊

The one thing that bothered me was that the air conditioning was weak but that’s minor especially during night

The view from the room was absolutely beautiful especially during sunset. It’s not a far walk from a few really good restaurants and the beach. Also the onsen was clean and relaxing

The hotel simply needed a refresh. The outside showed just how the climate affects buildings here. Otherwise we knew what we were getting, so shabby chic was fine.

This once grand hotel is now a little tired but still a great place to stay. We had a family room Japanese style overlooking the lake. The bath house inside was well equipped and large, but looked very pink like a 1970's hairdressers. The outside bath on the roof, only open during the hours when the inside bath was closed, was more basic but fun to be outdoors watching the birds on the thermals above us. They still have local dancers to entertain guests each evening. It was an opportunity to see some cultural activities that were specific to Sado Island. The breakfast was in a small dining room overlooking the lake. I think the bus tour guests ate in a larger dining room as there were only a few people in ours. The food was local and excellent, and each dish was explained to us by staff. It varied each day.
