I had a wonderful stay with fantastic views over the smoking lava fields. The rooms were spacious and beautifully designed, offering a unique experience with both tatami mats and a comfy bed. The staff was incredibly helpful and warm. On the downside, the location felt a bit remote, and while the breakfast was nice, it could have had more variety.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, even though there were a few hiccups. The location was unbeatable and had a charming, family-run feel. The rooms were spacious and nicely designed, but I did notice a lingering smell of smoke. The staff went above and beyond to assist us, especially during a time of uncertainty due to an earthquake. All in all, it was good value, but there’s room for improvement, particularly in the dining area.

The hotel had a unique blend of Western and Japanese elements, making it comfortable with a nice view of the geothermal area. However, the cleanliness was a major concern, especially with the outdated and filthy rattan couch. The service from the staff was attentive, but the overall dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations. It’s a bit remote, which might be inconvenient for some, but the surroundings have their charm.
