Perfect location next to the Shinkyo bridge. Many staff members were English speaking. Highly recommend doing the dinner and breakfast as food was exceptional and better than some Michelin rated restaurants in my opinion.

Location was perfect. Super central. Also tucked away in a lush area just off the main and only street. 3 min walk to main bus route and scenic bridge. Booking a private onsen was super easy and a great experience.
