The accommodations were very nice, but the check-in process was one of our worst experiences. It was raining and the internet connection kept disconnecting during check-in.

Easy to find location on the trail. Check-in process was confusing. No one available to help in person, only a booth with a poor internet connection on iPad. Breakfast was only 4 pieces of bread.

Inconvenience of NON-HUMAN check-in system

Somehow I did not receive any email from the hotel regarding check-in procedure. Upon arrived do not know where to check-in and nobody around to ask and all doors are lock with digital keypad. Made international call through my print out only they told me the pin to unlock a small check in both outside. Then inside need to communicate by pad video call then where to told to scan QR code to register online. However, just couldn't submit due to unkown error. Chat again then only they help me to register and got the room pin number which is at block B (which was after probably 45mins since we arrived). After that trying to look for block B, no label on the buildings. Got in and find one by one, by the time we got into our room already an hour passed. Due to occupying the check-in both for too long during the check-in, we have irritated a few others waiting outside especially a middle age western couple. They we very rude to us after that and using impolite words after that. Bad experience......

Very recommended!

The place was very comfortable. Rooms were big and spacious, and the futon was great. Also the communication and instructions for check in were good. Food was very tasty, but I would add some extra butter or something. Dinner was exquisite

Beautiful local, great accommodation

Very comfortable and beautiful tatami accommodation. I stayed at the smaller building in the complex. Dinner was cold as it was a bento box delivered in the late afternoon (food was good though). The breakfast only offered a little bread bun, butter and jam for food. Not as good as in other places I stayed after Takahara.

リモートチェックイン

宿の管理人が居ない初めてのリモートチェックインで、手続きに手間取ってしまった。チェックインには予約番号が必要だったが、事前の連絡も無かったので残念。

Comfortable stay, clean rooms

Check in process could be somewhat streamlined but seems to work eventually. Dinner was filling, breakfast could be improved (? four bread rolls). It would be nice to be provided a lunch bento. Rooms were clean and comfortable, shower and toilet facilities commendable.
