Onsen included a cold pool which is different option than other public bath area of hotels. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Lobby is up on 3rd floor. Staff so helpful!

The hotel was beautiful and just outside the entrance to the train station. It was a fun fairly short walk to the park to see the Sika deer and the temples. Lots of shopping on the way up and back and so many restaurants. Rooms were clean and the beds had padding. The pillows were not the buckwheat pillows so it was very comfortable.
