行ってよかった。
Pros:

お部屋をグレードアップしてくださいました。
スタッフの方は、とても親切でした。会う都度挨拶くだいさいました。
このお宿の温泉は、私の行ったなかでも、おそらく最高峰です。暗さ（明るさ）、温度、湿度、静寂。
お宿の方には失礼ですが、それほど人も多くなかった。
私はおすすめのお宿です。

Cons:

ありません。

Cons:

מיושן. הצוות לא אדיב. האונסן מאכזב מאוד. במיוחד למישהו שהיה באונסים באזורים אחרים ביפן

Ein wunderbares, großzügig angelegtes Hotel mit schönen und großen Räumen. Yucatan und Jacken waren in allen Größen vorhanden. Das Onsen war großartig, sauber und bestens ausgestattet.
Die Pflegeprodukte im ganzen Haus sind hochwertig.
Das Abendessen und das Frühstück waren reichhaltig, abwechslungsreich und köstlich.
Das Angebot an Getränken, Snacks und Eis im Lounge Bereich war gut und angenehm.

Pros:

帰るときまでは、食事、施設、温泉、スタッフ全てよかった

Cons:

実は山形駅で傘を忘れてしまいまして、傘を持っていませんでした。帰るとき、雨が降っており、バスターミナル待て10分ほど歩くため、困っていました。売店に傘は売っていなかったので、ホテルの傘を貸してもらえないかと頼みました。が、ホテルに返せないので駄目だと言われました。駄目かと思っていましたが、何かもっと親身になって相談にのってくれるかと思いましたが、とてもあっさりしていて、本当にどうしようか悲しくなりました。そこまではとても印象が良いスタッフの対応でしたので、とても残念でした。

Very nice comfortable hotel
Pros:

Looks like hotel did full renovation but only rooms. Lobby looks very outdated and old fashioned. Rooms are really great, big, clean, super comfortable. Double room is big enough for 3 person. Onsen is greate, clean and beautiful. Parking is closed to property.

Cons:

Breakfast buffet is very limited and has very few vegetation options. No room service. We arrived at 6 pm that was late to reserve the dinner. So we needed to look for the food in other places.

Pros:

這是一間質感非凡且令人感到極為舒心的頂級酒店！這次在這裡度過了一晚一泊二食的悠閒時光。能直接搭乘旁邊的纜車上山別有一番樂趣。

入住的套房令人驚艷不已，空間寬敞明亮，乾淨舒適得讓人一進房就徹底放鬆。晚餐會席料理都以精緻的和牛為主軸，且每天都有不同的菜色變化，份量相當豐盛大方；早餐的自助餐品項雖不繁複，但每道料理都做得極為精細美味。

Pros:

It was a very comfortable, quiet place. The public and private onsens were very nice and relaxing. There was complimentary tea, coffee and juice with snacks every day, with the option to sit at a comfortable table looking out at the waterfall garden. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

It's an uphill walk to get to the hotel unless you take the shuttle.
