The old lady who runs the place is incredibly kind and can manage basic English conversations. You have to book your private onsen time at the front desk each day, and while there are only two small baths, they are very clean. The breakfast and dinner are absolutely delicious. It's literally 10 meters behind the Ritz-Carlton, which costs 9,000 yen a night, so staying here feels like saving 8,000 yen a night, haha! It's just a 5-minute walk from the boat pier and Kegon Falls. You can even see a corner of Lake Chuzenji from the room window, and we saw a rainbow after the rain 🌈. If you turn left when you go out, there's a udon restaurant where you can grab lunch if you get there early. The old lady is strict about not checking in before 3 PM. She's also a stickler for cleanliness; if you bring your own bento, you have to eat it on the long bench outside the entrance.
