I travel 11 hours to Japan, got to the hotel day refuse checking me in

Great surprise!

We loved this hotel. Things to keep in mind: no one speaks English and their entire room service is only in Japanese. The location is in the middle of nowhere, and it’s a little bit of a walk to a bus station, so we personally used uber. But the amenities made it worth it. Our private onsen was stunning. It was spacious, relaxing and so nice after traveling all day. The food was delicious as well! Normally you’d think hotel room service will be subpar but their menu is huge! And they delivered breakfast to our door every morning which is a nice treat before adventures. I personally would only get a suite room here for the extreme value and experience. It’s spacious and clean. The beds are extremely firm, though, so beware if that’s not your preference. All in all, we will stay here again. As long as you’re okay with Ubers and being away from a lot of big locations (Legoland, etc).

Very clean, efficient, quiet, comfortable, nice included breakfast.

The room was OK, small size but enough for what it's used. We didn't have any problems and the staff were helpful. The bed was too firm, as it tends to be the case in most places in Japan. The pillow in the room was like a brick. Luckily you can go downstairs and choose a different pillow from some shelves, which we didn't find in other hotels. There were "welcome drinks" from 18-20h with some soft and alcoholic drinks, free of charge. Breakfat was OK. Unlike most hotels we stayed, there were some of western options; granola, fruit salad, yogurt and croissants. Which really make a difference when you are not used to have rice and fish or meat for breakfast.
