It's a great onsen on the best location. City center. Big, with 3 warm to hot baths and one very cold, wet sauna and dry sauna, relaxation hall and even massage if you want. ( Extra payment)

Appears to be men's only hotel and overall I did not like it. If you really want to go to the spa do it as a day trip. Broken down ratings 0-5 Location: 5 Close to a lot of things and good food Cleanliness: 2 The hotel has old carpet, I don't think that can really ever be clean... Not gross, but since they don't want you to wear shoes or slippers it's uncomfortable. Pod and bathroom were ok, but the air did not smell clean. Pod comfort: 2 Thin foam pads and cheap blankets. Also no ventilation in the pod so it was hot and it smelled like smoke and air freshener. I think the smoking room ventilation went into the rest of the building... That being said it was pretty quiet. Amenities: 3.5 There is a Japanese style bath and a relaxing room with manga and a restaurant. If you like that it may be good for you, I did not find either place very comfortable. Also lockers for your stuff are very very narrow. No way you could fit a hard luggage case. I had to take things out of my backpack to fit and it's not a large one. Atmosphere and staff: 2 It felt sleazy. At first I thought I went to a love hotel. There were gambling machines in the smoke room on the pods floor and many many massage ads. Also as a mostly English speaker the staff were not very helpful, but they did have a mostly understandable handout about the hotel.

good public bath, few pool, sauna, steam room,decent breakfast

I would suggest that anyone taller than 6`4 go somewhere else. place is clean and appealing. wonder if there is a capsule for tall people.

I got the upgraded "room", which was a good choice. The building was difficult to find and the staff doesn't speak much English. I had my own sandals, but they made me wear theirs. Overall, it was a positive experience and I'd recommend it for a solo male traveler.
