    Awesome time at Aroma Kotori! We enjoyed or stay here, it was so relaxing and the most incredible food. We highly suggest the breakfast and dinner options. This is a newer facility and very clean. There are 2 rooms downstairs with western beds and 6 Japanese style rooms upstairs. There are sinks with a counter in the rooms and a shared bathroom in the hallway. The upstairs bathroom has 2 toilets and a large counter with 2 sinks. They have wonderful large containers of luxurious Pola soaps and creme in the room. We enjoyed the open lobby area with 2 tables and chairs and large sofa seating area. There is a desktop computer for guests to use and they have a machine which dispenses hot or cold water, coffee or tea. Next to it is a water and ice machine. The coffee is very good both hot or cold. They have 1 indoor Ibsen. You may use the onsen facilities at their neighboring property, Hanamusubi, it is just a few minutes walk. We liked their facility as it had both indoor and outdoor pools on their upper floor. The meals included were wonderful and so filling. Both dinners were at the neighboring hotel and then we went in their onsen after dinner. The first night was kaiseki style which was so tasty and the 2nd night was a choice of Sukiyaki or Shabu Shabu. We chose the later and it was so good with a large plate of Kobe Wagyu meat, veggies, tofu and Udon noodles and then they brought us sashimi. We could not finish all of the food but it was incredible. Definitely recommend this place, it felt more like a comfortable home than a hotel with the large lounge area and we were spoiled using their auto coffee machine all during the day. They will pick you up from the station and drop you off. We took the cable car/ bus/ ropeway up (1750Yen combo ticket) and really enjoyed that as it was very scenic and fun. We called them from the top of the ropeway station and they we waiting to pick us up when we arrived. We highly recommend this beautiful, clean and charming hotel.

    Affordable prices. Free 45 minute onsen session provided. Recommended if you don’t mind sharing the washroom with other guests as there’s no toilet in the room. I haven’t seen any other guests when I was in the washroom so it wasn’t too much of a negative for me.

    Packaged dinner and breakfast was amazing for our visit. Always someone to greet us and access to the baths was the reason we came, to relax!

    Great location, affordable yet luxurious. Our dinner and breakfast were incredible and enjoyed our private onsen session which we were able to reserve for free. Service felt very professional.

    Perfect mountain view from our room. They also provide pick up service from the station. At kotori, they have silver hotspring, which you need to book your time (45mins per room). It is not convenient if you dont take hotspring or you dont share with your room mate as i did not find any shower room in this hotel. Meals wise, the breakfast was big and plentiful, really satisfying. And the dinner at their sister hotel was superb, menu change every month. I highly recommend hanamusubi if you have budget as they have both gold and silver hotspring. Also to enjoy the traditional way of Japanese hospitality.

    Overall staying experience exceeded our expectation. With the price, we were pleasantly surprised with the food quality and the bath. Personally we did not mind the shared toilet (as it was clean), and short walking to the sister Ryokan to enjoy the 'Gold bath' and dinner. We really enjoy the cosy environment of this Ryokan.
