onsen is in excellent condition. separate baths for women and men. each bath had three rooms. an entry, prep area, and the bathing/soaking room, which is very warm, like a sauna. onsen is immaculate. quite large. mens bathing area accomodates about 15 or so individual bathing stools. womens probably the same. onsen is in separate building behind hotel. access through nicely decorated short hallway. breakfast was great. traditional japanese. multicourse. delicious. our room was in good condition. new tatami mats. new room dividers. closet had several extra futons. so i used three for me alone. very comfortable sleeping. hotel is in a quiet area away from the road. staff is friendly and helpful. they arranged baggage delivery to our hotel in toyoma, and sure nuf, it was there when we arrived after alpine route. walls need new wallpaper, but i can't complain given that other ryokans in the area charge two to three times as much.
