Shikisai really impressed us with its spacious room and fine view of the woods. Enjoyed the outdoor private onsen at night under the stars, super relaxing! Access was a bit tricky without a car, though.

Saw deer while enjoying the outdoor onsen.

The onsen was fantastic and never crowded. I saw monkeys while soaking in my private bath. such a serene vibe!

Access was a hassle. no elevator means carrying luggage up multiple flights of stairs. No hot sauna available, limiting post-bath relaxation options. Lack of English proficiency among reception staff created minor confusion during check-in, particularly in room assignment.

I enjoyed the spacious room with a beautiful view of the woods and had a relaxing experience soaking in the private onsen under the stars. However, the lack of shuttle service after 6 PM made transportation difficult, and carrying luggage up multiple flights of stairs was inconvenient.

A Memorable Night Surrounded by Nature

I enjoyed a spacious room that seamlessly blended with nature. The views were breathtaking. However, remember to pre-order dinner, as the hotel is remote and options nearby are limited. The relaxing onsen experience was a highlight. Bring some snacks from a local store to avoid dinner woes!

great stay but room for improvement

The private onsen on the balcony offered a serene experience, especially at night under the stars. The meals were intricate and delicious, showcasing traditional Japanese cuisine beautifully. The shared onsens provided a variety of experiences, particularly the outdoor ones surrounded by nature's sounds.

The access to the hotel was a bit challenging, requiring a 10-minute walk from the nearest road.
