Nice hotel. It has several rooms and only one shared room woomen-only. So it's not like ordinary hotel. It's not far from bus station, but the way may be tough for older people or if you have heavy luggage. There is very nice area with Japanese garden view and tatami. There is an onsen which you can book for 40 min every day. Onsen is in a near building through beautiful alley. Onaen is aslso clean and in a good condition. After onsen there is a free massage chair. They give yukatas. Closest 7/11 about 10 min walking. There is an opportunity to order breakfast and dinner in the hotel. It's not a ryokan, but a nice place to stay surrounded by mountains. They have free one-way morning shuttles to Gora or Museum. There is also a short way to reach Gora, but only if you like stairs. Not a way with suitcases or grandparents.

This is the first time I've stayed in a hostel with an onsen! The onsen while small, does the job, and the outdoor onsen was really peaceful at night. I booked a queen bed for 2 people and it was spacious enough for me to hold all my belongings. Hostel staff were really friendly as well. One thing to note though is if you're planning to stay here, getting here from Hatsune-Yumato station requires a very steep climb up the road and a trek through the forest, so do NOT attempt to walk here yourself! Take the K-line bus instead, which drops you 100m away from the hostel.
