“5 stars for the room”

My wife and I stayed at this hotel in May 2019. While the hotel does not look particularly flash from the outside, inside it is quite lovely and our room (one of 3 with a private bath) was pretty spectacular. So the room itself had a deck area (with shower facilities and a big pot bath, full and constantly heated) of maybe 20m2, with the inside having a separate raised sleeping area, a living area, and the kitchen/dining area. I'd think the interior would be maybe double the size of a standard Japanese room. Seriously, you would be happy to live in this place . All of the fittings were nice, nothing was cheap or slapped together. A real surprise for the price - around 15000 jpy per person per night, with breakfast. We had the kaiseke on the first night. It was good, nice portions, not too extravagant, not too basic. That was an extra 5000jpy per person, I think it was pretty good value at that. Breakfast was very good, buffet style, mainly Japanese. The room (and bath) looks out over a gully and creek. It looked interesting and was a nice forestry outlook. The hotel is in Onohara which is 5 to 10 minutes from Seibu Chichibu station. Onohara station itself is very quiet and a fair distance from the hotel. I'd suggest a taxi from Seibu Chichibu station would be easier. Finding food options around the hotel isn't easy. Along the trainline there are some other nice towns worth a look. We liked it enough that we figure we will go back, same room, same hotel.
