Hotel itself was great - nice onsen baths indoors and outdoors. Breakfast was plentiful and offered a good selection, mostly of Japanese food. The beds sat low, but were very comfortable.

Stayed 2 days at the hotel and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the hotel and the friendliness of the staff. They even had a English speaking staff to assist foreign tourists. I really felt "omotenashi" during my stay here. The facilities were great too and I'm so happy that they had free washing machine. You just needed to pay another 100 yen to dry your clothes for 20 mins. It was great that you could enjoy the onsen, wait for your laundry to finish, then enjoy the free ice-cream or probiotic drink after the onsen. Had breakfast during the New Year period and the food was great. There was a change in the menu on day 2, so I was impressed.

Hotel was modern and spacious (by Japan standards). Breakfast buffet was excellent. Staff were very helpful. Also liked the ramen served at night and the onsen.

Although we weren’t crazy about having to put our shoes in a locker every time we entered the hotel, the fact that the floors throughout the hotel completely tatami was a novel touch, and there were nice little Japanese design features in the rooms and the hallways (see pictures). The range of food for the breakfast was wide and fresh (you can watch them making the tempura)

- amazing rooftop onsen (from the women’s bath little window you can see the castle!) - with free ice cream afterwards - big rooms, with comfortable beds and cute decorations to give a traditional feeling (even the ceiling had 2 different types of wood paneling. Mine had a view of the canal. Higher ones could have a castle or lake view. - amazing breakfast buffet, with a lot of local specialties (Izumo soba, zenzai…) - within walking distance of the castle and historical houses.

Clean hotel with traditional feel to it (tatami mats, samues). Very friendly staff (bit tricky with English but they had some translation app on little handheld devices). Lovely large onsen on the rooftop with views over matsue and lake shinji. Lovely large breakfast buffet. Absolutely loved the free massage chairs.

This was the most amazing hotel we stayed in on our whole trip - it was the perfect balance of modern and traditional and every detail was just beautiful. The whole hotel is shoe-free tatami mats - all 11 floors and all rooms. Each wall is a different stunning rice paper, the windows have sliding rice paper screens. There are flowers everywhere and the hot springs onsen baths on the roof are just heavenly. Breakfast was incredible with so many tasty delights we ate several courses every morning. The showers are just wonderful and the room last spacious and comfortable. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and the whole stay was just perfect. Try the free refreshing melon popsicle after your onsen experience- so divine…. We will look forward to coming again!

Wonderful, spacious, clean, and comfortable hotel room. I was lucky enough to upgrade to a King room at check-in, and it was perfect. The hotel is within easy walking distance to city sights and the main train station with lots of good restaurants nearby. The evening ramen was great and there were hot drinks available as well. A few convenience stores are close by too. You leave your shoes in lockers near reception as the hotel has tatami floors. It was very cold in Matsue when I was there (lots of snow) but the room was nice and warm.

The mattress and pillows were extremely comfortable, so I slept like a baby every single night. The room was also super nice with the tatami flooring. Very cosy. Actually the whole place feels cosy and helps relax. The free half ramen every evening was also a very nice touch. Also this hotel is very conveniently located: it's close to Matsue Castle, close to the Shimano Art Museum, close to locations where you can take beautiful pictures of the sun setting on lake Shinji, close to ferry terminals to go on lake Shinji, close to Matsue Shinjiko Onsen Station from where you can take the local Ichibata trains to places like Izumo or Matsue Vogel Park.

The onsen was excellent, both indoor and outdoor baths. The free night ramen was excellent. The hotel cleanliness was wonderful, and the staff was incredibly polite and helpful. They have free yakult and ice cream near the onsen, as well.
