"For the rather off-the-beaten-path location of "Onne-yu Onsen" in Rube City, "Oe Honke" is an excellent inn. It's clearly a family-run business, with incredibly friendly and attentive staff, which was very satisfying. The spring water quality is also exceptionally high; the alkaline, skin-brightening properties of the hot spring are a major selling point, and the fact that it's a direct-flowing spring is a testament to its quality. Those who appreciate hot springs will recognize its excellence. I especially loved the moderate temperature of the water, making it perfect for those who don't frequently use hot springs, allowing for extended soaking and a true enjoyment of the excellent water. I say this in contrast to locals who are accustomed to very hot springs and find excessively hot water unbearable; otherwise, even the highest quality water is useless. Therefore, I truly loved the hot spring at this inn—the water was of high quality and at the perfect temperature! Regarding the "family-run inns" mentioned above, I especially want to point out that the inns themselves, and indeed the Onone-Yu Onsen resort, clearly reflect the rise and fall they have experienced throughout history. Even so, the Oe Honke inn still stands today, and the rooms and still-open public areas are generally kept clean and bright, which shows considerable effort and is very satisfying. However, there is one obvious drawback: the quality of the food. My dinner and breakfast were both buffet style. Although the venue was large and the variety seemed extensive, closer inspection revealed that the food was not high-end, and even lacked the attention to detail of the "local specialties" commonly found in onsen inns. I don't know how to put it, but it just felt strange. There were many visual choices, but I couldn't bring myself to buy anything; it was as if I wanted to skip everything, even giving it a slightly "tourist group meal" feel. Also, I noticed that the food was often refilled to the brim, but at the end of the meal, large piles were thrown away, all wasted. Even as a guest, I felt very sorry for the waste. If the food quality is due to cost considerations, I think the inn should pay close attention to this aspect of its management. Speaking of which, if you don't want to eat at the hotel's mediocre buffet, and there aren't many other options outside, then Ruhei City's Onone-Yu Onsen-kyo is a very declining onsen town. Considering the high quality of the spring water, its decline is truly regrettable. Overall, considering the staff service and the quality of the spring water, I am generally satisfied with this visit."

"Good and clean room according compared with price"

"Location is convenient with parking available within vicinity (paid). Centrally located with many restaurants nearby. Good place to stop by for a night on our road trip towards east Hokkaido."

"The explanation given by the male staff member who helped me was vague and difficult to understand. I will not use this service again."

"The service was excellent."

"This hotel is good enough for just a stay. The rooms are clean and the internet speed is decent."

"I recommend checking in early because the night view is beautiful! The food selection is extensive, and since most of the guests are Japanese, it was a quiet dining experience."

"Nice environment"

"It’s a great small town where cheap for yakiniku, and not long queue to those popular places like torri (sushi restaurant), phamarcy, nearby drinking place with great atmosphere."
