- The meals were simply the best, showcasing a variety of dishes made with high-quality ingredients and excellent cooking and seasoning.
- The bathwater was colorless and odorless, lacking a hot spring atmosphere, but having the outdoor bath to ourselves was very pleasant.
- There is no elevator, requiring guests to navigate stairs from the second floor to the basement bath.
- I honestly can’t say the location is good; it’s about a 5-minute walk to a convenience store and costs around 1100 to 1500 yen for a taxi from Shintama Station.
- A bus option exists if timing is right, but a taxi is recommended due to the distance.
- The suite I booked offered satisfactory size at a minimal price difference compared to the deluxe room.
- We had a very comfortable room, and the public baths, with both indoor and outdoor sections, were extremely enjoyable.
- The staff was particularly friendly and attentive, enhancing our overall experience.
- Breakfast was excellent, in our opinion, adding to the positive stay.
- We stayed for one night in a two-room accommodation for six people, including two children; the natural hot spring water was delightful.
- The kaiseki dinner/breakfast was excellent, making it a perfect place for relaxation.
- I think there was an izakaya nearby, but we were too full from dinner to explore.
- The rooms are covered with tatami, though some may find the smell unavoidable.
- The outdoor hot springs are great, with spacious and clean rooms and friendly staff.
- I usually eat only one bowl of rice, but here I enjoyed three bowls due to the delicious curry.
- Everything is good, but the distance from key locations is notable; aside from that, it deserves a perfect score of 100 points.
