I came here during the Golden Week in early May, which was different from the Golden Week between China and Japan. There were very few people. I visited all the hot springs on the day of check-in. I could also enjoy the public hot springs alone. It was very friendly. If I had known this, I would not have booked a room with a bath. I didn't use it, and the bath in the room was indeed too restrictive.
Also because it was not a public holiday, the small restaurants near the hotel were not open. The hotel itself did not provide lunch. You had to take the bus opposite the hotel back to Shuzenji tram station to eat.
The environment was beautiful, and there were a variety of breakfast and dinner dishes, some delicious and some just average. It is said that you can order a special menu on the local website, including grilled wagyu... I envy it. There are late-night ramen, ice cream, coffee, tea, juice, etc. that are always available.
In short, it was quite enjoyable and comfortable, and it was worth it even if it was a bit expensive.
