"My first night in Japan 2024 Trip. In a faraway county. Very peaceful. I drove there alone in the darkness. Thought that there might be very few people there. But I met so many grandmas stayed there as a large group. Met them in onsen too. Very strange experience but very touch. Can feel of aging society. The ryokan guys also booked a local izakaya for me, so I had dinner easily, no need to nervous there won’t be a seat. The Room was so nice and big. Many hidden rooms inside. Would be much better if they haven’t prepared ice water for me during early winter. (I need normal temp water or hot water) Breakfast was great Overall was great I love this place. Very relax and no tourist. I spent the morning in a small garden in front of the hotel alone. Listen to water sound. Recharged my energy."

"I stayed at the KAIJU Tsugaru. The hotel has a somewhat dated feel, with some facilities being a bit old, but it was still kept clean. If you need to book a pick-up and drop-off service before departure, you need to obtain a reservation number from the hotel and then register on their website; the process is a bit cumbersome. One of the hotel's signature features is its apple-themed hot spring bath, where apples are placed in the water, giving it a subtle fruity aroma. However, the actual apple-themed hot spring bath I saw differed somewhat from the official photos; it wasn't as beautiful as I had imagined, which was a little disappointing. On the positive side, there weren't many guests during my stay. Most of the time, there were only one or two people soaking in the hot spring, making it very quiet and comfortable, allowing me to slowly enjoy my soak. The service was also excellent; all the staff were very polite, and the overall service made me feel very welcome."

"There is no staff at the front desk, so you need to call to call them. There are no amenities, only towels."

"Used on tour. It was already dark outside when I took the bus, so I was wondering where I was going to be taken, but it turned out to be a hotel at the top of a mountain. The size of the room was perfect, and there were three beds. The meal was a buffet and there wasn't a lot of variety, but I enjoyed a lot of local cuisine. It also included an all-you-can-drink option, so I was able to fully enjoy the hotel's unique wine. There is a wine tasting corner next to the front desk, and you buy a 1,000 yen or 2,000 yen card at the front desk and drink from the tasting machine. Since the price per cup is different and you don't have change, you have to be smart about the combinations. This was also quite fun. There are ski resorts and golf courses in the surrounding area, and the scenery is beautiful, so if you have time, I think it would be a good idea to take a walk around the area."

"One night stay includes breakfast and dinner, which is very high for the hot spring hotel. This hot spring hotel is located in the suburbs and we chose as a transit place to rest, so it suits us. The proprietress can communicate in simple English. Our room has already opened the heater when we arrived, which is great. After a day of running, you can take a good bath and have a delicious dinner, which is really great. The breakfast in the morning is also very rich and delicious."
