Although the room was compact, the space was cleverly designed with a separate toilet, private hot spring bath, and even a TV to enjoy while soaking. The tatami mat fragrance filled the room, creating a truly Japanese atmosphere. In the evening, the staff kindly laid out the futon, and both the pillow and mattress had just the right firmness for a perfect night’s sleep. The bath amenities were of excellent quality, with no detail overlooked—complete with lotion, toner, hair treatment, and even a Dyson hairdryer.
The hotel facilities were also impressive, featuring an outdoor hot spring, milk tea, soft drinks, and beer Buffet. At night, freshly made hot spring eggs were served, thoughtfully paired with salt. Both dinner and breakfast were abundant and beautifully prepared—enough to satisfy even the hungriest guests.
The only downside was the road leading to the hotel, which could be inconvenient for travelers with luggage, as it involves a sloped 10-minute walk from the lively Yufuin Yunotsubo Street. That said, I would highly recommend this hotel to travelers with a car who want to fully experience Japanese culture in comfort.
