ゲゲストIn short: Not worth the price I have been to Japan for quite a number of times, and visiting an onsen/hotspring town has become a routine for me. The price of this onsen hotel was on the higher side, the cost of my stay was USD485 for 2 persons, with in-room breakfast and dinner included. The appearance of the hotel was old and required some maintenance, but the interior could still be considered as classic and Japanese-elegant. Room was well-equipped, clean and very spacious. There were several onsen locations within the hotel, and its sister-property, but I didn't think they were of great difference. All of the locations were with similar view or no view at all, and the onsen water felt like the same for me (perhaps I was not an expert). Private onsen required an extra JPY2200, which was usually free in other onsen hotels. Dinner was served individually in room over a 2-hour duration, in my opinion, which was a bit long. It felt like a slow service restaurant rather than a high-end dining experience. The tempura was served in room temperature, and the oil had already become visible, implying the tempura had probably waited for some time in room temperature. Other dishes were good, but nothing too exceptional. Same for the breakfast as well. Vending machine could be found in the lobby of the hotel, but all alcoholic drinks must be sold through hotel souvenir shop / in-room minibar, price was reasonable though. One free cup of Asahi beer for each guest from 5-7pm, which was generous. Hotel provided shuttle service to ropeway station, bus station and JR station on-request, which was very convenient as there was no need to wait for a particular time. Staff service was excellent. Everything in this hotel was OK, with some ”good” and ”excellent”, but it was still a very average hotel with nothing too exception. Therefore, I did not consider it worthed its high-price.
YYushanchangIt’s my second time to visit this hot spring resort. I had good time again.It’s great service as my first time experience. I had the 精進料理 for dinner. The waitress told me the name of the vegetable ,how did the chief cook it and what’s the benefit of my healthy.I really enjoy my birthday vegan dinner. There are two rooms and one yard next to my private bath room. I can see the bird in the yard and enjoy my bath in the room. Great staff , Nice room and definitely will come back again.這次是第二次造訪,因為第一次體驗很好所以選擇生日時候來這裡度假放鬆。餐點是精進料理,女服務生對於蔬菜的解說很詳細,我感受到日本人的文化及專業的服務。很享受的生日晚宴。房間裡包含有日式房跟洋式房及一間私人庭院泡澡浴缸及庭院。早晨拉開紙門可以看到庭院的鳥兒叫,陽光透過樹葉灑落在榻榻米上,喝杯茶走到庭院感受有馬山林的空氣,有淡淡的竹子味道,還可以在自己的浴缸看到綠意的庭院,享受早晨的寧靜。當然早餐也是很棒的享受,健康飲食讓身體沒有負擔,整個人可以沈澱的心靈跟身體的resort.感覺很好還會再來。
