I stayed there two years ago.The food is delicious, the rooms are clean, the atmosphere is classical to your liking, there's a pool, you can enjoy swimming in the summer, and there's a hot spring. So, this price is really great 😊

The food is delicious and the hot springs are also nice. Good value for money. There is also a mixed bathing open-air bath, which is rare these days (you need to rent clothes for mixed bathing separately).I would like a list of the rice menu items.

At Hodakaso Yama Hotel, we had a relaxing Japanese meal in our room. All of the dishes are elaborately prepared, and the seasonal wild vegetables and grilled river fish are especially delicious and you can feel the blessings of nature. The best thing about it was that it was served in your room, so you could enjoy it at your own pace without worrying about anyone else. This is an inn where you can spend a luxurious time with both the scenery and the food, and you'll want to come back again.

Unfortunately it was raining so I couldn't see the scenery at all.The open-air bath is a place where you can ride a trolley outside the building, so you can have a unique experience.The open-air mixed bathing area has rental wear, making it safe for women as well.It was a plan that included clothing, but when I rented it at the front desk, I was charged an additional fee and had to cancel it at the final checkout, so please check beforehand.It was a weekday, but there was a group from China.Too many people don't know about hot spring bath etiquette.First of all, you have to take off your slippers in the changing room (there is a sign at your feet in English, Chinese, and Malaysian to remind you to take them off properly), but you keep them on.Everyone soaked in the bathtub with towels draped over their shoulders and chests and chatted loudly for a long time.A good trip was ruined by an unpleasant experience.I felt that the hotel should make more efforts to communicate the importance of bathing etiquette.The room and food were very nice.

I went because I thought it was nice in many ways, including the appearance.My expectations are wrongCustomer service was poor.Other customers were guided to their cars and guided around the facility, but none were available to us.Upon arrival, leave your luggage in the lobby where we are not present.My chair was wet and I complained to the staff, but they were just worried about the chair, but my pants were wet.The food was not delicious, the taste was weak, the soup stock was not strong and it was just weak.Most of the staff serving the meals are foreigners with a broken Japanese, so communication is a bit difficult.Japanese staff are busy and irritated.I don't have any ideas for some items like dumplings.The room as a whole is lacking something.I'm sorry I was looking forward to it

The large mixed open-air bath was so spacious that it felt so good. The open-air bath is in a separate building, but since it was raining, there were plenty of umbrellas at the entrance, which was helpful. There was a roof in the center of the open-air bath, so I took a relaxing bath.It was a little noisy because there were groups of people, but there were a lot of staff members, so they took care of us well (there were also quite a few foreign staff members).The room was spacious and quiet and I had a good rest.Although the amount of food was small, each dish was carefully prepared and luxurious.
