I was on holiday because my daughter was moving, so the accommodations were ridiculously expensive and I couldn't make a reservation.I understand this because I'm a businessman, but I realized how poor Japanese people are, unlike people overseas. I thought so. I can't do my best! !So I was looking for a capsule hotel for a sauna and found this place. The conclusion isIt is a sacred place of healing in the Han Dynasty in the middle of Kyoto.An irresistible place for sauna lovers...I want to repeat it many times. I don't post photosPlease come and see and touch it.The only thing I can do is eat...I guess I can't help it...

I stayed here for the sauna purpose. Temperature ◎ Humidity ◎ Cold bath ◎ Auf ◎ Outdoor air bath space ◎ Bath ◎ Shower water pressure ◯ There are smoking spaces everywhere. You can smoke without any partitions even in the outdoor bathing space. Not recommended for people who hate smoking.

Sleeping is pretty tough.Even though I was on the bunk bed, I was woken up by footsteps at 2:30 at night.Footsteps, voices, and daily life noises can be heard more than in a normal capsule hotel, and if there are even one person who is active at night, has bad manners, or snores, you should give up on sleeping.

It was very beautiful.The natural water bath in Shigaraki was smooth.The front desk is on the 3rd floor, and the sauna is on the 6th floor. You can use the elevator, but there are only stairs on the 5th and 4th floors, so there is no restaurant.It's a pain to go to the rest room.

After the renovation, the level of fulfillment as a sauna is truly amazing. Both the main sauna and the Finnish sauna are humid, which I really like. The auto row run that runs once every 20 minutes also comes with a blower, which I'm very grateful for because I don't like crowds during heat waves, so I can avoid the crowds.Also, the baths are better than before, and you can lie down in the observation bath, and the ruma bath, which uses Shigaraki's underground water, is very comfortable. Bathing in the open air also gives you a sense of freedom that you can't experience anywhere else.I think both the dinner and breakfast meals are among the best among sauna facilities.The capsule part is the same as before the renovation, but in the summer it's a little cold, but the air conditioning is working and it's comfortable to spend time (this is very important because heat can easily get trapped inside the capsule).The only thing that bothers me is the smell of ammonia in the toilet in front of the capsule lockers.It's kept clean, but it's in front of the lockers and there's probably a lot of people using it, so it's a bit of a shame.The smell in the downstairs bathroom isn't that bothersome, and it's been bothering me for a while now, so I'd like something to be done about it as soon as possible.

The only good things about it are the price (about 3000 yen if you stay until morning and skip meals) and the night view.・No welcome・Which course would you like to take at the reception? There's no explanation just・The same goes for restaurants. I don't know if I can sit down without permission or if I can get my own water. The menu wasn't written anywhere until I touched the tablet on the table. There are many things that an unhealthy man would receive, and the prices are high.・There are the bottoms of the in-house clothes near the lockers, but the tops are not available unless you go right in front of the bathhouse. Before I could see anything but the bottom of my in-house clothes, I saw a staircase leading to a restaurant, etc., and there was a sign saying, ``Please wear your in-house clothes from this point forward,'' which made me confused.- I tried to sleep in the reclining area, but the lights were on at full blast no matter what time it was. Even after 3 o'clock, the in-store background music and massage call announcements continue to play without turning down the volume, and the customer is immediately served without turning down the volume. In the spas I've been to in the past, the lights were either dimmed or turned off late in the day.・The customer service is extremely cold even when leaving the store.Based on the store images and location that I saw before visiting the store.I had an idea somehowI won't come again unless I suddenly have something to do to come to Kyoto.It's strange to say this so arrogantly, but the customer base isn't very good either. Another review said, ``There's a big ○ in the bathtub...''I feel like it's common.

This capsule hotel is perfect for solo travelers. You can also use the sauna at night. Breakfast is also provided. About 4000 yen per night. The inside of the hotel is clean, the staff is kind, and transportation is convenient, so I highly recommend it.
