I stayed here about 40 years ago. It probably looks the same as before.

Every time I go to Jinlin Lake, I must stay in a hotel. Open the window and you will be right on Jinlin Lake.

A place where you can see Jinlin Lake in the morning. The boss is very nice and his English is excellent! There are open-air terraces, Japanese-style rooms, and the entire Jinlin Lake. …

The air conditioner was broken, so I could only use an electric fan to blow it up or down. When I checked out, I gave 4 packs of biscuits as a thank you gift, which was thoughtful...

Although it is called a pension, it is operated more like a hotel.I was grateful for the care and consideration of the staff. (I was allowed to park my car when I arrived before check-in, etc.)There are two hot springs within the hotel. One has indoor bath only, and the other has indoor bath + outdoor bath.The gender changes depending on the time.In principle, it seems to be a continuous stream, but the temperature of the water is just right so I don't feel the need to dilute it with water.
