I stayed here during a business trip in July and could not find fault. The room and hotel were up to date. The bed was firm which suited me, en suite bathroom Japanese style ( short, deep bath). …

Average Japanese "business hotel". Breakfast isn't great, but there's a Circle K convenience store not too far away. Has free Wifi!

I used it on my way back from Togakushi Shrine.The room was clean, and the pillows at this route inn weren't hard, so I slept well. It was also great that the public bath was a hot spring!Bath towels are the only ones in the room, so you will need to bring them from your room.All amenities are provided, so you won't have any problems.The breakfast was delicious and the staff were very helpful.This price is great for this quality!There are a few restaurants around the area, but they seem to be remnants of the hot spring town of the Showa era. There are many bars selling snacks and other drinks.There are some private izakaya-like restaurants, but the prices are high...There was a restaurant inside the route inn, so I think it would have been better to eat there for dinner.

The sulfur-based natural hot springs are very nice.It seems that the water draws from three different sources, and the quality of the spring water changes depending on the time of day.I liked the cloudy, sulfur-rich hot springs.The room I stayed in was unique in that there was a fairly high step at the entrance to the unit bath, and the floor was covered with tatami-style sheets. Also, I felt that the breakfast had fewer items compared to other route inns.However, my impression is that the large natural hot spring bath is the best, so the negative points are canceled out.I don't think there are many natural sulfur hot springs in this price range that include breakfast.In addition, the front staff was courteous and made my stay a pleasant one. thank you.By the way, I was able to connect to WiFi easily.

I found out that there was a route in at Kamiyamada Onsen for the first time in a long while to harvest apricots, so I made a reservation without hesitation. The day of our stay coincided with a festival in the hot spring town, so the road to the hotel was closed, so it was a bit of a hassle, but other than that, the hotel was perfect. The staff at the front desk and at the breakfast venue were all smiling and efficient, and the rooms, bathrooms, hallways, and elevators were all well-cleaned and clean as far as I could see. What was especially wonderful about it was that it was located in a hot spring town, so the quality of the spring water was so good that I was able to bathe there three times in one night.This hotel is not just an afterthought, but a hotel you'll want to use as the purpose of your trip!

I stayed for the first time on a weekday in July.·Will the building and rooms be renovated? I don't have a bad impression at all because it's new, probably because it's been made for a while.·A business hotel with natural hot spring water is the best! ! Moreover, the quality of the snow seems to change depending on the time of day, so when I took a bath after checking in, the water was cloudy, and when I took a bath before bed, it was slightly clearer.·You can watch the live camera of the breakfast venue from the room TV, and you can check how crowded the bathroom is, which is good for today's standards!·Breakfast doesn't have a lot of options, but the white rice, bread, and side dishes were pretty good, personally.·Parking is about 100m away, but there are parking lots 1 to 3, and on this day it was so crowded that it was half full.·Perhaps by chance, all of the staff members were female, but the greetings were cheerful and polite.I didn't find anything particularly bad about it. In particular, the veteran woman who came to the breakfast venue had excellent customer service and I was impressed.·The main building and the east building are connected by an external corridor separated by a fence. It was room 2409, but the first 2 meant East Building, and 409 was the room number. So I guess the main building starts from 1! ?·It seems that the accommodation plan included drink coins, so I received them when I checked in! I was able to get a drink by just inserting it into the vending machine that accepts coins inside the building! !·We had dinner at the restaurant next to the reception in the main building. From rice to a la carte dishes and alcoholic drinks, you won't have any problems. There is also a counter for one person.·There is a mountain on the west side of the hotel, and there was a branch temple of Zenkoji Temple, so when I tried to go there, I couldn't go up the mountain because part of the mountain path had collapsed due to heavy rain the other day and the road was closed. Please check if you are planning to go.I came to Kamiyamada Onsen Town for the first time, but is the coronavirus outbreak? I had the impression that it was a little deserted. This time I was with my parents so we didn't go around the hot springs or eat out, so next time I'd like to enjoy the hot spring town as well.

Hot springs at business hotels are generally brought in by tanker truck, but this one is directly connected to the hot spring town.This hot spring has a strong sulfur scent. I think the hot springs are better than the major hotels in Kamiyamada Onsen.Breakfast is, well, a typical menu.

I highly recommend it to those who like and use Route In on a regular basis. Located in the middle of the hot spring town, this large public bath has a cloudy, sulfur smell. I have also stayed at Kamisuwa, a natural hot spring located in the same hot spring town, but Kamiyamada was overwhelmingly better. I checked in at 3pm and took a bath 4 times.

I used several route-in hotels, but the public bath here was a hot spring, and I used it twice, from 3pm to 2pm, and from 5am to 10am. For women, you can enter with a card key, so it's safe. After all, natural hot springs are the best. The parking lot is about 50 meters away, and next to the hotel there is a drinking fountain [Megumi no Izumi] where you can drink hot spring water or fill it in a plastic bottle. It smelled a little like sulfur, but it was delicious. I always bring pajamas with me when I stay, but when I stay at a route-in hotel, they have Jinbei, so I don't have to bring them, and when I check in, I get a free drink and coffee, and breakfast is included, and the price is cheap, and the room is clean, and the front desk is nice. The staff's response was also good. Wouldn't it be nice if there was an open-air bath in the public bath?
