It's a convenient weekday (the day before a holiday), it's near the downtown area of ​​Arima Onsen (very close to Kin no Yu), it's relatively cheap, the bath at the inn uses Kinsen Ginsen water, there's an open-air bath, and there's free parking. I made a reservation. Since it was very last minute, there weren't many accommodations that came up in the search.I looked it up on Rakuten and found that the hotel directly offered the best rate guarantee, so I made a reservation directly.Since my husband's birthday was coming up, we also went on a celebratory trip, so we had a celebratory "Osekihan" for dinner.We also received one common ticket for Kin-no-Yu and Gin-no-Yu (not just one ticket for each person!)There is a huge range of good and bad reviews on the internet, so what do you think? I was worried, but I think it's worth the price I paid. I wonder if you will be dissatisfied if it is expensive during the busy season.The first thing I noticed was that it wasn't barrier-free. There are some steep steps and the bath is on the mezzanine floor, so it might be difficult for people who don't like stairs.The basic structure is from the Showa era, and although it is well-maintained and clean, the basic structure is from the Showa era.I guess it would be difficult to make this barrier-free by constructing it in terms of cost.When I rang the bell at the front desk, the parrot immediately answered in a low voice, “Sweetheart!” ♡I was surprised and the tone of his voice seemed to be imitating a male customer, which made me laugh out loud. It became a touching memory of this trip.Kin no Yu is just a short walk away.I arrived early and was directed to a parking lot right next to the inn. Please leave your key at the front desk during your stay.It seems that the person at the inn will drive you to the parking lot when you arrive, but since I arrived early, there was no one in charge, so I drove myself.It's better to leave it to someone else to drive. I don't want to.Since the bath was reserved on the first day, my husband was also taking pictures inside the bath.There was a place for valuables such as keys.In the refrigerator, there was no sake in the alcohol section at the bottom of the photo from the beginning. (I drank beer and cider)Are you reading the reviews carefully? That's what I thought...There was a bench in the changing room (it didn't seem to be there before) and the Wi-Fi was working in the room (it didn't seem to be working in the private room before).I hope this helps in improving it.I will list my impressions below.・Rooms with Wi-Fi are also available・Kin-no-Yu and Gin-no-Yu available・Only a refrigerator, no vending machine?・The bath is on the mezzanine floor and there are always stairs.-No draft beer, even though it's on the menu・Miscellaneous air conditioning settings (weak, medium, and strong) No remote control・There is no toilet seat temperature that is not a washlet washlet unit.・It was nice to have an ice water pot at night.・There is no outlet near the mirror・Not enough outlets・No towels for breakfast・Parrot on the front. I responded to the chime and laughed out loud when I was told “Suimasen!”・If you make a reservation on the website, you can check out at 11:00 a.m. One common ticket for Kin-no-Yu and Gin-no-Yu per person.・The chair in the room that rotates was nice.・In-out luggage will not be carriedFor me, the biggest problem was that there was no draft beer. . .

In the essence area, I highly recommend the high CP value, friendly staff, long opening hours of public baths, and very attentive and exquisite dinners. I really like the feeling of this hotel. Even if there is a language barrier, every employee tries their best to make both parties feel comfortable. Warmth, I feel that every employee is trying to help travelers and every employee is trying to understand. This hotel can give travelers a sense of "original intention". It is my favorite hotel in Japan in the past two years. Dinner Very delicious, the staff are very attentive in teaching foreign tourists how to eat, they really work hard 100%.Hope such a nice place can stay in business forever.

The bath is nice though. The food was disappointing. It's not worth the price.

Although my husband and I have not yet been under the care of Mr. Kakunobo, he has written us his impressions. Actually, I wanted to be able to help you two years later in the fall, so I wrote down my impressions.

After getting off the interchange, it took about 10 minutes to find it on the corner where the name comes from.The person at the front desk will serve you immediately, and you can have your car delivered to the parking lot, so you can check in at the front desk.The rooms are only Japanese-style rooms, so it was a perfect hotel to spend a relaxing time alone.(The building feels quiet because there are no popular things like a spa)Meals are served in your room, so you can eat slowly and quietly.Since breakfast was served in the room, I woke up early, took a morning bath, and then had breakfast.There are two baths: Kinsen (inside the bathroom) and Ginsen (outdoor bath). There is a slight difference in the floor before entering the golden spring in the bathroom.There are also steps inside the bathtub.(Caution included) It is better to be very careful.There are only 2.3 hair dryers in the bathroom, so it can be a bit of a problem when it gets crowded.There is also a water server. Amenities are also provided.Kado no Bosan's homemade seaweed wasabi had a very strong wasabi taste and it was amazing when eaten with rice! (It was for breakfast)Recommended! Available for purchase at the store

I'm really surprised that the reviews are so low. |The inn itself is a little old, but the lobby smells like lilies, and the front desk staff and staff were very polite. …

While the hospitality and hot water were all good and I would like to use it again, I was disappointed that there was no Wi-Fi in the guest room (main room). When I moved to Fumikomi, I needed Wi-Fi.

Kakunobo looks unattractive, but after staying here I found the room to be very tidy. The meals were also very good. Although the hot spring pool is not big, according to the actual flow of people, it is almost exclusive to the pool, so don't worry. Although the staff don't speak English, they are very attentive to their service. It is a cost-effective hot spring hotel.
