There's no mirror in the room, and there's no outlet in the bathroom.It's hard to do my hair and makeup in my room in the morning. The towels are only for one bath, so if you want to take a bath in the morning, you have to dry them in your room and use them again. But there's no place to hang towels.The floor of the public bath was covered in hair. No cleansing. Instead, there are glucosamine creams, hair growth creams, and other products aimed at the elderly. There are only 3 hair dryers in the public bath. On the other hand, the vending machines are well-stocked with a wide selection of ice cream, coffee milk, snacks, and alcoholic beverages, and the prices are reasonable. There were several types of shampoo in the public bath, and the horse oil one was good.The overall price is also reasonable considering the breakfast and dinner buffet and accommodation costs.

I stay at Itoen group hotels all over the place.The evaluation is based on the price, so it will be given a relatively high rating.Building: Quite luxurious with a front lobbyThis time I stayed in a Western-style single room.Room: Clean, washlet toilet bath unit.Wifi is reasonably strong.The view outside the window is of a private house and mountains in the distance.Bath: The large public bath in the main building has a sauna and no open-air bath.It's nice that you can also use the annex day-trip hot spring Golden Yu, which also has a sauna and open-air bath.Meals: Morning and evening buffet, the food is standard, but there are seasonal fairs as well, standard to the Itoen Hotel, and there are two types of sake with unlimited alcohol.The venue was spacious and the staff were efficient in preparing the food and cleaning up.Facilities: Karaoke, table tennis, game consoles, etc. are also available as a day trip hot spring facility, so there are plenty of them. The comic corner was also very popular with children on summer vacation.Customer service: I think it's good.Transportation: Parking lot in front of the hotel and day trip hot spring.I walked to Ishidangai, but it took about 15 minutes.Considering the price, I think the cost performance is good for a hotel in a lively hot spring town.

The hotel's plumbing wasn't clean, and the ventilation fan in the unit bath didn't seem to be working.The room also smelled a bit, so I don't think I'd want to stay there again.I was disappointed because I thought it had been renovated.

I didn't have high expectations as I had heard that some rooms had poor visibility, but I was thrilled to see a sea of ​​clouds in the morning!The meals were buffet-style, and every menu was delicious, and we were able to relax in the Showa-style game corner and large bathhouse.

Available on weekdays in October. The parking lot is large.You can enter your room from 3:00 pm, but check-in (prepaid) starts from 1:00 pm, and reservations for meal times and free karaoke and table tennis are made at the time of check-in. If you want to do karaoke at a specific time, it's best to make a reservation first and then go for a walk around Ikaho or Lake Haruna Drive.There is a ``Kogane no Yukan'' (one-day hot spring facility) next to the hotel, and if you show your receipt you can enter for free even before 3pm.The room this time is a large Japanese-Western room (10 tatami mats + 2 B). There are snacks available. The refrigerator has two doors. WiFi is good. There's only one key. The water area had been renovated and was beautiful.The hot spring is on the 1st floor, and although it is constantly flowing, it is a little small. There is a sauna, but no cold bath. ``Kogane no Yukan'' is connected to the hotel underground and is open until 10pm.Dinner is a buffet, and although there are no fancy dishes, it will fill you up. Many types of alcohol are free.There are 6 private karaoke rooms (free of charge) available for one hour shifts.Ice is available for free on the first floor, and there is a microwave next door. Beer from the vending machine is super cheap at 270 yen.The morning hot springs are open from 5am. There is no gender swapping.The earliest breakfast buffet time is 7:30, but when I went to check on it at 7:20, it was already open and about 10 groups were in.Now, there seem to be a lot of dissatisfied comments, but I wonder if they are aware of the price. This is an inn that offers all-you-can-drink alcohol and gives you change for 10,000 yen even on weekends. (8415 yen + bathing tax on weekdays) I think this management effort is amazing. If you want to stay in a good hotel in Ikaho, I recommend hotels like Tamaki and Kaichoro.

It's a little far from Ikaho Ishidangai, but it takes about a 13-minute walk to get there.There also seems to be a route bus service.The hotel seems old, but it seems like it has been renovated and the rooms are clean.The meals are also well thought out. The all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink drinks were delicious.In addition to the large public bath in the main building, the day-trip hot spring Golden Yu in the annex is also free.Karaoke is also free with reservations, so you can enjoy it.The Itoen series has good cost performance.

If you are new to the Itoen series, please take a look.It's almost the same at any Itoen.・Once you get used to it, you can enjoy it at a good cost. On the contrary, there are many things that you have to get used to and accept. It doesn't matter if it's cheap or bad.・If you are satisfied with the following, I think you will enjoy it, but if you don't like it, I strongly recommend going to a hotel that is more expensive.・Check-in is surprisingly lined up around 3pm. If you're not good at it, you'll have to wait about an hour. Should I arrive at 4:00 pm or just check in around 2:30 pm?・The customer service depends on the person, but it's like letting them stay overnight. Many of the people here are from other countries and may not speak Japanese, and most of the Japanese people are quite cold, probably because they are busy.・I can see that Viking is trying hard to cut costs, so it's aimed at the elderly. I'm satisfied because I don't have a very discerning palate, but the sushi tastes like funeral quality even to someone like me who has a stupid tongue.・[Important] It is recommended to eat early. Seriously no food for the last time. There were some series that weren't ready if they were too first.・The guest room is old and dirty. It's about right considering it's a cheap love hotel. There wasn't anything that bothered me other than the edges being dusty, but I probably wouldn't be able to tolerate hair falling in the bathtub if it wasn't within the acceptable range.・The people at the store are very kind. No matter where I went to Itoen, the people at the shops were kind and especially nice.・Reservations are required for most of the free activities. I can't do it if it's full. Let's make a reservation as soon as we check in.Take this into consideration! I think you will enjoy it. I was brainwashed into being satisfied with this. If you find a way to enjoy it, even in this day and age, you can enjoy a hot spring trip with a two-meal buffet for just 6,000 yen per night. I wrote a lot of things from above, but since they are doing it for this price, I have no complaints.
