Day trip bathing available. The bath is hot springRuns until 0:00As a sauna lover, it's disappointing that there are almost no chairs to take a relaxing break.Sauna → Cold bath → Rest on a chair etc.This is one setIt would be great if the shower room, which is hardly used, could be renovated and made into a neat space.

The hotel has a hot spring, which is a bit slimy. There is a sauna and it feels good. I can take a hot spring in the morning, but I can't take a sauna. It would be nice to include it.There was a nostalgic bar district in Otawara City near the hotel, so I was able to go for a drink.Breakfast is delicious. It's nice to have some local food. Thank you for your help.

I used the hot springs for a day trip, but since I was aiming for the sauna, I didn't mind the lack of an open-air bath. The sauna and cold bath are perfect.

I used it when delivering a car to Otawara City. I chose it because I was able to conveniently park a loaded vehicle that was less than 8 meters long. The room was also nice and clean. The bath was spacious and I was able to stretch my legs and relax on the long 450km one-way trip. There were several pubs nearby for dinner, so it was hard to choose, but I think we found a good one. However, I think there were a lot of ready-made items for breakfast. The grilled fish was a little late, but I think it was good because it was served warm. If I have a chance to go again, I would like to prepare a pool. thank you.

I used the hot springs for a day trip.The hot springs are smaller than expected and there are many different types.There was a bathroom, sauna and shower room.The bathroom is lukewarm and you can stay in it for a long time.

Old people talking all the time in saunas and hot springs.I feel like it's always the old people who don't follow good manners more than the young people.If you are a young person who is wondering whether to go to the sauna, please be careful.

Although the rooms are old-fashioned, they are spacious for the price and come with a public bath called a hot spring. It's like a big bathroom in a dormitory.And people in the vicinity are having long talks in the sauna.Well, I'm not criticizing it, it's a facility that has many users who frequent it, and it's loved by the locals. I felt that. It's fine as long as it's not deserted.Even in famous places where there aren't many people, the insides are slimy and don't get enough care.That's why the main customers are locals who keep the property relatively clean, and the accommodation costs are low compared to the current environment, so it would be wrong to complain about it.Maybe you should go to a secret hot spring or spa?And there is a bar district just a few minutes walk away. Isn't it a good location for Donbei?◯ Recommended for those who like valleys. I always go there when I stay here.It is difficult for the laundry area to be far from the building. I'm the one who wears the yukata and washes all the other clothes I bring in.Most of the food stores in the area are closed when I get home from work, so I either have to drive out or buy food at a supermarket or convenience store that is a little further away on foot.Overall location is bad. However, perhaps because of this, there is a possibility that there will be a space available when other hotels are busy and you cannot get a seat.

Although the building is old, it has a hot spring facility, pool, and gym, making it a hybrid-like hotel.I warmed up in the lukewarm alkaline bath typical of that area.It was a hotel that I would like to visit again.

It can be used as a day trip hot spring.The usage fee is 700 yen, and you will be given a locker card key at the reception. Although they are numbered, it seems that all lockers can be used. In addition to lodging, we have a gym and pool, and we have a variety of users.When you go to the bathroom, you will see a branch to the pool (for men)There are separate locker rooms and changing rooms, but you can use either one. There is also a separate shower room, but is this mainly for pool users?The bathroom has a bathtub with brown alkaline simple spring water, 4 showers, a sauna, a cold bath, and a stand shower. Although it feels small, the hot springs are comfortable and not too hot.The customer base was diverse, so on that day there were some unlucky customers who talked loudly to themselves and violently opened and closed doors, but the rest of the audience had a relaxed atmosphere.

Located in the center of Otawara City.Multiple bus systems are available from Nishinasuno Station, and it's about a 5-minute walk from Tokotoko Otawara Stop.There are also restaurants and supermarkets nearby.This was a facility with a sports gym and a day-trip hot spring.You can choose a Japanese-style room, which is 8 tatami mats and can accommodate 3 people for single occupancy, so it was spacious.The bathroom was also spacious and convenient.The downside was that the tatami mats were old and the sound of the second hand of the clock was annoying.I think it's strange to hear the sound of the second hand in the guest room these days.The bathtub of the much-anticipated hot spring is small and can accommodate up to 4 people.There were just four washers in the washing room.I took a bath after 5pm on a weekday, and there were more locals than hotel guests.Everyone was going back and forth between the sauna and cold bath, so the bathtub and washing area were empty.The spring quality was a thick, light green color, and was suitable for a long bath, although it was slightly lukewarm.By the way, there is no jacuzzi or open-air bath.There is a large parking lot and a coin laundry in one corner.There are other hotels with hot springs in Otawara City, so I think it would be a good idea to stay overnight and compare.

Adults can take a bath for 700 yen. However, more than 80% of users use the gym inside the hotel. "Thank you for your hard work," everyone said as they passed each other. The baths are clean, but I feel like there are a lot of gyms like that, so I don't think they are able to maintain silent bathing.

Used for company business trips. Since the only option was a Japanese-style room, I chose one. The room was clean. Equipped with a water heater, hair dryer, and safe. There is a bath in the room, but since it is a hot spring, I went to the large public bath. However, it was difficult to find the location, and I couldn't understand the diagram inside the elevator, so I asked at the front desk. It was located at the entrance of the attached sports gym. There are shelves and a changing basket in the locker room and behind it. When using a locker, there is a system to borrow a card from the front desk, which is only explained in the accommodation information provided in the room. The large bath is also used by gym users, so in the early hours, all four washing areas are occupied and you may have to wait. The hot water was alkaline spring. The breakfast was large and satisfying. What surprised me most was that when I entered the room, if I entered a non-smoking room and smoked a cigarette, a cleaning fee of 100,000 yen was displayed. I think they are having a hard time with the etiquette of guests. Overall, the signage inside the facility is from the gym's perspective and is unfriendly from a guest's perspective. I suspect that it is proportional to the sales ratio.
