It's been a while since I've been here. The food is very delicious. Unfortunately, the weather was so bad that I couldn't see the scenery. Breakfast is a buffet.

The smooth hot springs were the best!Unfortunately, the weather was bad on the day we stayed, so we weren't able to see Mt. Chokai, but all rooms have windows facing Mt. Chokai, so if the weather is nice, you can see Mt. Chokai from any room.There are no restaurants nearby, so if you do not have dinner or breakfast at the hotel, you will need to eat at Yajima Station before coming.The vending machines are open 24 hours a day, but the shops are also closed at night, so be careful if you arrive late or leave early.

Sodium-chloride/bicarbonate hot spring(Old spring quality name) (Baking soda-containing salt spring)Spring temperature source 51.3℃Usage position: 42~43℃PH8.5The hot water is simmering. So-called smooth waterThis is a beauty hot spring.It is colorless, transparent and odorless.There is also an open-air bath, which is really nice.Road access is not goodPlease try it once.It's so smooth that you can't believe it.

Foresta Chokai where you can see Mt. Chokai from your room.More than anything, I came here because I wanted to soak in the ``simmering hot springs'' again.Mt. Chokai still has snow on it.I could see a majestic and beautiful figure reflected in the sunlight from my room.The reservation plan was ``no dinner,'' but I ordered a ginger-grilled set meal at the restaurant.I had the same menu with the same pattern two years ago, but the quality seemed to have deteriorated a little...I guess it can't be helped with the recent price hike.But it was delicious.Breakfast is Western food. This was also delicious.Well, I was looking forward to the hot springs.I thoroughly enjoyed myself in the free private bath with an open-air bath.Smooth texture.It will make your skin beautiful.The courteous customer service hasn't changed at all.Of course, there was also the hot springs that I had been longing for.Eat something delicious,Take a bath in a high-quality hot spring,Looking at the view of Mt. Chokai,Thanks to you, I got rid of the fatigue from the trip.Come to think of it, it might be a good idea to visit the ``Hotai Falls'' as it is nearby.

Used for one night in June 2022. My wife raved about how the hot springs make her skin smooth. Of course, men's skin also becomes smooth. It can also be used just for bathing. Depending on the weather, you can enjoy the magnificent view of Mt. Chokai from your room. Nearby is Hotai Falls, which has been selected as one of Japan's top 100 waterfalls, and is also famous as the filming location for the climax of the movie Tsurikichi Sanpei. I would like you to visit.

The day I went, I couldn't enter the hot springs. I went to a hot spring called Chokaisou in Sarukura Onsen 2km away✨It was a very relaxing hot spring and it was great!Dinner was a full course!However, it took too long for the next dish to arrive, which was disappointing, and the steak I was looking forward to was very hard. For breakfast, there was no explanation as to whether you could have a second helping of rice, which is a shame.

The rooms with a view of Mt. Chokai right in front of you are the best.All the restaurants are delicious and you can stay there for a long time.The hot spring bath is spacious and relaxing.The open-air bath is a little lukewarm, so you can stay in it for a long time.

This is for day use.The quality of the hot spring water is good for your skin, making your skin feel slippery.JAF members receive a ¥100 discount on bathing fees.Many facilities that offer JAF member discounts won't tell you that there is a discount until you ask, but here they asked, "Are you a JAF member?"The weather was bad and I couldn't see Mt. Chokai, but the hot spring alone was enough to enjoy it, so it was worth it.I would like to get revenge on a nice day!

Mt. Chokai is right in front of you! It's satisfying to be able to enjoy the different expressions of the shadows depending on the flow of the clouds. A rainbow 🌈 appeared due to the light rain! It was the biggest surprise! The hot springs are colorless and transparent. It's not good because it gets cold quickly.

This hotel is located at the foot of Mt. Chokai. There is a footbath near the entrance. The autumn leaves are also beautiful.

It's deep in the mountainsI think it's best to stop by the store and do some shopping before heading out.Mt. Chokai was so beautiful when I opened the curtains in the morning⛰️🌳

Very peaceful environment, the overall facilities are clean, and the reception staff at the front desk are friendly. The spa pool has ample opening hours, so you can relax and use it with peace of mind. It is also very clean.

I visited the hot springs for a day trip. There is a hot spring with the most pleasant smooth water quality and a sauna. It was a pity that there was no cold bath. There was running water. The inside of the hotel was also very clean and a place I would like to visit again.

Good view of Mt. Chokai from the room. It was quiet and the location was good.The open-air bath had a good quality of lukewarm spring water😊The dinner served in courses was good, but the breakfast buffet was disappointing with few varieties.
