I saw in the news that Pineland, which operates Hotel Katen, will cease operations by January 16, 2024 and is preparing to file for bankruptcy.It's a shame because I stayed there last year and was looking forward to visiting again.This place was originally a facility established as a National Pension Health Center, but was later purchased by a private company and operated as a lodging facility.The hotel was originally a National Pension Health Center, so it was a bit of an unusual location in a large park (Misaki Park), but it was also close to Aquamarine Fukushima and right in front of the ocean, so you could enjoy the sunrise over the ocean. It was great to be able to see it.Although the building itself was old, I thought it was a very good facility, so I wish there was a company that could take over it.The open-air bath was also very nice.

The bathroom is made of glass so you can see the ocean, and there seems to be a training gym in the basement.It is currently out of business.

The Kahoku Shimposha article states that the management company has filed for bankruptcy (debts amounting to 529 million yen) and has ceased operations.There is no mention of bankruptcy or business suspension on Hanaten's official website.

I became a member because I was able to use the fitness and hot springs.The owner's arrogant attitude was not very customer-oriented.I felt that the members were very considerate, and I thought that I would not recommend this hotel as a hotel, and that I would not recommend it to my acquaintances, but as a result, it went bankrupt. There was no contact with the members, and they only found out about it when they went in the morning and couldn't get in. That's right - I think it's natural for a manager like this to do that.

I used it for a day trip bath.Since it was the end of the year, I took the elderly to a hot spring.Purchase a bathing ticket from the ticket vending machine next to the lobby from the entrance, hand it to the pretty female staff member at the front desk, and take the elevator to the third floor. There are chairs in the elevator, which is a really nice touch.bathThe washing area has partitions.Shampoo etc. are availableThe hot water is a salty hot spring around 41℃.The view overlooks the Pacific Ocean.It's a hot spring that warms you to the core.

I used a day trip hot spring for 500 yen with a half-price discount coupon from a town magazine.After paying at the front desk and taking the elevator up to the 3rd floor, you will immediately see a noren curtain, so if you go through there you will see separate entrances for men and women, but if you are a female, you may be confused at first as the first noren curtain may give you the illusion that it is a men's bath. is.There are 12 showers, including indoor baths (including 3 foam baths), semi-open-air baths (3 jet water baths), and 12 showers.The spring quality contains salt and is warm.The quality of the springs seems to be good, but if I were to pay the regular price, I would go to Cape Tenjin.
