The pork shabu-shabu for dinner is quite delicious.Huh? That's about it. It's as delicious as Kagoshima's black pork.The hot springs also have a powerful temperature that feels good.It's a good cost-effective accommodation with app discounts.

The hot springs were very good, as expected from Zao Onsen.It was whiter than the teacups and had a more sulfur scent than the hot springs in Hakone Yumoto, but it was less acidic than Tamagawa Onsen.All of the hot springs were good.As for the dinner, you can feel that they are particular about the food. For meals, you can choose between shabu and Genghis Khan, and if you stay for two nights, the second day will automatically have a different menu from the first day.It was delicious (*´﹃｀*) It would have been better if there was a little more meat.Mornings are normal, for better or worse...

Rating: Lowest. Please do not create a feeling of being a luxury hotel.I stayed for one night, but I won't be returning.First of all, as for the room, it seems like only what you can see has been cleaned, and when you look under the carpet under the bed, there are lots of food particles that you can't tell when the guest was there... As soon as you open the door, you are greeted by an incomprehensible sink. Making the room.Regarding the service, the person cleaning the room tried to come in even before I checked in, or left without saying anything, and the moment I checked out, I was treated as if to tell me to go home. . When I arrived, they told me that I needed to make a reservation for the shuttle to the station, but on the way back I didn't understand why. Unfriendly. The breakfast is at the same level as the free breakfast at some Che Hotel.It was the worst. There are many other things, but I'll leave it at this. Thank you very much for the unpleasant memories.

I went here on a hot spring tour.There are two open-air baths, one in a pot and one in a stone pot, and it wasn't too hot, so it was easy to get into.

◆First visit in September 2020Accommodation for hot spring touring.Zao is my favorite hot spring resort and this is my fourth consecutive visit. You won't be able to stop drinking the hot spring water, which has a sour taste similar to lemon water.I often book accommodations through Jalan, and despite the extremely low price of 11,000 yen including two meals, it was a wonderful accommodation.I really liked the consideration given to the customers by squeezing the hot spring water to the right temperature.Dinner was Genghis Khan. The amount may not be enough for young men, but you can of course add more meat. I also added an old man 💪It was located in the middle of a large open-air bath, so I thought it would be expensive based on the atmosphere, but it was a reasonable inn💯
