The room was a 12 tatami Japanese-style room, and although it was old, the plumbing had been renovated, so we had no problems.The infinity open-air bath had a nice view at sunset, and I was able to spend a relaxing time almost privately. The food was delicious, especially the breakfast, which was satisfying in both quality and content.The restaurant staff were very kind. This is a hotel I would like to visit again.

My family absolutely loved our 3 night stay at Tsukubasan Onsen Hotel. Our room was beautiful, authentic and with gorgeous mountain views. I was even able to see Mt Fugi on the horizon early in the morning. The restaurant was unforgettable 👌 and the Onsen were relaxing and clean. Thank you 🙏⛰️✨️

The outside looks Japanese-style, but you'll be surprised once you step inside. It's beautiful, modern and stylish. The scenery is nice and the food is good, so I highly recommend it.

1,100 yen for day trip to the hot springs only on weekends and holidays. Free for elementary school students and younger. Last reception is at 2:30 pm until 3:00 pm. Cameras are not allowed in the bathroom. There is an open-air bath, but no sauna or cold bath. There was nothing special about it, but it was a good hot spring.

Kamenoi Hotel has been to many places.The source temperature is low.It was lukewarm overall.The rooftop open-air bath had a nice view and temperature, so I was hoping for a garden open-air bath and a large public bath, but the bath on the second floor was quite small.I think it was only the rooms that were renovated with the rebrand.It was a pity that the temperature was so low because it was difficult to get a place to stay.The food was a buffet, but it was delicious.The location is on top of a mountain, so it was generally quiet and nice.

Thank you for your help.The room was better than expected.It's a corner room, with a sign reading ``Vital Room'' on the wall of the hallway, and the door is double-sided with a stylish pattern. As you enter through the door, in front of you is a Japanese-style plaque and a white stone carving depicting fish swimming in pairs. The room on the right had twin futons that were about the size of a double, and two pillows of different quality. Next door is a Japanese-style room with a paulownia folk art chest in the corner and a stylish stand above it. Unfortunately, since the room was on a hill, there was no window with a view of the Kanto Plain. I thought that if the view from the Japanese-style room was good, the room would have been brighter. From the Japanese-style room, we went out into the hallway and took a deep observation bath with plenty of space for two adults, and the view both during the day and at night was wonderful. The ears of rice in the paddy fields spread throughout the village and are a beautiful symbol of Japan. Unfortunately, the window in the observation bath only opens about 5cm. To the left of the entrance, there is a large living room with a three-seater sofa and two single-seat sofas, giving you a Taisho-roman feel.The mini-kitchen had a faucet, 5 drinking glasses, 5 tea bowls, and 5 tea and coffee cups. I have to go to the third floor to get it.Also, the ice machine is only on the 3rd floor.Well, since dinner and breakfast are both buffets, we were the first in line, but since the hotel said it would be up to you instead of free seating, we were shown to seats we didn't like, so we told them which seats we wanted. , it was a seat with a nice view. Even in the VIP room, I was not given priority for dining seats, and even though I was at the front of the line, I was disappointed by the inconsiderate treatment by the hotel. I heard a conversation with a woman who was with me saying that it didn't matter that the two people who were in line right behind us were in the front of the line, so I thought it was a true story. The two people behind us were shown to the seats with the best view.For breakfast the next day, I talked to the staff and was given a seat with a great view.I thought it would be good if customers could choose a plan to relieve this stress. There are three types of seats: window seats, second seats from the window seats, and seats in the back. Also, the guest room has a large table and chairs, so I thought it would be nice to have a room service plan. There will be some pricing for the plan.I also thought it would be nice to have a coffee maker in the mini kitchen in the guest room. There are also coffee makers that can make coffee, black tea, and sencha.I thought that with such a VIP room, there would be many guests who would want to come back again. The guest room was a really nice Taisho romantic, retro room.
