A year ago, I stayed in an economy room because there were no other rooms available. I noticed a musty smell.The food was delicious and I enjoyed the private bath.Next time I want to stay in a nice room.

It retains the feel of a traditional hot spring hotel, but the outdoor private bath on the rooftop is very relaxing. The food quality is very high. But you must drive by yourself.

Ryokan Kawana is a hot spring inn located in Kimitsu City, Chiba Prefecture. Conveniently located, 5 minutes by car from Kimitsu Station and accessible by direct bus from Tokyo Station. There are 4 private open-air baths on-site, which can be used free of charge. There are Japanese and Western rooms, and some have open-air baths. There is also a restaurant on site where you can enjoy traditional Japanese cuisine using fresh local ingredients. The exquisite kaiseki cuisine using spiny lobster, abalone, and red sea bream is especially popular. Ryokan Kawana offers a relaxing stay in a quiet environment surrounded by nature.

I used it in the summerA value-for-money inn with 4 to 5 private baths.I have a good impression of the staff's attentiveness.The quality of the spring water in the bath on the first floor is amazing and will make your skin smooth.Before the child got out of the bath, his body had become smooth and metal. lolI felt that the price setting of the vending machine was a little high.I was very satisfied with the breakfast menu, which had a good nutritional balance.It is easily accessible from the expressway, and may be recommended as an accommodation to adjust your schedule to avoid the extremely crowded Aqua Line.

Also a pre-marital trip and a birthday celebration for him.I visited with a day use plan that included dinner!The front desk staff who welcomed usIt was very calm and had a good impression.In a room with an open-air bath,The room was large enough for two people.There's nothing special around, soI was able to really relax until dinner.It was dinner that I had been waiting for, but none of it was really good.It was delicious, delicious, and I really liked the seasoning!He was also very happy eating it, so it was a good choice to choose this inn.(I had read reviews saying it was delicious)All the staff serving the meals and providing guidance.The care and customer service was wonderful.In the end...the only thing that was a little disappointing was...Are you a part-time worker or a new employee?The young person in charge of payment and checkoutIt took a little time and effort.I thought it was a shame.However, overall I felt fine.I would definitely like to visit you again.

As mentioned in many reviews, the taste and presentation of the food were excellent, and both my eyes and my tongue were satisfied.However, there were a lot of staff working part-time, and some of them were very polite, but the overall quality of the service was good. I didn't feel it.The baths, both the open-air bath attached to the room and the private bath, have a nice atmosphere, but the water quality is so slippery that the stone floor gets slippery.I actually fell in the bath, and I think it's good for the skin, but be careful if you're a small child or the elderly!The atmosphere of the room was good, and I felt a sense of hospitality when I saw the abundance of amenities in various places, such as a small letter and sweets, but the bed was not very comfortable and it was difficult to adjust the light at bedtime. It was a bit disappointing.
