GGuest UserI went to this hotel because it was recommended by Gunji Yong, the president of the Japanese Hot Spring Research Association, in the book ”Going to Japan to Soak in Hot Springs”. I drove a long way to the hotel and found that it was worth it.
1. The original hotel was damaged in the Kumamoto earthquake and is now rebuilt. The main building we stayed in was built in the style of that year. Many original wooden components were used in it. The new and old are mixed, and the color difference is obvious, but it also has a unique flavor. The key is that because it is new, it does not have the ”old-fashioned” feeling of many Japanese hot spring hotels.
2. The facilities and furniture of the house have been heavily invested and are of high quality. The main lamp in the bedroom is a fishing lamp from FLOS in Italy, the stool in front of the washbasin is a shoemaker stool from WERNER in Denmark, and the butterfly stool on the balcony is a butterfly stool from Tendo Carpentry. The chairs placed in the public areas of the hotel are also masterpieces of masters. Interestingly, they are not out of place in traditional Japanese hotels.
3. As a hot spring lover, of course, I came here for the hot springs. As a hotel with a source of hot springs, the hot springs are fresh and of good quality. The hotel has men's and women's baths, both of which have indoor and outdoor pools. Interestingly, the men's and women's baths are switched in the morning and evening, so that guests can soak in both baths and four pools in one day. The outdoor bath is on the hillside, which is full of unknown small petals.
4. What's more exciting is that the hotel also has mixed bathing, of course, it is a less difficult and easy way to accept. The hotel will issue yukata, and the locker room is also separated for men and women. There are three pools for mixed bathing, one of which is a cold spring, which is quite enjoyable. When taking a mixed bath, the spring is right next to it, with white smoke.
5. The hotel has one night and two meals, and the two meals are also impressive. In addition to the appetizer, main course and dessert for dinner, the main character is venison hot pot. I have never eaten venison. The meat looks very thin, but I didn't expect it to be very tender and there is no peculiar smell. The dipping sauce is only crushed black pepper and chili. The store recommends dipping black pepper, which is really delicious. When it was time to eat, the handsome boy who could speak fluent English directly brought the rice pot over and showed us a piece of binchotan charcoal lying in the rice. We were surprised, and the handsome boy said proudly: Your money deserves it. There was not a drop of oil in the hot pot and the dipping sauce. After eating a meal, I was full but not greasy.
6. Breakfast is also interesting. The flap in the middle of the dining table is opened, which is a long charcoal stove. It is obviously an improved version of the ground stove barbecue. Many breakfast foods can be grilled on it, and there is even a small iron plate for frying eggs. The vegetable and fruit juices for breakfast are all freshly made one by one. The milk and yogurt for breakfast are all produced by Abe Ranch, and they are of the highest quality. For example, the fresh milk is Aso purple cover.
7. There are countless surprises and surprises when staying in this hotel. It rained in the morning, and the wind was strong and the rain was heavy. I went out and picked up an umbrella at the door. I opened it and saw that the double color matching was so beautiful, and it was so strong in the wind. (All hot spring photos are confirmed to be taken by no talent)
