Hanamaki Ryokan Airinkan Reviews

1) Good points ①The sashimi is fresh and sweet. The tempura is crispy. I think it's the best compared to other facilities. ②The staff in the lounge and shop are very friendly. ③You can see local ingredients such as pickles and shiso rolls. It's delicious. ④There are a lot of local souvenirs, which is nice. 2) Bad points ①Unfair plan settings It says that the dinner venue selection plan (basic Japanese set meal), which is cheaper than Kamado Dining, may be changed to Kamado Dining. From the inn's point of view, this is probably a measure to avoid waste, but from the guest's point of view, it is hard to accept that the content is the same as that of guests with cheaper plans, even though they are paying a high price to differentiate the meal content. Apart from the delivery to the room, I think it would be fair if Kamado Dining and the Japanese set meal were clearly distinguished, or dinner and breakfast were all served in the same venue and everyone had a buffet or half buffet like Shidotaira. The food is in a stone oven, but I don't really understand the need for a stone oven. It just felt a little difficult to eat the food. 2. Disappointing soft drinks that require a fee Soft drinks are charged in the dining area. This is the only hotel or inn of a similar nature in the prefecture that I have stayed at that does not do this. I think it would be fine to charge for alcoholic drinks and fresh juices and other high-value added items, but at the very least it would be nice if the free drinks at breakfast and in the lounge were free. If you register on LINE you get a second soft drink for free, but the fact that you have to pay for the first one is a bit disappointing. I think they are trying hard with the food, but it feels like a huge drag. 3. There are no hand towels in the toilet. 4. The towel rack is at the foot of the sink. It doesn't look clean. A towel rack would be nice. 5. The indoor bath at Kawa no Yu is disappointing. It doesn't look as vibrant as it appears on their website. The windows are covered in green moss and dirt, which creates a huge contrast. ⑥ Guests who monopolize the ceramic bath and guests who don't pour the water over themselves. Although it's not the inn's fault, there are guests who monopolize the single-person ceramic bath for long periods of time, and guests who bathe without pouring the water over themselves. Guests who enter the bath without bringing a towel and get out without drying themselves off. Please post notices and enlightenment about proper bathing etiquette. I think it's good that they're particular about the local area, but I wish they would be fair from the guest's point of view. It may be unnecessary, but if they're going to serve French toast, I'd like them to make Platinum Pork tonkatsu sandwiches.
