Apartments in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan

This was by far the best value-for-money hotel we've ever stayed at during our many international trips. It's only about a 10-minute walk from the Onsen Station. The hotel is brand new, the rooms are huge, and the facilities are all-encompassing – seriously, they thought of everything! Check-in is fully self-service, though one minor hiccup was that it didn't prompt me about the number of guests, so I kept getting an error until I realized I needed to delete the extra guest slots. And for this price, it even includes a private hot spring bath with authentic thermal water – absolutely amazing!

The room is well-equipped, and there's a vending machine with snacks in the parking lot. Convenience stores are within walking distance. However, there's no front desk; you have to check in with customer service via a tablet, but the audio quality wasn't very clear. It also seems you have to request amenities from customer service.

Excellent, absolutely fantastic! The booking for this accommodation might be a little confusing because some of the facility pictures look similar, so I initially thought it was a shared room. After emailing the host, they clarified it's a 'whole building,' meaning A, B, C, and D each correspond to a separate standalone building. Each building has its own parking space out front. Although the location is a bit secluded, you can't beat how spacious it is; it's very comfortable and roomy. I imagine it gets more popular in winter. It's perfect for family trips, with all the pots, pans, and utensils you could need. Truly, it's very, very, very good.

There was a manager who kindly gave me advice on sightseeing. The room amenities were complete with cooking utensils, but there were no ladles for cooking in the pot, no chopsticks, and some things that were slightly lacking for self-cooking. There was no shampoo in the bath, only soap. However, considering the price, it was a great value accommodation👍
