Atami Onsen Horita

It was a trip that didn't come true due to the corona wreck, but I was able to go for the first time in three years. It's been a long time, so I got excited and collected information on the net, and decided on this one because it was highly rated. It was a summer trip, so it was natural that it was hot, but the humidity was high because of the rain. The moment I arrived, my family was speechless. I guess that's what Showa retro is all about, but the only thing that stood out was the oldness, and the air conditioning was just a fan, so just checking in made me sweat. I was guided to a room on the second floor, but I was confused because there was no air conditioning. When I opened the door of the room, there was a refrigerator in front of the narrow space, and the door opened inward, so when I took off my slippers, the slippers were caught in the door and it didn't close. There were two chairs in the back of the room with a small table in between, and the toilet and washroom were separate behind each chair. The door did not open completely unless I moved the chair. [Bath] Due to the corona crisis, we rented it out. There was a key to the entrance door, but I couldn't hang it, so if you open the door of the large public bath in front of the entrance of the inn, you can see the dressing room. At the very least, I thought it would be nice to have something like a partition on the inside of the door. The bath seemed to be hot at 80 degrees Celsius, but it was too hot and it took a long time to add water to make it the right temperature. The air conditioning in the dressing room was only a fan, so even though I was sweating in the hot spring, I was sweating again before I changed my clothes. [Meal] I was surprised at the size of the tuna grilled and boiled sea bream. The number of items and the amount were appropriate and delicious. However, the miso soup came out after I finished eating the rice, so I wanted it to be served together. [Others] ●There were two cups, hand soap, and a hair dryer on the stand near the mirror in the washstand, but there was no space to put cosmetics, etc., which was inconvenient. ●It was dark at the front desk around 9:00, so I wanted the lights to be turned on, partly because it was in front of the large public bath. It's true that the website says it's not an inn that boasts the latest facilities, but I think there are many things that can be done even if it's old. Overall, it was hard to say that it was a comfortable and relaxing ryokan.
