Ryokan Kiritani Hakoneso Reviews

The reviews on a famous travel site were good, I had accumulated points from that site, and it was on sale, so I decided to go here without doing much research. In a nutshell, it is a ryokan run by foreigners. The manager must be Japanese, but I saw only foreigners, so I thought it would be fair to say that the management is a foreigner. I felt that the cleaning of the room and bath, the replenishment of room equipment, etc. did not reach the level expected by Japanese people. The location is not Gora Station, which can be said to be a relay point, but the nearest station is 2 stations from there, but it is about 5-10 minutes on foot from the station. Close enough to walk. However, there is a really steep slope in front of the ryokan, and there are many stairs inside the ryokan, so those with weak legs should avoid it. Meals are not luxurious. I stayed at a sale price, so I'm not dissatisfied with the meal for the price. It was nice to be able to choose between 8am or 8:30am for breakfast. Both morning and evening were private rooms on the second floor of the main building. The sunken kotatsu type, the air conditioner is built into the wall instead of the ceiling, and the height is at the waist level, so the cold air hits the waist of the person sitting on the back side. If you are sensitive to cold or are pregnant, it is better to bring a scroll to keep your waist warm. I used the bath in the main building both on the night of my arrival and in the morning of my departure (I thought that people would prefer to use the bath in the annex Sakura-tei, and once I left the building and crossed the road, I used the bath in the main building.) because it is troublesome). I never met anyone. After all, are there many people who use the annex? I had read bad comments about the bathtub, so I just took a shower and didn't get in the bathtub. Surely the hot water was not overflowing from the bathtub. There are two types of towels, a yukata, a toothbrush, a razor, and a comb in the room. I was told that if I wanted more, there would be a charge. This is the first time I've ever stayed at a place like this, is this the current era? There is a washbasin, hair dryer, hand wash, mini-refrigerator, teacup, and cup in the room. The coffee and tea packs were forgotten to be refilled, so I asked for them to be refilled. Water from the vending machine is 230 yen, and a 350ml can of beer is 350 yen.
