Gyokuhokan

The open-air bath is spacious, probably because of the abundant hot spring water. I think it's a tradition because old photos show a very large open-air bath, but the large public bath and washing area are indoors, but there is no indoor bath, and there is only one large open-air bath. There is another indoor bath, though. The free private bath and washing area are both outdoor open-air baths. It feels very nice, but the washing area is outside, which is a bit of a challenge in winter. I couldn't get out of the open-air bath (lol). You have to walk through an outdoor corridor to get to the bath building, so it might not be suitable in the middle of winter. The food was very delicious. It was visually appealing, and they were kind enough to accommodate our food preferences. I felt that the portion size was not enough for a young man, but we were full. I thought it was modern to have a recommended set of non-alcoholic drinks. It was delicious. The Japanese garden that can be seen from the room on the second floor was fantastic and beautiful at night. I would like to visit again in a warmer season.

I stayed here for the first time after being recommended by a friend who loves traveling to hot springs. There is a hot spring source in front of the entrance, and the steam is rising vigorously, making you feel like you are in a hot spring from the beginning. Three of us stayed in a detached Japanese-Western room with an open-air bath, and the room was spacious and the large open-air bath in the room was the best. Dinner starts early at 17:30. The chef has great taste and every dish is very delicious. All three elderly people finished their meals. Breakfast is also great. There is no problem with the staff's customer service. This is a recommended inn. Just one? had. We stayed in a Japanese-style room with 3 people and had 2 futons added to the room, but to our surprise, we were charged an additional 2,200 yen for the futons. I have stayed at high-quality accommodations for many years, but this is the first time I have been charged an additional futon fee.
