Best Nagato Spa Hotels

Style. Traditional hotel, a bit dated Setting. Japan countryside off the beaten path 2 hours from Fukuoka airport Explore. Motonosumi Inari Shrine. Akiyoshido cave. @ the hotel. Hotel first built 1881 on site of a hot spring discovered by a monk 600 years ago. Open air baths with high alkaline. Spa treatments. Hotel hosted a summit with Shinzo Abe and Putin in 2016. Rooms. Various room options, I chose a 900’ corner room surrounded by nature with a stunning view of the Otozure river on one side & the mountain on the other side. Room had tatami mats & futon beds. Bathroom came with a jacuzzi that you can just soak in while enjoying the views. Toilet room very dated with an ugly urinal in it. Food & drinks. Multiple dining options. I had kaiseki dinner which included wagyu, Yamaguchi seafood i.e. fugu blowfish, abalone etc at Zuiun, & breakfast at Unyu Prices. Good value at US$556 for room & meals to feed two, especially since back in Hong Kong, a kaiseki dinner will easily cost $350 per person Rating. 4/5

We stayed here for 2 nights in February, probably off season. I wanted to celebrate my husband, so I consulted with the staff about everything from changing reservations to making advance preparations. . The room with a garden and open-air bath was wonderful, and the hospitality of the staff and the food were all excellent, making my stay in a different world of bliss. Well, I think other people have already written enough about how nice the room is and how wonderful the experience is, so I'll just leave two points! 1. Even the maintenance and cleaning are beautiful. →I came across a coffee maker being maintained, but it was completely empty in a big wagon. . . Instead, you can carry out maintenance quietly by carrying an inconspicuous maintenance bag. I couldn't help but fall in love with it. 2. There is a small study in the special room. You don't want to work here! ? However, if you absolutely have to do it, you can quickly finish it in your small study. Thank you again for your wonderful stay. I couldn't finish visiting Yamaguchi, so I'll be back!

　The nearest station is ＪＲ Nagato Yumoto Station on the Mikasa Line, but if you walk from there, you feel a little far away. This time, I took the bus to Shimonoseki by Sanden Transport Semi Express from the west exit of Nagato City Station on the ＪＲ Sanin Line and got off at the entrance of Nagato Onsen. The hotel is right across the left hand. (If you contact the hotel side in advance, it is said that the transfer bus will come. However, the station building is old and the hand washing at the station is difficult to say clean, so please be careful for women) The room I stayed in is ”away Nishi Kyo Tei”. It was the upper floor of the same building, but even on a day when there were many groups, the room was quiet and I could taste the atmosphere of staying in ”away”. The room was 10 tatami mats, and the room I stayed this time had a subsequent 6 tatami mats room. This room is a room where the river is not flowing (perhaps westward), so I think that even if you are worried about such sounds when you are sleeping, you can sleep well. There is an elevator to the public bath. Because it can be said to be ”only for guests in Nishi Kyo Tei”, I felt that it was easy to use a large bath and an open-air bath. ”Apart from Nishi Kyo Tei” Merritt is ”room food”. The specific dinner start time can be consulted with Nakai, so I was able to prepare it from the front of 6 p.m. The dish was made to ”the two person seat plan to enjoy all 19 kinds in the share style”. The dishes were delicious, but there were six kinds of dishes that ignite solid fuel and warm them. This is hard to eat. It may be good if two people line up during the meal, but if not, I recommend other course dishes. I think that there is an improvement point of this hotel because I have to call Nakai and others when I lower additional orders and dishes such as sake. However, in other words, it is not a meal in a place like a banquet hall, so you can enjoy the peace and peace only by the group traveling together. The bowling and humanity dramas of the night were fun, but if you want to enjoy in groups such as women's travel and three generations of travel with children, ”remove Nishikyotei” is recommended. It is also necessary to make an offer from here to put a futon. The towels necessary for bathing can be rented for free at the entrance of the public bath, so you don't have to take them from the room, and it is good to borrow clean towels every time you want to use a bath several times.

The room is functional and the Japanese breakfast and dinner are excellent. The hot spring has multiple special pools, but the hot spring water is not hot enough. It would be better if there is a vending machine selling frozen milk outside the hot spring door.

I am satisfied with the bath, the food, and the staff. I use it after traveling to Nagato and watching Kabuki. The bath is soothing and the scenery overlooking Yuya Bay is soothing. I think it's good to be alive during the sunset time. I won't let you down on the food. However, in the past, there was a local dish boiled cousin, but it is a pity that it is not now. It bothers me every few months.
