Kinugawa Royal Hotel

It's located very close to the Kinu Tateiwa Suspension Bridge. I woke up just before 6am and when I opened the curtains, the morning sun bathed me in a truly divine view. When I opened the door, I was greeted by the sounds of the river flowing and the birds singing, which was very soothing. I took a walk across the suspension bridge and was greeted by Kinuta standing nearby. Another five minutes' walk brings me to Furukama Falls, so you can do a little sightseeing in the morning. The hot springs, which have both an open-air bath and an indoor bath, were very pleasant.

The facilities are old but well-maintained. I thought it was interesting that you could reserve private baths and various entertainment options. Maybe the walls are thin, but I was surprised to hear conversations from outside or the next room. It's nice that the suspension bridge is just a short walk away. The view was amazing.

You can stay here for less than a business hotel, with an all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink dinner, breakfast, and hot springs. If you get up early and cross the suspension bridge, you can see a spectacular view.

We stayed as a family of four. We were able to use the hotel's facilities, such as the pool and table tennis, for free, and had a great time. There were a lot of guests with children, so the shared areas and dining halls in the hotel were very lively, but our room was quiet and we enjoyed the view, so we were able to relax. I think this is a hotel where people with and without children can relax. At dinner, there was all-you-can-drink alcohol, and we were able to enjoy local sake.

The hotel was very comfortable and well-equipped with amenities such as a buffet, karaoke, and table tennis! It's a lovely hotel and affordable, so I'd love to come back!
