This hotel is a traditional Japanese hotel. It seems to have been in business for many years. After staying for one night, I met mostly local Japanese people in the restaurant and the large bathhouse. Most of them were elderly people. There were no tour groups. It can be seen that it is a place for local Japanese people to relax.
We went to JR Ogoto Onsen Station. After swiping the card to exit the gate, you can see a floor-standing billboard with the names and phone numbers of various hot spring hotels. There is an old-fashioned dial-up mobile phone hanging on it. There are operating instructions on the sign next to the mobile phone. You can call the hotel. The hotel will send a business car to the JR station within five minutes. After getting on the car, you will arrive at the hotel in five minutes. You can communicate in English on the phone (Please pick me, I
am in JR station).
The check-in process is quite pleasant. The service staff is very enthusiastic and attentive. When checking in, the front desk will be responsible for helping to take the luggage and introducing the rules for the use of private baths and bathrobes in the room. There are free skin care products, makeup removal cotton, shower caps, combs, etc. at the front desk, which can be used according to your needs. The toiletries in the room are all POLA, which is very easy to use.
The executive room I booked is a suite. Dinner was booked when we checked in, and we had to go on time. There would be a separate private room. Dinner was a traditional Japanese dinner. The main dishes mainly involved hot pot (boiled vegetables + meat), Omi beef, sushi, etc. The others were some side dishes. A piece of pickled cucumber was considered a dish for Japanese people. It was served separately on a small plate. For someone like me who eats a lot, dinner was very small and of medium quality. The breakfast the next day was also okay. The form was greater than the content, and it was not as good as the experience in high-end Japanese restaurants in China.
When having dinner, the hotel will arrange to make the bed, which is quite interesting.
The private soup in the room was quite hot, but the water flow speed was slow. It was a good experience to turn off the light bulb and look at the scenery outside the window at night.
The hotel's large bath is relatively simple, with one large pool indoors and one large pool outdoors. I went there at 9:30 in the evening. There were very few people in the women's bath. Two Japanese old ladies ran away for a while. After that, I enjoyed the entire large bath alone, and I was even a little scared because it was too empty.
There is no public resting place in the large bath, and I am still a little uncomfortable. There is nothing to buy in the hotel at night, only a vending machine selling water.
The hotel needs to check out at 10 o'clock, which is a bit early. After checking out, a business car can be arranged to take guests to the JR station.
I recommend everyone to experience a traditional Japanese hotel. However, the overall style of the hotel is old and traditional, and cannot be compared with domestic five-star resort hotels. Overall satisfied.
