Hotel Yuuzan

"Het is comfortabel om te lopen naar de comfortwinkel, maar het duurt ongeveer tien minuten, dus het is gemakkelijk om te kopen van de wijn en de snacks vooraf."

Sasaya Hotel

"What I look for in a hot spring inn is good hot springs and delicious food, and Sasaya delivered on both fronts. I particularly liked the wooden bath, which had a great atmosphere. The meals, both dinner and breakfast, were all delicious, and the portions weren't too large, so I was very satisfied. I also enjoyed the tour of the separate building, Honenmushi, which is a registered tangible cultural property."

"Uitstekende ervaring op een traditionele ryokan! Ik gaf 4/5 sterren voor locatie omdat er geen specifieke uitzichten zijn (het is in het midden van de stad), maar de andere functies meer dan compensatie voor dit. Alle personeelsleden die we ontmoetten waren zeer aardig en professioneel. Eten waren traditioneel en introduceerde ons aan veel interessante gerechten. Onsen waren klein, maar omdat dit hotel slechts acht kamers heeft, zijn ze nooit overvloedig. Ook de onzin zijn open door de nacht die ik bijzonder waardeerde."

"We used public transportation and requested a shuttle to Togura Station. We arrived 6-7 minutes early. While other inns' shuttles waited for the train before the scheduled arrival, ours arrived a little after the scheduled time. It was a very cold, windy, and rainy day, leaving us alone at the station. It would have been fine if the person who came to pick us up had simply said, "Sorry for keeping you waiting in the cold," even if it was just a lie. Instead, they simply said, "Please, Mr./Ms. XX," which was disappointing. Even when I told them I'd carry my own luggage, they brushed my hand aside and touched my luggage without permission, which was extremely unpleasant. Even at cheaper inns, I've never experienced someone arriving a little late to the scheduled time or touching my luggage without permission (brushing my hand away was out of the question). Furthermore, waiting for check-in in the cold, windy, and rainy weather was unpleasant, especially since I was chilled and just wanted to warm up in my room. Not everyone enjoys welcome drinks and sweets, so I think professional customer service would be better if they could understand what the guest wants, let them into their room first, and then decide on the hotel and meal times later. If they're going to make them wait, they could provide them with a blanket or show them closer to the heater. Treating everyone the same doesn't seem worth the price. The only saving grace is that the room and the in-room hot spring were the best I've ever experienced. The furniture and layout were tasteful, and the refurbishment was excellent. I think the shuttle service could be improved. It's unacceptable. Pushing away guests' hands is also unacceptable."

"Cost-cutting measures were noticeable. I went to the hot springs two minutes before 3:30 PM, as I was told it would be open then, but it was pitch black. I returned to my room, contacted the front desk, and they turned on the lights. I was staying in what was advertised as the only suite in the building, so I expected to have breakfast there as well as dinner, but I was with a family with children and it wasn't very relaxing. I wish they had at least provided private dining rooms for meals on the special suite floor. The evacuation route map posted on the room door was also from before the renovation. Dinner was delicious, with local ingredients skillfully prepared."
