Best Hachimantai Spa Hotels

Free coffee was available in the lobby from 7:00 to 21:00. I was very happy because I couldn't drink coffee on this Hachimantai trip. The desk in the lobby was designed to be at a height where you could read books, and there were seats surrounding the fireplace, so the furnishings were relaxing. The windows were big and comfortable. I enjoyed playing online games with 4 people at the desk in the lobby. There were many outlets for charging in the living room, which was also a high point. I also liked the fact that it was easy to save energy because the light switch was arranged in one place. (Because if the light switch is broken in the room, it will be too much to turn off all of them.) And the color of the light is good (the color temperature is low and calm), the amount of light is necessary and sufficient, and it was adjustable. I thought that this was a well-thought-out hotel. There was plenty of ice water and hot water. However, I wanted tea because it was only tea. (I went out by car and bought it at a small shop.) There are only ２ coin laundry for washing and drying, and I think it's off-season in summer, but it was still crowded. The bath is also written as Max for 18 people, and it seems that you need to choose the time. If you like hot springs, you can visit the hot springs outside. I had a mini French buffet for one night out of two nights, and dinner at a nearby restaurant, Northern Grande for one night, so I never got tired of it. It was adjacent to the forest of the prefecture and I enjoyed walking. The ski season is also good because it is a hotel with autumn leaves and ski resorts. It is a hotel that I want to stay again.

It was the first stay with 3 people for 1 night. There is a building along the river, and it is a quiet place, so you can relax. The room is a Japanese-style room, there is no toilet and washbasin, and there are shared facilities along the corridor. Lack of confirmation when booking. There is a sound of walking in the hallway, and the voice next door is also a little leaked. There were more meals than I could eat, but the taste was not good enough for me. There were fish, wild vegetables, tempura, etc., but it's a matter of taste. Breakfast was not enough to eat, so it was saved. All the staff are kind. A day trip bath is also available from 8:00 in the morning, so next time I will use it for a day trip bath. The open-air bath is dark underfoot and there are steps, so be careful when bathing at night. The outdoor bath was cloudy, so I couldn't see the stairs at night.

As written in many reviews, the water quality of the hot spring was really good. Plenty of hot water was flowing, and I was satisfied with both the indoor and outdoor baths. Even after getting out of the hot spring, my body was warm and warm, and although it was a chilly day, I fell asleep comfortably. Although it was November, there were a few stink bugs in the room, but I wonder if it can't be helped because it's deep in the mountains... The room was old but clean. Both kamameshi and sukiyaki were delicious, but the seafood cheese fondue was rich and had kamameshi, but it was served like a risotto over white rice. I was satisfied with the volume as well. However, the ice cream and matcha mousse of the buffet style dessert was not good. Breakfast was quite crowded, so I was worried, but it seems that corona measures were taken, so I was relieved. I enjoyed both rice and croissants, and I ate too much because there was a wide variety. I was very grateful for the takeout coffee service.

I don't think this is an inn that I would recommend to anyone. There is no shower in the bathroom, only water comes out of the faucet. When I wash my hair, I scoop up the hot water in the water tank that I have saved up with a bucket and wash it. Because this hot water uses geothermal heat, it is often a little hot, so in that case you need to add water to adjust the temperature. This time, there was a guest washing his head with water in front of a faucet separate from the hot water tank. I was a little worried that I would catch a cold because it was so cold that I was about to jump when I washed the shampoo. There are only two washrooms in the bathroom where you can reach the hot water tank, so I think you should wait until those washrooms open. This inn is not for the faint of heart. Hair dryers are also available for rent at the front desk to avoid the effects of hydrogen sulfide gas. Due to geothermal heating, fine temperature adjustment is not possible. The room temperature is controlled by opening and closing the windows. In autumn, even if there is a screen door, stink bugs will enter without mercy. On the premise that stink bugs will enter from the beginning, packing tape for trapping is placed in the guest room. If you don't like stink bugs, you'll have to catch them yourself. This inn is not suitable for people who are not good at insects. The toilet in the guest room does not have a warm water washing toilet seat, and only cold water comes out of the hand wash basin. Because this is also affected by hydrogen sulfide gas, the equipment is kept to a minimum. (There was only one communal toilet with a warm-water washing toilet seat.) This is just a quick summary, and it may be a bit unbearable for people who are used to a typical inn. The bottom of the open-air bath is also full of fallen leaves in autumn, so it is necessary to enjoy bathing with the leaves. However, I feel that the advantages such as outstanding sulfur springs, delicious food although not luxurious, and very pleasant customer service outweigh the disadvantages mentioned above. So I have stayed here many times. This was my first visit since the outbreak of the Corona vortex, and I was impressed by how much money was spent on truly necessary measures, such as installing alcohol disinfectants in each guest room. (This is the only inn that has alcohol for disinfection in each guest room, probably to prevent damages caused by pickpockets.) I recommend it to anyone.
