[Accommodation fee] 1 night, 2 meals. 119,250 yen/3 people. Japanese-Western style room with tea room living room (maximum 4 people) [Comments] I made a reservation online at the beginning of April. Please note that cancellation fees will be charged from 21 days before. It was a one-night trip with my elderly mother. It is just a short walk from Kanzanji SIC, past the zoo. Right in front of you, across the road, is the Hamana Lake and Kanzanji ropeway. The front entrance is not large, but there is a tea incense burner burning on the path to the front desk, and a pleasant smell is floating around. The front desk is on the third floor, and first of all, I make a reservation for the local "Bicharaku Hospitality" new tea tasting experience. I had a little time, so I went to the large public bath. I was able to relax in the indoor and outdoor baths separated by glass. There was also a quiz during the new tea tasting experience, which was fun. I then went to "Onsen Iroha". At the end of the class on the quality of the spring water and how to bathe, you can drink "amazake" (sweet sake) which is also available in the refrigerator in your room for a fee. You can also get a "yu-in book", but I wonder how much it will cost to complete the collection. Dinner from 5:30 p.m. is a kaiseki meal in a semi-private room. The hot food is hot, the cold food is cold, everything is delicious, and the staff are very attentive to your needs. In the evening, we had "ochake". They also had non-alcoholic drinks. Our room was on the sixth floor, but we could see the whole view of Oku-Hamanako Lake right in front of us, and we could see the ropeway and the lights of the Hamana Lake SA in the distance. The bathroom only has a shower, but we didn't use it because we went to the large bath three times. Furoshiki (Japanese-style cloth) was also prepared and we were allowed to take it home, so we touched it up and it has now become our "noren" (curtain curtain). Tea is provided for "relaxation sencha" when you arrive, "good night sencha" before going to bed, and "awakening sencha". The large bath is alternated between men and women. The morning bath was an open-air bath with tea balls floating in a large wooden barrel. There was no view, but this was also satisfying. Before breakfast, we did tea picking exercises. And breakfast was at the same table, and the miso soup was delicious. Everything was worth the price.
