YukairouKikuya

I came here during the Golden Week in early May, which was different from the Golden Week between China and Japan. There were very few people. I visited all the hot springs on the day of check-in. I could also enjoy the public hot springs alone. It was very friendly. If I had known this, I would not have booked a room with a bath. I didn't use it, and the bath in the room was indeed too restrictive. Also because it was not a public holiday, the small restaurants near the hotel were not open. The hotel itself did not provide lunch. You had to take the bus opposite the hotel back to Shuzenji tram station to eat. The environment was beautiful, and there were a variety of breakfast and dinner dishes, some delicious and some just average. It is said that you can order a special menu on the local website, including grilled wagyu... I envy it. There are late-night ramen, ice cream, coffee, tea, juice, etc. that are always available. In short, it was quite enjoyable and comfortable, and it was worth it even if it was a bit expensive.

Because we were traveling by car, it was not very difficult to get to this hotel, and there is a parking lot outside the door. We live in a new building, so we have to cross a bridge, and it rains that day. We have three suitcases, so we are a little embarrassed, but overall it is OK. The room is so beautiful, so big and clean. Note that there is no window in the shower area, but there is a bamboo curtain. It is recommended to shower first, then directly soak in the hot spring, get up and shower again. That way you won't get married. The hotel has a total of four private baths and two public baths. In the evening we had kaiseki cuisine, and in the morning we had Japanese breakfast. Both of us thought it tasted good, and no one else said it tasted bad. (Everyone has different tastes) I hope to stay again if I have the opportunity in the future.

It has a sense of history. Celebrities and royal families have stopped by. There are hot spring pools in three places, an ancient private bath, a private bath + 5~8 people bath, and a large bath. There are free drinks and beer at many places 24 hours a day. There is milk and snacks in the lounge above the large bath during the day. The milk is especially delicious. I drank a bottle in one go. They also provide supper soup noodles in the evening, which tastes really good. It is more than 2 kilometers away from Shuzenji Railway Station. The bus stop is just opposite the door, which can go directly to Shuzenji JR Station. There are also passing buses, which run every 20 minutes or so. When you come out of JR Shuzenji Station, there are taxi stations and bus stations on the left, which is very convenient for taking a taxi. Shuzenji is not a big place. I walked around it in 2~3 hours. I didn't expect that there is a train that goes directly to Tokyo Station. There are two trains a day, which saves the trouble of reversing. The attached picture is the timetable of the direct train. It seems that there are only five carriages at Shuzenji Station. When I got off the train in Tokyo, I saw that it became more than ten carriages.

The room was nice, the food was average, it was really average, it was my first time taking a hot spring bath in Japan and it smelled like disinfectant, this was the hotel I was most looking forward to during this trip
