I stayed here for two nights during the long weekend. I made a reservation from the website with a plan that includes two meals. The price was not expensive for the long weekend, so I did not expect much from the "Sakurajima Gozen" meal, but it was not so poor, it was delicious, and I was full. The restaurant staff and the front desk staff were kind, and I had a pleasant stay, but there was one thing. I told the staff (old lady) at the large bath that I would use the washing machine next to the large bath at night, and paid 100 yen to wash my clothes. At that time, the dryer was in use and running, but since it was 100 yen for 30 minutes, I thought it would be finished by the time I finished washing, so I started washing. After 30 minutes, the laundry was finished, so I came out of the room and the dryer was still running. It was a dryer like the ones you have at home, and there was no indication of "how many minutes left," so I didn't know when it would finish. When I asked the old lady staff, "How long will it take to finish?", she said, "I don't know," and "It's faster to dry it in the room than in the machine." I waited for a while, but there was no sign of it stopping. Since I was leaving tomorrow, I had no choice but to dry it in the dryer, so I waited. The old lady staff should receive money from people who use the washing machine and dryer, and it would be good if she kept track of what time they were used, but she didn't seem to care, and she was hard of hearing and couldn't answer properly, so it was a bit... I felt that it was a bit strange. In the end, the dryer ran for an hour, and someone said, "It's time, so I came to pick it up," and I don't know if they were a customer or a staff member, but the dryer was free before 10 p.m. Someone came to do laundry during that time, but it seemed like they were a staff member. Since it's not a coin-operated washing machine or dryer, I don't know when it will finish, and it doesn't seem like the fees are properly managed, so I thought it might be better not to use it because it's a hassle.
