Kikuchi Kanko Hotel

I had a plan to stay without meals, but the hot springs were really nice. The private bath was the largest I had ever seen. I still want to use it.

The hot springs were great. Breakfast was also delicious.

風呂広くて清潔感もありよかった

I stayed on a room omakase plan for around 6,000 yen per person. (When I searched in order of price, it came up at the top, so I was curious about it for a long time.) Since it was so cheap, I was intrigued because I wanted to see something scary. I am glad that you responded to my inquiries in advance and on the day of check-in in a courteous manner. The front desk is spacious and has a classic atmosphere. We were shown a deluxe Japanese-style room in the east building. It was very spacious with 12.5 tatami mats. There was a 2 tatami room that I didn't know how to use (too small for a futon). Towel paper was installed in the restroom. The room looked a little old, and there were parts of the shelves that were peeling off, and I thought that if it was peeling off so badly, it would be a good idea to just tear it all off. It was a pain to lay out the futon, but it can't be helped in this day and age. I used a double mattress to make it fluffier to my liking. The sheets were crisp and clean. There is a view, but it is pitch black at night and you cannot see the night view. There is a wide variety of comics available in the manga corner near the reception, and you can bring your favorite comics into your room to read. The children took their favorite books such as Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and NANA back to their rooms and read them avidly. In addition, board games such as Othello were available for free rental. The official website said that the public bath was conditioner-in-shampoo, so I rented shampoo from the rental corner (camellia and macheri were available), but in reality, there were shampoos, conditioners, and body shampoos such as horse oil shampoo and POLA. Soaps are well stocked. There were also sake lees packs and facial cleansing foam. The indoor bath has free flowing water, but it's so hot that you can't soak in it without adding water. I was able to add water using the hose connected to the water supply. It was very spacious and felt good. The spring quality is alkaline and soft, but not as thick as Yamaga Onsen. The open-air bath located one floor apart is similarly spacious, with a hot spring in the center that surrounds a rock. For dinner, it was written that the main dish would be shabu-shabu, but there was no hot pot on the table, so I was able to enjoy it freely in buffet style. There were steaks grilled on tiles, crispy tempura, sashimi, and sushi. Personally, I found the king crab very delicious. It was a large half and had good flavor and was moist, so I ended up eating a lot. In the alcohol corner, there was a draft beer machine that automatically tilted and served glasses (Asahi Super Dry). There was also a variety of chuhai, Chilean red and white wine, and a lot of shochu. The sake called "Kikuchi" was delicious. The fruits were watermelon and melon, both of which were sweet. There were also many small toys and gifts for children. At the breakfast buffet, there was a seafood bowl corner made with salmon roe and sweet shrimp, and I loved salmon roe, so I had a lot of it. What I am concerned about is the smell of drainage around the east building large bath and changing room. It's been a long time since the store opened for business after being closed, so I thought it might have a similar smell, but I hope it's improved the next time I visit. I felt that this hotel had excellent value for money, with luxurious meals and hot springs.
