This hotel is located in the center of Kofu City. It was founded 135 years ago this year. The interior of the building was not modern and felt a little old. The carpet was warped and a little stuck. The room was a deluxe twin, so it was spacious and the bed was big. However, there were some big old stains on the chairs from drinks, which put me off a little. There was no safe, so I was a little worried. My partner didn't mind and said that the room was spacious and nice. The hot spring water was black, but the bathroom was dark, so it was hard to see if it was black. The black hot spring deposits were floating. It was a nice, smooth hot spring. As a measure against COVID-19, first call the front desk before going to the bath to check if the bath locker is available, and if it is, go to the front desk and get a locker key (return the key to the front desk when you finish bathing). Women also enter the security code on the door. The women's bath is only available for three people, and there were three washing areas. When I went, one day-tripper was using it. However, it was a summer day with 34 degrees outside, and there was not much wind in the indoor bath, and the bath water was about 40 degrees, so it was quite hot and difficult. The day trippers gave up and left without soaking. They were neighbors, and said they sometimes come here because the water is nice. Later, I saw a paper posted there, and it said that the water is directly from the source, and no water is added or heated. However, the men's bath was not that hot. There seem to be about six washing areas in the men's bath. By the way, I thought that the front desk must have a lot of trouble with handing over the keys to the bath. Also, there was no air conditioning in the changing room, only a fan, so it was difficult to get out of the bath in this hot season. We had dinner and breakfast at a restaurant called "Nishiki" (I added my comment to Nishiki). The service at the front desk and the restaurant was good. It was founded in 1887. The history of Danrokan on the hotel's website is a very interesting read about the history of the hotel (ryokan).
