Hotel Taihei Bekkan

The first thing they said when I checked in was, "We can't contact you unless you make a reservation through a domestic website." If that's the case, they should make it so that you can't make reservations. I gave them my phone number and address as asked and checked in. Although my first impression was bad, they were polite in explaining the rental of yukata and amenities, and they were also kind enough to help me rent a bicycle. The non-smoking room smelled of cigarettes, but I knew about it and it was within the range of what I could tolerate. There are not many shops in the area, but it is close to a tram station that can be reached from Ryomatsuyama Station without changing trains, and if you rent a bicycle, you can get to Dogo Onsen in about 10 minutes on a nearly flat road, so I didn't have any particular complaints about the location. Along with the price, this is a hotel that I can recommend.

The price/performance ratio is very good, only over 200. The place is a bit old, but still hygienic and clean. We stayed in the annex building, and if we wanted to soak in the hot springs, we had to walk out 100 meters past the annex building. There are hot springs on the third and tenth floors, and there are also open-air ones, which are good. However, I think the location is a bit poor. It is a bit far away from the business district and Dogo Onsen.

It's just a short walk from Shimizucho Station, so I didn't feel any inconvenience when getting around.
