Sunriver Oboke

The room we booked was a traditional tatami room. Although the hotel is old, it is very clean and tidy. The inclusion of breakfast, dinner and JR Oboke pick-up are all highlights. We arrived at Oboke Station at 7:30 in the evening and made an appointment with the hotel to pick us up in advance. We were the only two passengers getting off at the small Oboke station. We were pleasantly surprised to find snowflakes floating in the sky and moved to see that the pick-up driver was standing by the platform holding a sign waiting for us. The hotel has both indoor and outdoor hot springs. We stayed here for one night and went to Fujibashi and Oboke for a cruise the next day. We didn't have to rush and could soak in the hot springs, which was very comfortable.

The hot spring hotel has one accommodation and two meals. The hotel is on the main road, about a 5-minute drive from the Dabu Ke Cruise Terminal. It is convenient for self-driving and the location is good. There is also a Lawson convenience store nearby, which is convenient for buying supplies. The hot spring hotel is relatively old and lacks decoration. It is clean and hygienic. The breakfast buffet is also rich and the dinner is OK! 

Everything was fine. We booked a pick-up car in advance through Ctrip (although we were 10 minutes late and there was only one person in the station in the dark winter night... The view outside the room window was the view in Figure 1. The hotel also provided a timetable for trains passing through this passage. It really deserves the title of a hotel with a superb view. There is a sauna in the hotel bathhouse. In addition to taking a bath, you can also steam. The gel lotion used in the bathhouse is sold in the store on the first floor. I personally think it is very easy to use, refreshing and non-greasy, and moisturizing enough~ In addition, there is a buffet in the morning, not a Japanese set meal. Everything else is impeccable and worth the money!

Friendly service Everything a hot spring hotel should have Hot spring water quality is excellent The landscape is unique Can see the narrow valley mountain view There is also a train crossing Although the hotel provides pick-up and drop-off service from Dabu Ke Station However, because no online contact platform is provided It is difficult for foreign tourists to contact the hotel directly before departure. It is recommended that it is more convenient to drive by yourself Those who don’t drive themselves can take the bus directly to the hotel. But there are not many flights

The advantage is that it is cheap and cost-effective, and it only takes three minutes to drive to Lawson. Disadvantages of not being able to know in advance when booking: 1. What I must give a negative review is that 90% of the water flowing out of the private hot spring faucet is cold tap water, not hot spring water. . . (Tested at 8 pm and 8 am, 90% is cold tap water; at 11 pm, 70% is cold hot spring water) The bathtub has a heating function. You need to press the heating button frequently to circulate and heat the old water. . This is probably why the price of this room type is relatively low (1,700 yuan for one room, two meals). Most of the hot spring hotels I've stayed in that cost more than 4,000 yuan can provide unlimited hot spring water 24 hours a day. A good comment is that when you check in, the hotel will put a basin of hot spring water for you in advance. The quality of this basin of water is the best I have ever soaked in. It is undiluted and as smooth as soapy water. Remember never to drain this basin of water no matter what. . . . See the reason above. Moreover, after you drain the entire basin of water and then add cold water to heat it, you need to wait for more than an hour before you can barely use it. 2. There is no bed, there are tatami partitions. You need to get the mattress from the closet and wait to make the bed. The room is relatively small. The two mattresses will take up one-third of the room, and the large table and chairs in the room will take up the other third, so there is limited space for moving around and placing luggage. 3. There is no bathroom in the toilet, only a toilet. You can only take a shower using the open-air shower on the balcony (the weather is cold at night in May). There are no shampoo, shower gel and other supplies in the room, only a bottle of soapy water. After asking the hotel staff, guests can borrow shampoo and shower gel in the lobby to use in the large public bath, but they are not allowed to borrow it into the room. 4. No river views. There is a very wide platform outside the balcony, which 100% blocks the Big Buwei Canyon and river downstairs. You can only see the mountains and trees on the opposite side, and you need to stick your head out to barely see the bridge and river in the distance. The variety of dinner is acceptable, the taste is good and fresh, but it is difficult to feel full. There is a glass of fruit wine. Breakfast is a buffet style, with more variety than dinner and also delicious. Service: During the day, there is an employee at the front desk who speaks good English and is responsible for check-in and boarding. His attitude is normal (compared to other one-stay, two-food hot spring hotels I have been to, it is relatively bland), and the process is fast. In the evening, the staff at the front desk and restaurant mainly spoke Japanese, and their attitudes were Japanese and very considerate. Hygiene: clean Sound insulation: The room is very quiet. You can hear the sounds next to you on the balcony, and the smell of smoke drifts over.
