Pyramid Onsen

Trip.comで予約して、クレジットカードで既に前払い済であったが、当日ホテルの受付で２倍以上の金額を請求された。何かの間違いだと思い、諸々確認してもらって正規の金額にて宿泊できた。

Three bad points: 1. Bath towels are not standard equipment. Small towels are provided, but bath towels cost 210 yen each. I was surprised that there are hotels these days that don't provide bath towels. This was probably the first time I've ever experienced this. 2. Basically, they only accept cash payments. They don't accept credit cards, let alone electronic payments. 3. The bath is only open until 9pm, which is inconvenient. The toilet, sink, and bath are shared, but the price was the same as a regular business hotel. If it was a capsule hotel price, I could tolerate it, but frankly, it's not cost-effective. Perhaps because they are cutting back on labor costs, cleaning was not thorough and the hotel did not feel clean. The owner seems to be elderly, and I get the feeling that he is running the hotel with the mindset of the Showa era.

Third stay. This was the only place where I could stay overnight without meals, cheaply, and make reservations on the same day. The room is about 6 tatami Japanese-style room on the second floor of the main building. It's always there. It's old and the curtains are a bit dusty, but I was a little tired from sleeping in the car the first night, so it was nice that it was cheap and I could use wifi. I could hear the footsteps of people walking in the hallway, and sometimes I could even hear people snoring! If you are someone who can find this place interesting, I wonder if you can stay here. No bath towels. Use the shared toilets and washrooms inside the toilets. The water in the bath feels thick. The changing room is cold in winter. There is only one small hair dryer, so I dried it in the room with the hair dryer I brought. On the way from Nasu, there were about 2 convenience stores before arriving at Pyramid Onsen. I always buy lunch boxes, side dishes, and breakfast for the next day at a supermarket in Nasu. There was a microwave on the first floor of the main building, so I was able to heat it up. It's quite disappointing if you're expecting a normal hotel or inn, but when I go to Nasu again, I think I'll stay here if there aren't any cheap hotels available. Pyramid Genki Onsen was also broadcast on TV, so if you are interested, please check it out!
