Mikawaya Ryokan

An old-style hot spring hotel is run by an elder and his son. The rooms are Japanese-style, but they do not have toilets and are shared in the corridor. There is no elevator, so you have to carry your luggage up the stairs yourself, which is quite difficult. The advantage is that it is peaceful and quiet, and the red leaves seen from the room are also beautiful. The hotel's dinner is even more delicious. If you want to retreat and relax, this package is a good choice.

Okutama Glacier Mayanoyu Mikawaya Hotel, about 400 meters away from Okutama Station, can be reached in 5 minutes on foot. It is a hotel with a history of nearly 200 years. It is a traditional Japanese-style hotel with tatami rooms and a beautiful view outside the room window! Although we came at the end of the cherry blossom season, the cherry blossoms have withered! But the scenery outside the window is still beautiful! It is recommended to be in the maple leaf 🍁 season in November, it should be the most beautiful at that time! In addition, the hotel has also entertained the current Emperor during the Crown Prince period! Both dinner and breakfast were good! Local specialties!

The inside of the building seemed old, but it was kept clean. The room was on the third floor. There is no elevator and the bath is in the basement, so it was a bit difficult to go up four flights of stairs after taking a bath. The men's bath is located further down the stairs in the basement, so you will have to climb five flights of stairs to get back to the third floor. Also, there was no toilet in the room, and the only toilet for women on the third floor was the ``Japanese'' toilet. Tsureai said, ``For men, there is Japanese and Western style, although there is no washlet.We are the only customers on the third floor, so we can use Western style for men.' I had no choice, so I did it that way. Also, there was no safe in the room, but there was a shared refrigerator outside (Wi-Fi was available in the room). Now, regarding the bath, there is no open-air bath. However, no one came to the women's bath, so I was lucky to have it reserved for myself. Mornings start at 6:30, so I was able to use it by myself. Ventilation was not bad even in the indoor bath, which was good. There are about 6 washrooms. There were no amenities provided. Aside from dinner, breakfast was extremely simple. There was no dried fish or fish, and the miso soup was less than half full. It would be nice to have it in a bowl like miso soup. I wish it had at least a small natto. My companion was also disappointed with the breakfast, saying, ``Even though I stayed at a Japanese-style inn, I was really disappointed.''
