Oigawa Railway Kawane Onsen Hotel

I panicked when the journey was delayed at the last minute. Anyway, I barely remember how I got there. I rushed to catch the train to Kawane Onsen Hotel. I finally arrived while looking at the scenery. It was the best relaxing hotel. The food and drinks were also great. It was probably the last train. With a beer in hand through the glass, this place is really the best.

I think this is the easiest place to arrange in the Oi River basin. Next to the roadside station Kawane Onsen. 10 minutes walk from Kawane Onsen Sasamado Station. Accessible by car or train. The railway to Kawane Onsen Sasamado was restored on October 1st, but it was still closed at the time of our stay. It's more suitable for families. The roadside station next door is a day-trip hot spring, but it seems that it also has day-trippers. Sodium chloride spring. Free-flowing spring water. Dinner is buffet style. I don't plan on getting my money's worth because I won't be able to eat if I drink. But I made sure to be hungry. They have a full range of Japanese, Western and Chinese dishes. The sashimi is served as a self-serve seafood bowl without rice. You can eat a mountain of it if you want. What I like about it is the self-serve all-you-can-drink alcohol. So I stayed there, and I don't usually stay at hotels with a buffet dinner with two meals included. Breakfast is also buffet style. There isn't a lot of food, but it's definitely better quality than a business hotel buffet. We also had curry for breakfast, so we ate our fill.
