Unzen Fukudaya

No need to say more. I came with my friends, but I will go again with my parents. The sulfur hot spring smells faintly, but my skin feels smooth and soft. The service is of course the best. The old manager? The staff? is very kind. The private open-air bath in the photo requires an additional fee and a reservation in advance. The public open-air bath is more beautiful, so I would definitely go. This is a place where many elderly people and locals live. Unless your parents are in poor physical condition, it is a perfect place for a filial piety trip. The kaiseki is very good. The only downside is accessibility, but this seems to be the case with all good hot springs. Honestly, there is a bus stop right in front that goes to Isahaya Station Bus Terminal or Nagasaki Station Bus Terminal, so the long bus ride (+ the bus goes up a winding mountain road for about 30 minutes) is worth it. You don't have to walk with your luggage. If you really care, you can rent a car, but I don't...

I originally wanted to book Yunxianjie, but it happened that there was no room on that day, so I chose this Futian House. Since there are no comments, I am a little nervous, but I am very satisfied after checking in. I thought it would be very inconvenient to travel around Yunxian by public transportation. In fact, the bus station is at the entrance of the hotel, so it’s very convenient~ The hotel is a traditional Japanese-style hot spring hotel, but the decoration of the rooms is a combination of Japanese and Western, very modern. The structure of the hotel is a bit complicated, with a main building and an annex. When checking in, the route will be introduced in detail, as well as the different locations for bathing every day. Hot spring hotel, the main thing is to soak in hot springs. There are 4 hot springs in total, 2 indoors and 2 outdoors. Male and female are switched every day. The indoors and the outdoors are separated, which is a bit inconvenient. There are few people, and it feels great to be able to enjoy the hot springs alone. One stay and two meals, dinner and breakfast the next day are in the same private room, both are very rich.

As the scale of the hotel has increased, the customer service has changed and the price range has changed accordingly. Unfortunately, the "hospitality" that was previously available, such as the car transfer service to the parking lot, the amulet service at check-out, and the room meal plan, has disappeared. It was a very ordinary luxury hotel.

It was my first trip to Unzen Onsen, where I combined hot springs and hiking, and not only was the hot spring amazing, but the food was also great. I had my meal in a private room, but it was a large portion, so I had to eat less rice, but I still felt full. The room was also clean. There was a wood stove in the lobby, and it was lit since it was cold in the morning on the day we left. I think it would be a good idea to visit again in the winter. Also, because it was the off-season after the fall foliage season, it wasn't crowded, which made me want to come again.
