Probably my favourite hotel room in all my Japan trips. The room was really spacious, had a great balcony, fantastic view, the shower, bathtub and dressing area was big. Because of the hotel's location being right next to Yumebutai (or actually part of it), it is a destination in itself. We spent a morning just exploring Yumebutai and it was nice and chill. We took a cab after Demon Slayer night walk at Nijigen no Mori to the hotel (was just too tired to figure out the bus), it cost us about 2000yen for a 7-10 mins ride? the hotel is one of the main stops for bus route and we were able to take a direct bus back to Kobe Sannomiya the next day. Highly recommended!
ผผู้เข้าพักVery nice Japanese hotel with good service and facilities (public hot spring bath where women and men are separate and several private hot spring baths that I recommend to book in advance). We also had an amazing massage in the hotel spa. The down side would be that the hotel doesn't offer western beds (only Japansese futons) and that the personnel doesn't speak very good English (but are very nice and are trying their best to help)
ผผู้เข้าพักLocation is not hard to find with clear signages and correct Google Navi - winding on the mountain road but manageable (on the way down though Google led us to a private road but it's not relevant here). The building is gorgeous - a little inconvenient dragging the luggage from the car to the room if you have lots of stuff. We kept the large suitcase in the car and only brought in what we needed for the night. Front desk lady's attitude was a little cold. There's no Futon service though - it shocked us a little that we had to lay out the futon in the Tatami room ourselves. All the Ryokans/Jhalf board hotels we went to would have Futon service during dinner time. Also the room was cold and we couldn't get the A/C to heat up properly; there might not be a heating function at all? There was also loud banging noise at some points (it was windy that day), but thanks goodness someone fixed it before we went to bed. Breakfast and dinner are OK, and meal service is good.
