Semi Onsen

3 kinds of ONSEN ( super hot, hot, warm) was in the hotel. Quiet location. So, nice.

在那邊住了9天 地點在半山腰 距離夏油高原滑雪場還有十來分鐘車程 環境很舒服 隨房附的餐點也還不錯但是天天吃有點膩 外出用餐需要告知前台不在酒店用餐 不過不退回不用餐費用這點就讓人覺得心裡有點疙瘩 其他的一切都很好 溫泉池很多樣化 下雪天的時候泡露天溫泉是最合適的

Shoes were taken off at the door and the hotel has a policy of ‘socks or bare feet’, which was fine by us. Socks were supplied in the room, if you didn’t want to wear your own. The hotel is a bit of a maze but we were guided personally to our rooms, and staff made sure that we had everything that we needed. The room was a new experience for us, with tatami mats set up with a table and chairs when we arrived and then converted for sleeping with futon mattresses. Unfortunately, I’m rather taller than your average ryokan guest and so spilled over the edges of the mattress. The small pillows (filled with buckwheat?) were also a bit of a challenge. Facilities in the room include a sink and a toilet but no shower. This is zero problem because there is a huge choice of different onsens, all of which are excellent. Traditional dinners and breakfasts were served in the dining room; huge feasts of small dishes, all beautifully presented. I suspect that I made many gaffs in the manner in which I ate everything but I thoroughly enjoyed it all. We also very much enjoyed the cultural dance show, and making use of the karaoke room! Thank you to all the staff who made us all feel so special and introduced us (gently) to the ryokan concept.
