Biyunoyado Ryochiku Bettei

The hotel has indoor, outdoor, and private baths. All of the baths have 100% natural hot springs. The water is clear, slightly brown-colored, and smells of sulfur. You can check the crowdedness on the TV in the room. The food is good. In summary, it is a big hotel with a nice view that is child-friendly and has 100% natural hot springs.

Great place to take kids. You can eat in your room for dinner (delicious, btw), breakfast buffet has pancakes and other kid foods, AND they have a kids room full of toys.

Stayed here from 4th Jan to 6th Jan 2024. Rooms: the only factor that prevented the stay to be outstanding. At first glance, the "Washitsu" or Japanese traditional style rooms were really dated. But that's not to say it was unhygienic or unclean. Service: Great. From check-in, replenishing of our room amenities and fulfilling our requests, the staff were attentive and exceeded expectations. Food: The in-room Kaiseki for dinner was phenomenal. Using local produce, we enjoyed a filling and satisfying 10-course dinner over 2 nights. The room was meticulously prepared and set for dinner by their elderly but sprightly staff who were so kind and caring in ensuring that dinner was a pleasant affair for us. Onsen: 3 types of Onsens. Indoor (main), outdoor and private (available at a fee). Temperature is good, water was revitalizing. The outdoor onsen can comfortably take about 3 to 4 pax at one time, so best to go in off hours. Bonus: FREE DRINKS (including alcoholic) at the lounge and rest areas from 1500-2100. Water, juices, tea, beers, high balls, sakes and the like. Great bang for the buck. Overall, wonderful stay. Dated room aside, it makes for a good getaway from city life.
