Manten no Yado: All Rooms Equipped with Open-Air Natural Hot Springs

This secluded Accommodation in the mountains (with a day-use bathing Facility and a ski resort next door) is perfect for relaxing. With only a few Rooms, it was quiet, and since every Room has an open-air bath, I was able to enjoy the Onsen as many times as I liked without worrying about anyone else. The adjacent bathing Facility is also available, but the in-room open-air bath was spacious and more than enough. Breakfast and dinner were delicious as well. I didn’t have any particular complaints, but it wasn’t an especially memorable stay. Despite the upscale-style design, parts of the Facility felt more like a Business Hotel; although tasty, the meals didn’t convey much individuality (a clear signature); and the service felt slightly businesslike. I felt that with just small changes in these areas, it could leave a much stronger positive impression. Overall, with the spacious guest Room and open-air bath, it was good value for money, so I’d like to visit again.

This was my second stay, and once again it was quiet and truly relaxing.Since the open-air bath is in the Room, I ended up soaking in it five times this time (lol).Last time the weather was clear, so I enjoyed a sky full of stars while soaking at night, but this time there was an unfortunate light misty rain, which was a bit disappointing. Still, although the meals were almost the same as last time, they were delicious as always, and I was very satisfied with the staff’s service.It’s an Onsen Accommodation that’s perfect for a real break—I’ll definitely stay again.
