Yudanaka Shibu Onsenkyo Seseragi no Yado Hotel Hoshikawakan

Please note in advance that the Accommodation is older, so it may not suit guests who compare it with city Hotels or the latest Hotels. I also felt there were quite a few foreign staff members, likely in anticipation of inbound tourism, but their Japanese was very fluent and polite, which made me feel at ease.And for this price range, the service is outstanding. A welcome drink bar, welcome beer, and welcome oden were all provided free of charge. I had the oden egg, konjac, and daikon—everything was delicious. Dinner was an all-you-can-eat buffet including sukiyaki, with sushi as well. I was genuinely impressed by the quality of the pork loin—it tasted even better than the beef. Everything was excellent. Crab was also all-you-can-eat. The dessert corner items like mini cakes and Shine Muscat ice cream were delicious too.A private open-air bath can be reserved for one family for 30 minutes. I thought it might be short at first, but the water was hot enough to feel fully satisfied while still being able to finish within the time limit. Free late-night ramen was also offered; excuse me for saying so, but despite its appearance it tasted surprisingly good and really impressed me. Breakfast was also all-you-can-eat. I made a negitoro rice bowl—the fish was very fresh and delicious. Bread and other items were unlimited as well. Overall, I felt extremely satisfied with the meals for this price range, and I would definitely like to visit again.I’m posting photos just to convey the atmosphere; since I don’t eat much, what’s shown may look modest in quantity, but everything is all-you-can-eat.

We stayed here with both sets of parents as three families.After a lively dinner for the first time in a while, we relaxed in the private bath and the large public bath.Karaoke was free for one hour per Room, so we ended up with three Rooms for three hours! We initially wanted just one hour, but at the staff’s suggestion we made a Reservation for two hours,and had a great time singing classic hits—it flew by.We got a little hungry and even enjoyed the late-night ramen.Many of the staff appeared to be from overseas, but everyone greeted us with smiles and provided pleasant service.Thank you very much for taking such good care of us. It was a wonderful trip. Thank you again.We would love to visit again.
