Kamimaki Onsen Tatsumikan

We arrived late for check-in, and we really appreciated you adjusting the dinner time. Both dinner and breakfast were carefully prepared, and everything was delicious. The building felt a bit old, but the Room had been renovated and was very comfortable. I didn’t realize the bath featured a mural by Kiyoshi Yamashita when I went in, but it became a wonderful memory.

I stayed in a renovated Room with a sauna.The Room was spacious and comfortable.I’d like to visit again, so I’d like to point out a few things that concerned me.About the amenities in the Room:There were two single-use sets (osaji).At minimum, you use them twice for breakfast, right?It wasn’t enough for two people.When I called to request more, I was told it would be 500 yen per set,so I paid 1,000 yen.Since I wanted to enjoy the Onsen and sauna many times, I use lotion each time.In Rooms at a similar price range, it’s common to have proper branded products rather than single-use items,so this was disappointing.The “totonoi” chair for relaxing after the sauna smelled terrible and had sweat stains, so I couldn’t sit on it.The tiles around the shower also had mildew and smelled bad.There were lots of spider webs on the stone wall, and many dead insects fell down.If cleaning is done properly every day, I don’t think that many spider webs would build up.The decorative houseplant in the Room was covered in dust. Please install real plants instead.I was surprised by how much alcohol was stocked in the refrigerator. The labels were roughly handwritten as well, and if they are paid items,it would be better to offer just a few bottles as “recommended by the Accommodation.”Keeping it simple would be best.As this is a long-established Ryokan, many of the staff are older,and talking with them was soothing.The food was incredibly delicious—I was very satisfied.The large public bath felt so old that it honestly scared me (lol).On my way out, I suggested replacing the sauna chair to the proprietress, so when I visit again I hope it will have been replaced!I’ll come again. Thank you very much.
