Hotel Lomosa Minakami Riverside Resort & Spa

The tagline “an extraordinary space” is spot on, and it was a truly refreshing experience.■Room The Room was very spacious, and the bed was large and wonderfully plush. As mentioned in Reviews, many of the appliances were from overseas brands, but they were made by high-performance manufacturers such as Hisense. The vertical air conditioner worked extremely well—it was so comfortable I wished I could take one home.■Facility There was a 24-hour drink bar, and I especially appreciated that they had Hi-C Peach, which you rarely see these days. There was also an amusement area with go-karts and projection coloring, which made for a really fun stay.■Dining All-you-can-eat Chinese cuisine with an order-style buffet. The fried chicken was delicious. They also offered seafood such as crab and shrimp, so we enjoyed it plenty.■Onsen I like soaking in lukewarm water for a long time, so the temperature was perfect and I could relax without rushing. The Reservation-only open-air bath was cold in midwinter, but being able to enjoy a private soak under a sky full of stars was wonderful.―― Points for improvement ――・Dinner buffet It was disappointing that there weren’t any shellfish like those shown in the photos (abalone, whelk/tsubugai, turban shell/sazae, or hard clams) despite the description suggesting “a wide variety of fresh seafood.” I love shellfish, but on that day the only option available was oysters—the one thing I can’t eat. (My companion said the oysters were plump and delicious, which made it even more disappointing.)・Bed legs Both my companion and I hit our little toes on the bed legs when getting up. It’s partly our own carelessness, but it hurt quite a bit—adding protective padding such as sponge guards would make it safer.・Cold areas inside the building While the Room itself was warm, areas like the corridor leading to the large public bath were very cold. I understand this may be unavoidable given the location/climate, but we would appreciate it if you could consider installing electric heaters or similar measures.I’ve listed some requests at the end, but overall we were satisfied with our stay. In particular, the drink bar and projection coloring were great—next time we’d love to bring our child as well. We’d like to stay again if we have another chance. (If possible, we’d be happy if the Accommodation Fee could be a bit lower.)

It was a quiet day with few guests, but the foreign staff were very polite and excellent! The meals were delicious, and the Chinese cuisine was made-to-order and served fresh at the table. At checkout, we received a small souvenir, making our stay enjoyable until the very end. I would love to visit again!
