We stayed in a river-side Standard Twin. It felt like a slightly more luxurious version of Dormy Inn—keeping all the meticulous attention to detail Dormy is known for, but with extra touches of indulgence. It was fantastic. What we loved: ● The dim, forest-like atmosphere in the lobby ● The view of the river and trees from the room ● Being able to open the window and let fresh air in ● Listening to the sound of the river all night ● The in-room hinoki (cypress?) bath and Dormy-style setup that fills quickly and effortlessly ● A long, narrow room layout with the beds placed in a darker area away from the window—very calming ● A hand-grinder coffee set—wonderful ● A sink at the bar area above the fridge—amazing. First time I’ve seen this. No need to deal with leftover drinks in the bathroom area! ● Loungewear that doubles as pajamas, just like Dormy Inn—perfect. No need to bring extra clothes for inside the hotel ● An entryway where you take off your shoes before stepping into the room—nice touch ● Slightly more upscale in-room amenities (skincare/toiletries), which was a pleasant surprise ● The young woman at reception was very friendly and welcoming ● The older gentleman serving breakfast was also very kind and shared helpful information with us ● A large sofa in the room that you can really stretch out on What could be improved: ■ The window you can open for ventilation is small. When it’s hot, it doesn’t let enough air through—you’d want a larger opening for better airflow ■ Breakfast: I liked the steamed vegetables in the Western set, but I wasn’t sure why they were meant to be eaten with French dressing. They were delicious with olive oil and spice salt (served with the egg) instead ■ I would have appreciated slightly thicker bath towels ■ There are no bath towels provided at the public bath (so if you forget to bring one from your room, you’re stuck). Since we used it multiple times a day, it would be nice if there were 2–3 towels per person in each room… though given everything else they provide, I understand Overall, between the incredible view and great hot water, it was an excellent experience. It’s extremely far away—but maybe that’s exactly what makes it special. I’d love to come back.
