Nasu Onsen Sanraku

I stayed here for the first time in 25 years.

I stayed in a special Room, and it was almost too spacious. The futon and pillow were excellent, and I slept soundly for the first time in a while. One thing worth mentioning for anyone considering a stay is that there are no vending machines at all. If you think you might want a snack or canned coffee, be sure to buy it in advance at a nearby convenience store—there’s really nothing available on-site. The meals weren’t quite “the best,” but they were tasty. As for the baths, the in-Room bath was on the hotter side, while the large public bath and open-air bath were slightly cooler, but both were very good. Service felt somewhat limited, perhaps due to having fewer staff members. It didn’t bother me much, but I did hear other guests complaining about it. Maybe because I stayed on a weekday—and my memory is vague compared with about 25 years ago—it felt quieter than before. If you’d like to relax at your own pace while avoiding too much interaction with others, this Accommodation may be a good fit.
