Chikusenso Onsen

My spouse and I stayed for two nights.At first, we made a Reservation through Chikusenso’s website, but there was a limited-time offer on IKYU, so we changed the Reservation to book via IKYU.As our stay approached, Chikusenso contacted us to confirm. Although we did not note on IKYU that we do not like seafood, they called just in case because our canceled Reservation on their website mentioned it. We truly appreciated their thoughtful attention.Dinner was kaiseki cuisine, and even without using seafood it was just as delicious as the standard menu.We also felt the staff’s warm hospitality and were able to relax.The Onsen left our skin silky smooth and warmed us through to the core.

Nestled in a quiet forest, it was very peaceful and relaxing.The bath warmed me through to the core, and I was very satisfied.Overall I was satisfied, but there were a few points that stood out.When making the Reservation, I would have liked to be asked whether there were any foods I cannot eat or dislike.The drinks in the Room refrigerator included water as well as juice and beer, but since we made the trip all the way here,I would have liked to see local options such as regional sake or local wine.It also would have been even better if there had been half bottles available for welcome drinks.I had hoped for in-room dining, but the restaurant was lovely, and it was nice to change things up and enjoy dinner there.The food was delicious, but if I may be picky,I think the appetizer, steak, and dessert could have used a bit more creativity.I was satisfied with the grilled dish.If anything, breakfast was better.The service was very courteous. In particular, seeing the foreign staff working so hard left a strong impression on me,and I found it very pleasant.Some Reviews mentioned that women’s amenities were not well stocked and inconvenient,but everything was properly provided during my stay and I did not feel any inconvenience.In addition to yukata robes, there were also samue loungewear sets,which do not come undone while sleeping—this was great.I may have written some harsh comments,but this had by far the most polite and attentive service of any Hotel I have stayed at so far.Thank you very much.
