HOTEL MODA

I visited with my wife. From the moment we stepped into the Accommodation, we felt it was a place to relax and unwind. We thoroughly enjoyed the free-flow drinks from 3:00 PM (a truly welcome system for those who enjoy alcohol—I even ended up drinking a bit too much). While there are shared spaces, the focus is on spending time in your private Room. Rather than a detached building typical of an Onsen Ryokan, it may be best to picture a cottage with a simple open-air bath. Instead of rushing through check-in and check-out for sightseeing, I recommend checking in early and taking your time to enjoy the bath and relax in your Room.

I booked that morning because I’d been curious and avoided the Silver Week period. I received a text message so I could complete the pre-check-in process via QR code, which also made it easy to ask questions.I heard there is a shuttle service, but I drove my own car. I got a little confused finding the parking entrance partway up the mountain, and since there’s no ramp—only stairs up to the front desk—I was glad I wore comfortable shoes.　After arrival, there was a welcome drink service. Since I don’t drink alcohol, I enjoyed soft drinks—iced coffee and roasted brown rice tea—which were delicious. I also had mixed nuts, dried banana, and biscuits with marshmallows, and relaxed in my favorite Y Chair.Because my husband likes watching TV, we chose a room that was easier to watch from the bed rather than focusing on the view.The shower booth had a rain shower as well. The bath was at a very comfortable temperature, and we could relax and enjoy it. There was also a mini kitchen with drinking water available, which made it easy to boil water and control the temperature; the coffee was excellent.The layout and interior design were exactly my taste and gave me ideas for my own home.　The bed was spacious, and I slept soundly until morning.Check-out is at 10:00 am, but since we didn’t have meals included, we checked out early.　Thank you for all your help—we’d love to stay again. Sorry to mention this under facilities/equipment: the approach felt a bit difficult to walk on.Other than that, it’s compactly designed with easy access between the room and lounge area—comfortable like having your own vacation home.
