Kur and Hotel Shinshu

This was my first time staying here.Baths: There were many types of tubs and saunas.Meals: We ate in the large hall; there was a wide menu selection, service was quick, and everything was delicious.Room: It was a clean Hotel. The air conditioning is centrally controlled, so you can’t fine-tune the temperature—something to note if that bothers you.Staff: Everyone was courteous and helpful.If I had to be picky…1) Ordering meals in the large hall can feel a bit inconvenient for some people. A smartphone and LINE are required. After selecting one item, the screen returns to the home page, so you have to choose again from the categories. It could be tough with a larger group.2) The lockers for overnight guests in the bath area are quite small, and their location is tucked away, which made them inconvenient to use.I really liked how relaxed it felt as a Hotel attached to a health spa—easygoing without being too formal. I’d love to visit again.

This is our second year staying here.We visit every year around this time.The baths are excellent, the staff are very courteous, and the food is delicious.Our favorite is the Chinese restaurant on the second floor—the fried rice is especially good.We’ll likely be back again next year.
