The bath is good.
This was my first time using this property, although I often use Kodenmacho. Thank you for providing a double room as there was availability. The room did not have a bathtub, but since I was there for the large public bath, it was not an issue.
I use other hotels as well, but I think the large public bath and open-air bath here are top-notch. Overall, it is hygienic, has a sauna and cold bath, plays healing music, has an open-air bath, is an actual onsen, has easy-to-use shower locations, features ReFa shower heads, is spacious enough for the number of users, and the water temperature is to my liking, among other things. The sauna is about 105 degrees, but it is very good as a set with a TV monitor, a cold bath, and chairs. The shower location is especially comfortable because, unlike other hotels where you have to press the button repeatedly as it stops after a few seconds, it is rotary and does not stop until you turn it back. The head is ReFa, and you can choose mist or other preferences. The position to hang the shower is good, etc. I used the open-air bath at night and in the morning, and it was so comfortable that it didn't feel like a business hotel. You can see the starry sky and be soothed by the steam, light, and faint healing music. The water is a pleasant onsen without any peculiarities. Some hotels are silent, which can feel lonely when alone, but the healing music and the constant sound of additional water are very good. There are many foreign guests, but few in the large public bath, which is also nice. It was definitely better than going to a spa facility.
The breakfast was not flashy, but there was a sufficient variety and a spacious area to enjoy it calmly. I was surprised to find freshly fried tempura, which was delicious, and I ended up having seconds. It was the day of the Nanakusa-gayu, so I enjoyed it according to the event. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until I was leaving, but there was soba? I didn't see it when taking tempura as there was nothing in the space next to it, but I could see a picture of soba from my seat and wished I had tried it.
A notable feature or concern here might be the large intersection and station, as I could frequently hear the noise both in the room and the open-air bath. I would like to use it again.
