Hidden Inn with Open-Air Baths in Every Room - Hana no Kumo

I stayed here solo just before the Obon holidays. The detached Room was very spacious, and I really enjoyed the Onsen a lot!I didn’t use the stairs connecting the scenic-view bath to the open-air bath because they felt a bit unstable, and it was scary being able to see below.Dinner had many dishes, and I ate until I was full. It was delicious, so I finished everything.The breakfast basket was adorable. I ate a lot as well—thank you for the wonderful meal.I was very satisfied because I could stay for just over 40,000 yen as a solo traveler!I always brew and drink rooibos tea, so having a Daiohs water dispenser was really appreciated!For future improvement: as others have mentioned, it would be great if the glass windows in the scenic-view bath were kept cleaner so you can enjoy the view more.Also, the door leading from the scenic-view bath out to the wood deck seemed to fit quite poorly.If staying at full price, I feel maintenance should be improved a bit more.It’s a small thing, but having some local drinks in the refrigerator would add a special touch, so it might be worth considering.That said, despite all my comments, I’d definitely like to visit again. Thank you!

It was a Room created by relocating an old traditional house, villa-style. Many parts are worn with age, but somehow it felt nostalgic and wonderfully comfortable. It was also great that we could spend the whole time without stepping outside the Room at all (it poured with rain that day). The meals were gently seasoned, easy on the stomach, melt-in-your-mouth delicious. There was underfloor heating in both the living room and the changing room, and even though the sofa is old, it was very comfortable to sit on. It’s an Accommodation that makes you want to come back.That said, I think the following points could be improved: 1. Dinner portions were small overall. I wanted a second serving of rice (scallop takikomi gohan). 2. The indoor bath is too deep. It would be nice to have a step inside. There is no handrail either, which may make it difficult for some guests. 3. The stairs between the indoor bath and the open-air bath: since it was raining, they were very slippery. Please add anti-slip measures. 4. If the living room were a bit brighter, it would be easier to read there as well.
