Tensui Saryo

I stayed in the Moon Room on a solo trip.Due to various circumstances, I made a Reservation after 5:00 PM on the day of arrival, and with the same-day discount it was a great deal.Since my expected arrival time was set for 10:00 PM, the Accommodation contacted me, and their warm and kind response raised my expectations.I arrived just before the welcome drink service ended.Soaking in the iconic footbath, I enjoyed sparkling wine poured generously.The Room was more than spacious enough for one person, and although I initially thought the Onsen on the terrace might be small from the photos, it was also plenty for one.It’s a circulated bath from Kiga Onsen, but for someone like me who prefers hotter water, it was just right—and it warmed me up so much that I started sweating.The door from the Room to the terrace is accordion-style, so after daybreak I left it fully open all morning—it felt wonderful.The open-air bath at the large public bath uses free-flowing spring water from Owakudani.As someone who likes Kusatsu and Manza, I felt the sulfur scent was mild, but I still really enjoyed the milky-white water.However, it was unpleasant to have long hairs and fallen leaves cling to my body.In addition to the powder corner in the large public bath area, there is also a separate powder room with a ReFa hair dryer, a Panasonic hair iron, and a Panasonic facial steamer. Since I had been considering buying them anyway, it was great to be able to try them out.(For reference, the hair dryers in the large public bath were Dyson.)There were many negative Reviews online so I felt nervous until actually staying here, but it turned out to be a very satisfying stay.I’m also interested in one of their higher-category detached Rooms (annex), so I’d love to visit again.

This was my first trip to Hakone.My main purpose was the Onsen. I’ve gotten into staying at Hotels in various hot spring areas during summer vacation, Golden Week, and other holidays.In conclusion, it was “very good, and I’d like to stay again.”Also, if you plan to use this Hotel,I recommend the annex with a private footbath.It’s rare to have a chance to enjoy a footbath in a private space, but here you can use it without worrying about others’ eyes, which is great.The water also felt wonderful and was highly satisfying.The bed was a Simmons bed. I asked my wife and she said it was very comfortable and she slept soundly. Buying a Simmons mattress has become one of my goals for this year.The meals were also easy to enjoy and delicious,with nothing to complain about.If I had to mention anything: seating for the welcome service (restaurant?) from 2:00 PM was quite limited, so I’d like them to increase the number of seats. Since we used the baths multiple times, I would have liked one extra spare bath towel (+1) in the Room. There wasn’t an outlet at the vanity sink, which felt inconvenient for women when using a hair iron.As an aside, there was a coffee grinder in the Room so we could hand-grind beans. It was my first time grinding them myself; it was difficult but still a fun experience.
