This was my first stay since the renovation.
With “Smart Stay,” you can enjoy a variety of services:
- Pre check-in (10-second check-in)

- In-Room payment

These thoughtful touches made it easy to relax throughout the stay.
After entering the lobby, completing check-in, and leaving my luggage in the Room, I headed straight to the Onsen.
Before that, I enjoyed a welcome drink.
The tea- and fresh cream-based cocktails were smooth yet still had a distinct tea flavor—truly delicious.
With an alkaline pH of 9.6, it’s said to be among the top five in Japan. After soaking once or twice, my skin started to feel silky smooth, as if I’d applied toner. I ended up soaking three times, including a morning bath. Since you may not notice the quality of the spring after just one soak, I recommend going in several times.
Next to the bar area, there was also a coffee machine available 24 hours a day. I enjoyed it along with the cold tea provided in the in-room refrigerator.
What I love most about this Hotel is the open-air bath where you can soak while listening to the river’s gentle flow.
Surrounded by soothing seasonal scenery, I took my time and truly enjoyed the Onsen.
It’s a Hotel I’d love to visit again.
After check-out, I also enjoyed “Kingdom Onsen” stamp rally. Walking around the hot spring town and stopping for footbaths along the way was great fun.
