Hiranoya

The baths were gorgeous and the first day was pretty great but for some reason their buffet claimed to be worth $66 per person for a small selection. No matter how much you eat it isn't worth the price. Their English booklet was out of date and mentioned a ramen bar that we waited around for, for dinner. When I asked them about it they acted like I was making it up but showing them the book they said they hadn't had that in a while. It was supposed to start at 8 so most restaurants were closed by the time we found out it wasn't there and they just told us to walk to the convenience store. Wouldn't even call us a taxi when we asked them too. It's great if you want to have the traditional Japanese experience but we felt unwanted.

Reservation for the hotel's proud private sauna, I think it was ¥10,000 for 60 minutes use. (Prices and times may vary from Reservation) A female staff member explained the use of a reserved sauna, but it was not a very polite explanation, perhaps because they were a couple, so I felt some anxiety. I thought this was how couples were treated. 'The water bath is not temperature controlled, so please adjust it yourself.' There was also a cooler box with an ice maker in the sink in the sauna. When I entered the sauna, the water bath was unexpectedly lukewarm! condition. Even though the temperature is not controlled, there are limits to the number of water baths. Even if you put ice in the cooler box in the same sauna, the water bath doesn't get cold. I walked naked from one end of the room to the other with a shovel full of ice. Thanks to this, whether you put ice in the cooler box or not, the water bath remains lukewarm even if you use up all the ice. Seriously, I spent nearly half of my time in a private sauna controlling the temperature of the water bath, which was far from perfect. Reservations are made in advance and you know the time, If you want to recommend a private sauna to Sauner so far, At least have the water bath temperature ready for the cold. Not at all, but it was far from being tidy. The currants used to fill water in the bath were probably also well designed, but they were very inconvenient.

I was planning to take my one-year-old child, but when I inquired with the hotel, they replied, "We ask that you please understand that we do not allow one-year-old children to bathe in the hot springs if they are normally wearing diapers. We also ask that you refrain from bringing baby baths into the large public bath or using the washing area. We are sorry to ask that infants use the bath in their guest room. However, please note that the bath in the guest room is not a hot spring. As for the answer about non-smoking rooms, we do not have any non-smoking rooms. We will provide you with deodorizing measures. Please understand that it is difficult to completely deodorize the rooms. " It is rare to have all rooms smoking these days, and it is not even possible for babies to use the washing area in the large public bath. I thought it was a very cold inn, so I canceled. People with babies should be careful.
