onsen bliss near bamboo forest

convenient location peaceful atmosphere

the hotel is very close to many attractions and shopping areas. i found the location very convenient since it is across from one station and within walking distance of another. the onsen experience was good and the facilities provided a peaceful atmosphere within the city.

i noticed the reception staff was not helpful when the bar was closed. they did not offer any alternatives for getting drinks. this made it difficult to relax and unwind after a long day.

The hotel's proximity to the train station was perfect. It made getting around so easy. i also enjoyed the private onsen, it was like such a treat after a long day.

The room did feel somewhat outdated. the city tax at checkout came as a surprise.
