Hotels with Breakfast in Kawazu

Facilities: There were only two air coolers and two electric fans. If you're sensitive to heat, it might feel a bit warm in the summer. My friend found it just right, but I thought it was a little warm before falling asleep at night. However, it's designed to be a traditional Japanese folk house, so there are fewer appliances. There's a hairdryer, Wi-Fi, and a TV, but no washing machine or refrigerator. They provided a bucket of ice water in the room, which was a nice touch. Cleanliness: Super, super, super clean. The tatami mats were even covered with disposable sheets. Although there's a lot of vegetation outside, there were no mosquitoes inside. They had mugwort incense and electric mosquito repellents, but no strange smells in the room. Environment: The biggest and most anticipated highlight was the hot spring. There are indeed outdoor and indoor private hot springs, but I absolutely dared not go out at night. Because it was dark outside and bright inside, it attracted many moths. On the first night, moths kept banging against the window, so the door to the outdoor private hot spring remained closed. The bathroom private hot spring also had flowing water, but there were small flying insects when showering at night. Plus, there was no elevated spot to hang the showerhead. Service: The housekeeper grandma provided excellent service. She showed us around and introduced the entire room. There's also a free breakfast service, and they'll ask if you need it upon check-in. Finally, they charged a tax upon check-out.

This is a bit worn out and simple hotel. The best things were the extremely friendly and helpful staff, as well as the super delicious dinner & breakfast that was included in the price. I ate maybe the most delicious croissant ever here. The variety and the quality of food was great. Things to improve are  the facilities, especially the onsen. It’s very small but more importantly, it wasn’t well maintained and there was no emergency button. When my mom felt like fainting, it wasn’t possible to call for help.  Also the air conditioner in the room was very loud, making it difficult to sleep. All in all, good stay.
