Isawa Tokiwa Hotel

I was able to stay at a reasonable price even though it was December 29th. I learned that this hotel has a history of nearly 100 years and is called "Kofu's Guest House" and is chosen as the venue for shogi title matches. The hospitality of all the staff was very impressive. The service of carrying luggage to the room is not seen very often these days, so I am impressed that this is a hotel that represents a long-established Isawa. The room is normal, but there is a coffee machine, which is a nice service. For dinner, I was able to enjoy Koshu beef nigiri, shabu-shabu, steamed, and lava-grilled Koshu beef. The seasoning was good and the portions were large. For breakfast, you can choose white rice or Koshu beef bowl. I chose white rice because I wanted to eat a hearty meal in the morning. Most of the people around me had beef bowls. I was looking forward to breakfast because dinner was good, but my expectations were completely betrayed. The hoto was good, but the other side dishes were so poor that I think people who chose white rice will be disappointed. I can't believe that the menu was created by the same chef. Did the beef bowl cost a lot and the cost of that was reflected in the side dishes? It's true that if you choose the beef bowl, the side dishes would be fine. Wouldn't it be better to at least offer the all-you-can-eat dried small sardines served at the dinner venue for breakfast? It was a shame because the rice was delicious. The hot spring water is of good quality and is available almost 24 hours a day. However, the open-air bath is small and can only accommodate 2-4 people, so if you take the time, you can take your time by yourself. There is no mention of circulation, so I'm not sure of the exact details, but I think the open-air bath is a free-flowing bath. The indoor bath also has hot water. The customer service is good, as other people have said in their reviews. I liked the pleasant greeting. It's in front of the illumination venue, so it's a great place to see the cherry blossoms in spring, so I'd like to return in a different season.
