When I made the reservation, I saw few photos of the room introduction, which made me a little uneasy, but I wanted to stay in a traditional hotel with tatami mats, so I booked this hotel. The room is large and every detail is clean. The toilet and bath are two separate rooms, as well as an entrance hall and a balcony. You can reserve a private hot spring for an additional fee, or you can use the public hot spring on the 4th floor. The hotel is located halfway up the mountain. It's quite quiet. There are very few people. All the hotel guests are Japanese. There are 4 rooms in total.
It has its own dedicated entrance and exit to Gora Park next to it, so the stay is very comfortable. Overall, I highly recommend it, but I don’t know if the language barrier will cause trouble to the boss.
The owners are an old but strong couple. It seems that they built the hotel and have been running it? They don't know Chinese or English (a few commonly used words), but they thoughtfully prepared instructions in Chinese to make it easier for guests to understand breakfast, hot spring times, etc. It's a pity that there is no milk or coke in the vending machine in the hot spring. Breakfast is only available at 8 o'clock (not a time period), because it is a set meal prepared according to the number of guests. I think if you don't need it, remember to tell the boss in advance and don't waste it. Very hearty. Our child is 3 years old and there are no other charges.
Finally, let me talk about three points: 1. If you use Ctrip’s positioning to navigate directly, you will go to the wrong place (maybe because that large area has this house number?). In fact, after transferring to the mountain cable car in Gora, you can get off at the park on the left side of the station. When you get off the steps of the station, turn left at the first intersection you see (there is a small coffee + supermarket shop when you come out of the station), and go down the hill. The third house on the right hand side. 2. The hotel only accepts cash. Remember to prepare cash for room payment at the front desk. 3. The deposit refund is very slow. I haven’t received the deposit refund for a week. Ctrip shows that it will take 40 days.
