Kawazu Hotels with Pools

The hotel is nice, all rooms have sea views, the facilities are a little old, but they are fine, the hygiene is also very good, the breakfast is satisfactory, basically everything is available, the private beach is very quiet, there is a shuttle bus to Hejin Station, Figure 6 is the timetable, the hot spring is not big, there are more people on weekends, it is far from a dedicated hot spring hotel

Three months before departure, I had made a reservation to stay at this Rikka Ishidaya hotel during the Kawazu Sakura Festival❤️ It only takes 15 minutes to walk from Kawazu Station to the hot spring hotel. On the way, you will pass Shuzuji Temple, where you can buy cherry blossom seals. When you arrive at the hot spring hotel, you must first register, and then the staff will introduce you to the room. The room is very large, and faces a large Kawazu cherry tree. The back garden is shared by every guest (so remember to lock all doors when sleeping), but check-in There were no other guests in the garden that day, so I had the entire garden to myself. There are also many sunflowers and different plants planted in the garden. There are indoor and outdoor hot springs in the room. You can also see cherry blossom trees outdoors. You can enjoy the cherry blossoms while soaking in the hot springs. It is very relaxing 😍 (You can also buy eggs at the reception desk and then go back. Room in hot spring hot spring egg) Breakfast and dinner can be eaten in the room or in the restaurant when checking in. We chose to eat in our own room, and we were super shocked when the dinner was delivered🤩The sashimi was very fresh❤️You can also grind the raw sunflower by yourself, it tastes very fragrant. The whole dinner was very rich and filling. After eating, you can put it in the small hall when you enter the house, and the staff will clean it up. If you need to eat breakfast in the room the next day, you have to go to the restaurant to take it to the room by yourself😊 The overall experience is very satisfying and the staff is super friendly. In addition, the exclusive large back garden, the cherry blossom trees outside the room, dinner, private hot spring, etc. are worth the price. However, the disadvantage is that the WiFi is poor and you need to use your own data to access the Internet normally. In addition, there are fish ponds outside some rooms in this hotel, and feed will be provided for the residents to feed the fish, so you can first look at the several room types on the official website before choosing a suitable room.

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.
