I have been staying at this hotel every June before the summer vacation for almost 10 years, but this year (2023) I booked a two-night, three-day stay with check-in on Friday and check-out on Sunday, and stayed in a double room at the Oriental Garden Hall. Normally, it is the beginning of the rainy season, so Nasu Highlands has many cloudy and rainy days, with temperatures of 20°C during the day and around 15°C in the early morning, but this time, the weather was good for all three days and the temperature around the hotel was 29°C, as high as midsummer. I finally checked in around 5:30 p.m. in the evening to match the time of the local bus from JR Kuroiso Station. At this time, the check-in procedure was completed smoothly without having to line up at the front desk, and the first day's dinner was a buffet at the Chinese restaurant "Banri" on the first floor of the Oriental Garden, and the second day's dinner was a buffet at the Italian restaurant "Mori no Table" on the second floor of the adjacent "Forest Villa Hall". Also, if you ask for no cleaning on the second day when you check in, you will receive a 1,000 yen coupon that can be used at the hotel's shops (in this case, only towels will be replaced on the second day, and mineral water will not be replenished). The breakfast was buffet-style at the Oriental Garden "Banri" both times, just like the overnight stay. Check-out on Sundays is early, at 10:00, so we moved to the main building, a little further away, and had the front desk leave our luggage until the evening. The purpose of this 2-night, 3-day trip was to go to "Nasu Animal Kingdom" on Saturday and "Nasu Ropeway" on Sunday, so after checking in, we purchased discount tickets for each at the shop in the main building, as well as a 1-day bus pass valid for 2 days (we used the 1,000 yen coupon we received at check-in). As we have used this hotel many times, we were always satisfied with the hot springs, meals, and the attentive service of the hotel staff. We were also blessed with good weather, making this the best Nasu trip we have ever had.
