Shikishima Jozankei Bettei

The location is not the best, but the service is very good and the food is quite special. The environment is quiet and you can appreciate nature up close. You need to book a vehicle or ticket in advance. It is recommended to drive.

I was very nervous when I made the reservation. I looked for reviews on several platforms for the hotel, but there were almost no reviews on the entire web. However, I didn't want to go to those large hotels that receive tour groups, so I decided to give it a try. The hotel is a very, very local hot spring hotel. There is a man and a woman who are both older cleaning the hotel. There is also a front desk and restaurant manager. There are 10 rooms in the whole hotel, and 4 people serve. Except for the restaurant, all other areas are self-service. The hotel is very secluded and close to the river. The nearest bus stop to the hotel is Jozankei Bridge, about 500 meters away on foot. The rooms are clean, tidy and comfortable, but the facilities are a little old. There is an air outlet above the bed with a large air volume, and there is no place to close it. The hot spring is small and exquisite, and the men's and women's baths will be switched, so that you can experience the hot springs on both sides on the day of check-in and the next day. The biggest feature of the hotel is the food. Just look at the pictures. It is a leisure hotel that is very worth experiencing and staying in again.
