Blue Ridge Hotel

A quiet hotel in the forest It feels old, but the rooms are spacious and I really like the country feel. The hot spring is good, and the open-air bath where you can enjoy the starry sky is also nice. However, the only way to go down from the second floor to the first floor is by stairs, which are quite steep, so it may not be convenient for the elderly. The food is buffet style for both dinner and breakfast, and the staff are very friendly and the food tastes good, but unfortunately the variety is limited. I was happy that there were rice balls at breakfast, but the fillings were too elaborate, which was a shame. I would have preferred kelp or pickled plums. Most of the food is placed on a table in the center, so it is inevitably crowded. I wish they had put a little more thought into the placement. As the concept of "go do nothing" suggests, you can relax away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The stars in the night sky are particularly noteworthy! You can't see many stars in Kobe city, but you can see them well from the hotel. When I stayed there last fall, I was impressed that I could see the Big Dipper clearly. However, this time it was a bit cloudy so I couldn't see many stars, which was disappointing.

Family friendly. Facilities are dated. The hot spring is open until 24:00. The dinner buffet had a lot of variety and was delicious. Roast beef is recommended.
