Nakamatsuya Ryokan

Nakamatsuya is next to Shimoda. It takes 27 minutes to reach Bessho Onsen on the Bessho Line. Shimoda is a Shinkansen station. The Bessho Line runs about every half an hour. There is a free tour bus from the hotel on Saturdays and Sundays. It takes ten minutes to reach the hotel. If you don't walk uphill towards Guanyin in the north for ten minutes, or call the hotel and say they are at the station and they will drive to pick you up in five minutes. Bessho Onsen is more popular than many declining hot spring towns. There are many hot spring hotels doing good business. Among them, Hanaya Daishofu is the most popular. Tamaya is a new Japanese and Western style. Because the price on Saturday is expensive and the single person, one night and two meals are less, I blindly chose Matsuya, which is also a hotel with a long history. The lobby has the atmosphere of a family hotel. The Japanese room I booked should have been partially renovated. There is no unpleasant smell of tatami mats. There is a view outside the window that can see the town and mountains. Some cheap rooms have no view at all. There are also Japanese and Western style luxury rooms. The town is worth walking outside. There are quiet temples. The town is quiet and beautiful. There are flowers blooming everywhere in June, especially peonies. The restaurant only has matsutake mushrooms from September to November, and the restaurant has grilled wagyu in June, which is very good. The breakfast is a bit simple, a Japanese set meal, and it is served at 8 o'clock at the latest. The hot spring on the top floor is very good. There are flower arrangements everywhere in the hotel, and they are carefully maintained. There are Chinese staff, and the service is warm and friendly. The disadvantage is that the curtains are useless. The roller curtains do not block the light. I was woken up very early and slept very badly. Is it strange that the Japanese sleep so well? Light affects the secretion of melatonin. Why don't they care whether the curtains block the light? It is a common problem in Japanese hotels. The kettle heats up in one or two hours. It is best to unplug it when sleeping. The tatami is a bit sticky when barefoot, and it should be wiped more carefully. There will be a little odor in the bathroom. Overall, it is a well-run hot spring hotel. If the price is right, it is recommended to stay.
