Senjukaku is located at the Jigoku Monkey Park bus stop, just a few hundred meters away in the direction of the Monkey Park. This is an old hot spring hotel, and the Japanese emperor, empress, prince, princess, etc. have stayed here several times. The hotel upholds traditional Japanese service. When checking in, a staff member will take us all the way to the room, while introducing the various rooms and uses of the hotel. After taking us into the room, he will introduce the rooms and uses of the room in detail. The hotel allows you to enjoy tea while watching the snow scenery outside, and the scenery is superb. I won't get tired of sitting here for a whole day. We booked a set meal for one night and two meals. We went to the hot spring before dinner. The outdoor hot spring here is beautiful. Soaking in the warm spring, watching the pine trees under the snow, the mist floating, and the trance of the fairyland-Is it because of this that Senjukaku is called?
After soaking in the hot spring and having dinner, we arrived at the restaurant. The staff immediately led the way. The two of us had a special private room, and a staff member Toshi served us throughout the whole process. The hotel's dinner is Japanese kaiseki cuisine, with wine and tea, a total of ten dishes. After finishing a dish, Toshi would remove it and serve a new dish. The ingredients of the dishes are limited to the season, and the dishes eaten in each season are different. She would help introduce the origin and eating methods of each dish in detail, which was considerate and warm. But she spoke Japanese, and I could only rely on her few English words and gestures to understand how to eat each dish. Each dish was very exquisite, but because there were so many styles, I was still very full in the end! I have been to Japan four times, and this is the first time I have truly experienced Japanese kaiseki cuisine, which is really satisfying!
The hotel has Japanese and Western breakfasts, which can be chosen when checking in, and the time to eat is chosen.
The hotel's service is very meticulous. I made tea twice in the room. They washed and restored the tea set when making the bed, and restored it again when making the bed the next day. And the cleaning was done the next day, and even the flowers were replaced. In addition to the normal facilities in the room, there are nail clippers, sewing kits and other small items that you may use. These details make customers full of warmth. We didn't want to go out when we stayed in the hotel.
If I have the chance, I want to stay there again, so I won’t go anywhere, just stay in the hotel and stare blankly.
