It was more than our expectation.1 minutes after getting off from the freeway 101, there is a heaven where you can enjoy good food, good service and good,,,, hot spring!!

We didn’t make reservation. Upon we entered the lobby, there was a woman greeted us instantly. I told her we don’t book a room. She asked us to have a seat and consulted what kind of room we are looking for. She was very generous. She clearly explained the differences of all the room and answered every question we had. She really recommended as a room Zany (every room has unique name) since it is the only room renovated and has private bath.

As we were also interested in suite, she kindly offered us to have a look of both of the rooms. Suite was huge room with fire place but the bed is little bit smaller and Zany. So we our consultant has recommended, we took Zany.

The entire of the hotel is surrounded by tree. Total quietness.

I found some lovely flowers.

The pass to our room. There are 5 rooms on the left side. Since there are no street or road on the other side of the lodge, all the rooms are totally private. It is very calm and the air is clear. Every room has hot bath outside, behind the door.

Here comes our room Zany.

My husband preparing water.

In Japan, there are also some Ryokan which has private hot bath outside. But unlike Japanese style, you have to prepare water by yourself here. Which means, you can always enjoy fresh water.

I think there are like and dislike but the smell of sulphur is quite strong. As Japanese, who is from hot spring country, no problem for this.

Not only sulphur but also the power of jaguzzi gives you additional pamper.

I prefer not having a shower after the hot bath because the effect of sulphur should stay on your skin. But of course, in order to wash your hair, here is a shower room inside. The floor is made by stone.

Convenient two sinks.

and perfectly suitable amenities. They are all using natural herb which is perfect after mineral hot spring. At least, I prefer avoiding artificial fregrance after hot spring.

After enjoying a bath, we went restaurant at the lobby which turned out to be another great experience. Details will be found in “yucocktail’s all about food“.

back to room, and take another bath. Beautiful dream is guaranteed.

We were lucky to have a room since it was Monday. But during weekend, you really have to make reservation. Sometime they even has minimum stay restriction.

If you want to experience this luxurious stay, check the availability first and be prepared!
