Kawayu Kanko Hotel

Das Familienzimmer ist groß, sauber und gemütlich. Es macht Spaß, mit den Kindern zu schlafen. Aber ich habe immer das Gefühl, dass es im Ostflügelzimmer riecht. Die Temperatur ist nicht konstant und ich kann nicht schlafen. Das Hotel verfügt über eine eigene große Thermalquelle, die sich im Innenbereich befindet. Die Bademäntel sind wunderschön und das Baden ist sehr angenehm. Rund um das Hotel gibt es mehrere köstliche lokale Restaurants. Sie sind recht landestypisch und akzeptieren nur Bargeld, aber die empfohlene Reisschüssel ist köstlich.

My 2-day stay at Kawayu Kanko hotel was very pleasant. While the rooms may look tired, they are spacious and functional (I could do my taiqi exercise in my room!). 3 things I like most about the stay: the staff I interacted with, the onsen and the dinner. Ms Yuka at the front desk spoke perfect English and she gave me the most useful ideas about where to eat and where to go. Thanks to her, I got to learn about the Teshikaga Eco-Passport and got to visit Lake Kussharo (Sunayu area), Lake Mashu and Mt Io by bus, all in one day. Her boss, Mr Nakajima was a very friendly gentleman. Language did not deter him as he patiently gave me a lesson (using his phone translator) about the geographics and the creation of the Kawayu Onsen area. Secondly, the onsen was great. The temperature was just right for me and the mineral refreshed my body instantly. I was told the hot spring water in the hotel came directly from a source that is only a few kilometers away. Lastly, the kaiseki dinner was great. The spread was generous. On a freezing winter day, the 2 personal hotpots greatly filled up and warmed my body. I will definitely return to the hotel.

酒店的温泉應該是泉眼出來第一家，有很多泡日歸的客人，不過這個酒店畢竟建造時間太久了，何處都顯得陳舊，早餐和晚餐也還行，前台兩個老爺爺也很努力的用英語在溝通，整體體驗還不錯
