Very nice stay at Shusuien. The meals are excellent. Onsen is comfortable. I went to Onsen twice and there was no one else. The hotel facility is a bit old, as it is a hotel with history. But it is very traditional and you get to experience the culture.

가격대비 오래된 호텔, 음식은 인상적이 않음

호텔이 오래되었고, 처음 배정받은 다다미방에서는 담배냄새가 많이 났습니다. 그래서 교체요청을 했습니다. 블로그에 나와 있는 것처럼 음식도 그다지 인상적이 못하였습니다. 전반적으로 몰락하는 온천마을의 느낌을 받았습니다.

生憎の雨でしたが駐車場に着くと直ぐに傘を持ってお出迎え。ウェルカムドリンクはアルコールあり。静かでゆったりと過ごせる空気感、チェックインから期待がたかまりました。食事も良かったけど、担当のスタッフの心配りが何より最高でした。私が左利きな事に気づいて食器の置き場所をさっとかえたり、買いたいお茶の情報をメモして帰りに手渡してくれたり。上辺だけで無いおもてなしに感動です。

風情のある素敵な旅館でした。食事もおいしく満足です。ちゃんと個室に案内していただき、懐石料理のお食事です。夜も朝も食べきれないくらいのボリュームでした。 お部屋は純和風の畳のお部屋で、夕食の間にお布団を敷いていただき布団で休みました。夕食後にはぜんざいの差し入れもありました。 温泉は大浴場と、貸切風呂が2つあります。貸切は1時間3500円と最初は「別料金なのね」と思いましたが、中に入るとテーブルとソファがあり、トイレ洗面所つき、、冷蔵庫にはミネラルウォーターもありとお値段に見合ったサービスがあったので、結果的には高くはなかったと思います。 こちらには砂風呂はありませんが「砂楽」までは歩いて3分程度なので、ホテルからタオルを借りて浴衣で行けますので、特に問題ないかなと思います。 従業員の方は外国の方もいて多様性を感じました。
