Isawa View Hotel

Small, cold, the toilet is small and narrow, the toilet is not smart (the only non-smart toilet in Japan in 14 days), the front desk does not speak English, and does not arrange meals.

The room had a Showa-era feel to it, and the wallpaper was peeling in some places, so it was a little scary. However, the toilet seat was prepared for the cold toilet seat, and the staff were kind and polite, making it feel like home. The quality of the hot water leaves your skin smooth, and the shampoo conditioner provided is also made with horse oil, making it moist and smooth.

Although the hotel is a bit old, it is still relatively clean.

Emergency booked hotel, B&B feel, average

建物は築古ですが、部屋も広くこの価格なら納得です。徒歩圏内に、コンビニ・飲食店・ラーメン屋・居酒屋等々揃っていて立地は良いです。

Although I arrived a little early, I was able to check in and get into my room. The room was a 15-tatami Japanese-style room, and the futon was already laid out. There was a sunken kotatsu, and the room was spacious. The sixth-floor room had a nice view of the mountains. The bathroom was fully equipped with lotions and other amenities. The women's bath was a rock bath, the indoor bath was a little hot, and the open-air bath was a little warm from the source. From the open-air bath and indoor bath, you can see the giant rocks and the green garden, which is a nice bath. Amenities were available in the washroom area. We had dinner in the large restaurant. There was a good selection of dishes for dinner, and almost everything was set. We ordered a BYO (1,000 yen corkage fee) wine from Yamanashi Prefecture at Isawa Onsen. The staff at the restaurant were non-Japanese, but they were polite and kind. The breakfast was a Japanese meal with a variety of dishes. The Hoto miso soup was a little salty. The senior plan included check-in at 2 p.m. and a beer after the bath. I had a relaxing stay, soaking in the hot springs.

The food and other service is not very good, probably due to cost cutting. At dinner, cold and tough meat dishes came first, ignoring the order, appetizers came later, and the sashimi and crab were dry. It also seems as if they think that service means serving the food quickly and clearing it away. However, the delicious dishes are delicious, so it's hard to say anything. The large public bath is spacious and not bad, and although some of the facilities are old-fashioned, they are generally clean. It depends on the price, but it's not a bad place. However, you can't get your expectations too high. That's the kind of place it is.

This time, we had an early check-in (2pm) and a plan that included beer after bathing. The futon is already laid out, but the room is 15 tatami mats, so it's spacious. There is a sunken kotatsu with a kotatsu futon over it, but I thought it would be better to use it instead of a chair and table without the futon. Perhaps because I took the bath immediately, there was no one else around, so I was lucky to have both the magnificent rock bath and the open-air bath to myself. The open-air bath is fed directly from the source, and the water is lukewarm at 36 to 37 degrees, which is very comfortable for me as I like lukewarm baths. The indoor bath is hot and has a rock bath. I always wonder how the huge rocks in the bath and garden were transported. It's so huge. This time, I thought it was probably the drain in the washing room, but I was concerned about the smell. When I asked Tsureai later, she said that the men's bath didn't have any particular smell. Other than that, it's a good hot spring rock bath, the changing area is clean, and amenities such as lotion are provided. This bath does not have a gender-separated system, but the open-air bath in the men's bath is large, so I hope that someday it will be a gender-separated system. We had dinner at the restaurant. "Gourmet Kai Seki" is a multi-course meal. There was a cute horsetail horsetail on it, and it had spring content such as firefly squid and bamboo shoots. Almost everything is set on the table, and some items will come later. It's piping hot because it's prepared according to the time the customers arrive. Also, they lend me a chukkaman, so I can light the fire at my own timing, but they keep an eye on me when it comes to hot lids, and I keep asking them to take the lid off later. He will call you. I think the quantity and quality of the kaiseki cuisine is high. What particularly impressed me this time was the Western-style spare ribs, which were quite large and filling. Also, the tuna sashimi was delicious, as Yamanashi Prefecture is the number one consumer of tuna sashimi (other sashimi include leaf scallops and Yamanashi salmon). Also, when the sakura shrimp kamameshi is cooked, it becomes a slightly darker cherry color, and the shrimp has a nice aroma. At the restaurant, there are staff members who are attentive and attentive. I also thought that the elderly waitress was very attentive and kind when talking to customers. Thanks to you, we had a fun and delicious dinner time with local wine from Fuefuki City, Yamanashi (1,000 yen corkage fee). Breakfast is also at the same venue. This ryokan is the only inn in the View Hotel group that offers Japanese breakfast instead of hiking. Juice, milk, and coffee are available in buffet style. In the morning, we had delicious tuna sashimi (butsu), Yamanashi's specialty Hoto instead of miso soup, fukimiso and handmade tamagoyaki. The coffee was piping hot, and we both had second cups. The best thing is the cheerful greetings and refills from the staff in the morning. The a**osphere of the restaurant is bright. This is an inn that you would want to use again in different seasons.
