Takedao Onsen Koyokan Bettei Azalee

Very clean! Very warm! The proprietress also personally introduced us to the story of the hotel and her own art paintings made of local plants and flowers!

I stayed with five friends. We had botanical hotpot for dinner, but within 30 minutes of the meal, udon noodles came out. Even though we ordered a lot of alcohol, rice came out quickly. They kept urging us to finish the meal as soon as possible. Furthermore, there was a woman who was leaving alone at night, and when she passed in front of the front desk around 10pm and tried to go outside, a man who seemed to be a male employee yelled at her, "Who are you! What are you doing?!" I showed him my key and said, "I'm a guest," and he went to the back of the front desk without saying anything. The next morning, when I told another employee about it, he told me that I was the owner based on my appearance. I have no idea why he yelled at me or why he was angry. There was no apology. This is a place I definitely cannot recommend.

This inn is a villa type with an open-air bath in each room. Breakfast and dinner are served in the dining room, but each room is private, so you will rarely meet other guests. I saw alcohol disinfectant in two places, the lobby and the corridor, but not in the room. I stayed in the "Sun Terrace" room. The room was like Nakazawa Village in Kusatsu, and there was a Japanese-style room that was one step higher than the living room where two headsets were lined up. When staying with four people, futons are lined up there. The building felt new, but the furniture was cheap overall and the TV felt small. The beer and juice in the refrigerator are free, but there are no sweets or snacks. I didn't see any supermarkets or convenience stores in the neighborhood, so I recommend purchasing them in advance if you need them. The bath in the room is large, deep, and spacious, and is a pure, low-radioactivity hot spring. It takes 20 to 30 minutes to fill the water, but it warms up well so you can sleep well. The room is warm with floor heating. For dinner, I chose peony hotpot. The peony hotpot was delicious, but the other dishes seemed simple. Overall, it has what you need, but nothing more. Dinner is supposed to finish by 9:00, but all the booths seemed to finish eating by 7:30. Overall, the service seemed inferior for the price, but all the rooms are on the first floor, so it's very comfortable to be able to see the trees from the bath and the birds singing from the large windows in the living room. I saw quite a lot of birds.
