Pension Kinrinko Toyonokuni

If you failed to make a reservation at the ryokan you wanted, this is a great place to stay for a reasonable price. Advantages: 1. Relatively cheaper price than ryokan. Except for a few cost-effective accommodations, prices like this are rare. 2. There is a restaurant in the same building. 3. Kinrin Lake is right in front of the building, so you can see the lake right from your room. Also, I think the biggest advantage is that you can see it without having to go outside on days when there is fog. disadvantage: 1. It’s far from the station. If you have heavy luggage, I recommend taking a taxi. 2. Ironically, Kinlin Lake is right in front. Saying that Kinrin Lake is right in front of you means that there are tourists right in front of you. Not only rooms, but also public baths and even open-air baths can be accessed from outside. Rooms have curtains and public baths have opaque windows, but the open-air baths are finished by a wall that is lower than the height, so if you use the open-air baths during the day or when the sun is up, you need to have the courage to make naked eye contact with tourists. Please note that the side with an open-air bath has a women's bath on the day of check-in and a men's bath on the day of check-out. 3. Amenities are far away. In fact, normally it wouldn't be that far, just 10 minutes away, but the tourist attraction + countryside played a part. It was very dark with only sp**** street lights, so using the flashlight function on your phone was essential. Although I wrote about the shortcomings at length, I am overall satisfied with the accommodation!

very good experience

The staff's service is very nice. Because there are bird droppings on the car windows, there is a cleaning area. When making a reservation, I did not order a meal because I could not confirm the arrival time. In fact, you can just tell the staff directly when the time comes. Although it is a shared bathhouse, the hotel itself does not have many rooms, so you can have time to bathe alone. Maybe it's because it's close to a lake and a mountain, so there are more mosquitoes outdoors. I could see Jinlin Lake in the morning, but I couldn't seem to find any staff before 6 o'clock, and the door couldn't be opened, so I couldn't leave the hotel to take pictures at the lake.

This is the first time I stayed in a tatami room in Japan. The room is quite big. The Kinrin Lake is very beautiful when you open the window. There is a shrine within a 1-minute walk next to it! The location is excellent, there are also hot springs to soak in, the service staff is very kind, and free coffee and tea are available in the lobby

A pension near the lake. The view from the room is wonderful. (Especially the fantastic view of steam rising from the shore of the lake in the early morning is worth seeing.) It calls itself a pension, but the operation itself feels like a hotel. I was very grateful for the consideration and thoughtfulness of the staff. (When I arrived before check-in, I was allowed to park my car, etc.) There are 2 hot springs. One has only an indoor bath, and the other has an indoor bath and an open-air bath. Men and women change over time. It seems to be free-flowing in principle, but the temperature of the water is just right, so I don't feel the need to dilute it with water. The building seems to be made of wood (or steel frame), so the sounds of life and conversations in the neighboring rooms and corridors can be heard. However, there weren't many rooms = not many guests, so it wasn't noisy. For dinner, I used the attached restaurant, but the Bungo beef hamburger was very delicious, including the demi sauce. (Advance reservations are required if you wish to have a course meal.) It feels like a 5-minute walk to Yunotsubo Kaido, but after 4:00 p.m., many shops are closing and the crowds of day trip tourists disappear, so be careful. (When the sun goes down, the street lights are sp**** and it gets really dark.) The only difficulty is that the road in front of the pension is narrow, and even small cars need to be careful when passing each other. It's not a road where you can easily make a U-turn, so if you're not confident in driving, we recommend arriving after 4:00 pm, when the number of day-trippers decreases, as mentioned above.
