Experience of the stay
A beautiful and new hotel opened in July 2021.
Check-in is done via a machine.
【Room】
Upon entering the room, there were proper slippers...
There were sandals/slippers at the entrance, but I wondered if it was okay to use them indoors, so I later confirmed at the front desk (laughs).
They said it’s fine to use them both indoors and outdoors (within the hotel).
The familiar non-woven slippers were under the TV stand.
Also, the dryer bag and bath bag were so cute that I took a photo.
I also spotted the bath bags for sale in the shop next to the front desk 👀.
There is a chair and a round table, so doing PC work or eating is not a problem.
Uh... I couldn’t find my favorite baggage rack 🥺.
【Bath】
While there is a proper bathtub in the room, this hotel has separate large bathrooms for men and women as well as private baths… so I paid for the private bath!
(I found out through the hotel's guide on the TV homepage)
I prefer to bathe alone, so I’m not a big fan of public baths, but since I could enjoy it alone, it felt a bit luxurious.
2000 yen for 45 minutes [as of March 2024]: payment at check-out.
I called the front desk to make a reservation.
A few minutes before the reservation time, I went to the front desk to get the key.
The bath floor has a resting area and a water server.
The back is for women, the front is for men, and the middle is for private baths.
(The large bathrooms have a number code to enter, which I received on a paper at check-in).
When I entered the private bath, the door closed automatically, but if I fumbled at the entrance, it would open again (laughs).
If you get too close, it will open again, so I had to manually close it and check that it wasn’t opening before I settled down in the changing room.
I was a bit panicked alone lol.
I was a bit confused by the unfamiliar dryer shape, but I just agreed it might be a space-saving design.
Some skincare products from a certain brand were placed, and of course, shampoo and other essentials are provided, so you can come empty-handed.
When going to the large bathroom, they had told me at check-in to "bring towels from the room," so I brought some when going to the private bath as well, but they were provided here, presumably they prepare enough for the number of reservations.
Additionally, there were drinks in a mini cooling/heating box.
Since it was available for free, I tried it after the bath.
【Access】
It’s a 4-minute walk from JR Takayama Station, passing through the bus terminal along the tracks.
If you go out to the road from the station rotary, there is one traffic light to get to the hotel, but you can go along the tracks without hitting any signals.
Experiences during the trip
【1】
I took out from 'Matsuki Burger' located at the left side of the JR Takayama Station rotary.
There is a terrace seat next to the store, but since the hotel is close, I decided to take it home.
【2】
Dinner at the hotel's restaurant 'Hanaoka Dining and Bar'.
I received a complimentary ticket for a glass of sparkling wine during check-in.
However, they mentioned to order at least one dish, so I decided to have dinner.
(It's also fine to just order a drink)
One note is that there is a charge fee (which is common, so it’s not something to worry about too much).
【3】
I paid for breakfast! It was about 1760 yen.
You need to make a reservation by the day before and choose between Japanese or Western style when booking.
Same restaurant as the day before.
I had a hearty bento box for breakfast.Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
