Hana no Yu Route Inn Grantia Tokai

I've been to about 20 places in Aichi and Shizuoka that are open late at night. From southern Nagoya to Mikawa, there were no places where I could relax because of the loud noises and yelling of young men, but this is the best place. Honestly, the number of baths is small and the space is small, so it's not worth the 800 yen bath fee. The outdoor bath is covered with a roof, so you can't see the sky, and the space to dry your body has no ventilation, so condensation and rust are visible, and the design mistakes are obvious. The food is expensive, averaging about 1,500 yen, and not very tasty. But, but, but, it's recommended for middle-aged people who want to take a quiet bath. As other people's reviews say, it seems that young party people are still coming. I'd go even for 1,000 yen if they could enforce silent bathing by the front desk, announcements, notices, and patrols. It's weird, but why don't they charge more to differentiate themselves from other stores and drive away the young, noisy people? If they could take a bath in peace, I'm sure more middle-aged people would come.

This facility is attached to the Route Inn Hotel and is located right in front of Oike Park. ♨️ It's closed to guests between 10:00 and 15:00, so if you go around this time, it wasn't too crowded, even on a holiday. The holiday admission fee is 950 yen, or 1,200 yen if you want to use the relaxation facilities on the second floor. Put your shoes in the locked shoe locker and head to the front desk. Leave your key at the front desk and receive your locker key before entering. Meals and other items are handled by staff who check the locker key number. Finally, you're served at the front desk. Inside, there's a sauna large enough to fit about 7-8 people, with the room temperature at 90 degrees. The cold bath is 18 degrees. There's an indoor bath, a refillable bath, an open-air bath, and a rolling bath. There are several baths, both indoors and outdoors, but they don't have reclining seats. I was able to relax in the quiet ambiance. ^_^ There are three hair dryers, and you refill your water by cup. Anyway, it's small, but it's still new, clean, and quiet, which I liked.

I used it from 3pm to around 10pm on a Saturday. On weekends and holidays, it costs 950 yen to just bathe, or 1200 yen to use the relaxation room (which has manga and other items), which is on the high side even for a super sento. As a bathing facility, it's a little small for a super sento. It seems to also cater to hotel guests, so it may be a good deal for them. The facility itself is new and clean, but as mentioned above, it's small for the price. The level of civility seemed low, with customers bringing newspapers to read in the open-air bath and parents with children running around freely in the relaxation room. It was a shame that the staff, who were sorting returned books right in front of me, turned a blind eye. For the price, facilities, and service, I'd be happier at Kakitsubata or Corona no Yu at Highway Oasis. I think I might not go back next time...

For 1,200 yen on weekends and 1,000 yen on weekdays, you can use the hot springs, sauna, and unlimited manga relaxation space for the whole day. There are four baths: an indoor hot spring, an indoor event bath, an open-air hot spring, and an open-air reclining bath. The water is slightly alkaline and is good for the skin. There is a sauna, but it's not very large, and the open-air bathing area only has two chairs and a bench, which leaves something to be desired. The relaxation space is quite spacious and has a wide variety of amenities, including hammocks, capsule hotel-style amenities, and sofas. The air conditioning was a bit too strong, but it was very nice. The food is priced a little higher than average for a super sento, and the taste is just average.

I used it for the first time over the Obon holidays. There were three types of indoor baths: hot, lukewarm, and cold, and one large outdoor bath and a reclining bath. There were manga in the relaxation space, so you can relax and unwind if it's quiet. I went a little after 6pm, but it was quite crowded, and many people said that there were no spots available by 7pm. Also, as the reviews said, there were many irritating things like kids running around making a fuss (with parents not telling them off) and older women talking loudly, so given the reasonable price, there were many people who felt that way. It's a shame, as the staff were very friendly.
