Seto Ohashi bridge Onsen Yamako

We stayed overnight with our family. Good Points - The kids' bath was great! - The room was larger than expected, so we were able to relax. Disappointments - There was a smoking area at the entrance. It really stinks! We had to hold our breath while passing through. - There was absolutely no information about the restaurant's services for guests. I was confused as to why we had to ask for everything. - There was no greeting from the front desk, so it was awkward when we passed in front of them, and it felt like we were being ignored. - The men's bath was generally lukewarm. Other - I couldn't find any facial cleanser or makeup remover, so I brought my own. - The floor didn't feel slippery.

I went to Okayama on vacation and stayed here for one night. To sum up my impression... the facilities are just old. The carpet inside the building is faded and has been repaired with duct tape in places, and the lockers in the large public bath are covered in rust. The portions of food in the dining area are small. Without WiFi, a washlet, or a TV with subscription channels, it would seem like one of the health spas that sprung up in the early Heisei era have remained intact in the Reiwa era 30 years later. Maybe they've neglected to invest in and update their facilities? The large public bath is also slightly difficult to use, so I won't be returning.

I only used the hot springs in August. The facilities are generally old. The open-air bath had room-temperature water. It was during the hottest part of summer, so it felt nice, but it was also a bit unsettling because it seemed like a temperature where bacteria could easily multiply. There was also a room-temperature (cold water) bath in the indoor bath. This was separate from the cold bath. Perhaps this is to save fuel... There are manga comics in the rest area, but the selection is limited. The towels provided were tattered. I just wanted to take a shower and lie down for a while, so it satisfied my needs, but I'm not sure if I would return.

Although it's an old hotel, the room was clean. There's a large public bath and an open-air hot spring bath, so I didn't use the bath in my room. The shampoo, conditioner, and body shampoo are available at the front desk, and you can choose your preferred product and pour it into a container before taking it to the bathroom. While they're available in the bathroom, they tend to get dry, so I recommend women bring their own from the front desk. Yukatas are free, while pajama-like items cost 300 yen. A bottle of water is provided in the room. I stayed there to see a popular theater performance, so the amenities were sufficient.

I always use the hot springs and the restaurant on the second floor. The prices have gone up a few years ago, which is understandable, but the interior still has a rather old-fashioned feel to it. The floor in the bathroom is generally slippery. Elderly people and children often slip on it. I think they should put down anti-slip mats everywhere before anyone gets injured. The restaurant on the second floor has reduced the number of menu items compared to before, but I still think the food is delicious.
