Wonderful stay

Great onsen right by the river. The room was large, clean and nice. We had one with a private open air bath (highly recommended). The staff were proffessional, accomodating and sweet. Breakfast and dinner consisted of a variety of delicious small dishes. The hiking close by was nice as well.

The bathroom had a pretty funky smell that never went away, and it seemed that their answer was to put a tiny bag of potpourri next to the toilet, but it could have used a more thorough cleaning. Otherwise, a very nice and helpful staff, great free shuttle for local hikes, and decent breakfast and dinner. Quiet and lovely spot by the river where many people were enjoying the water.

Conflicted. The location is great. Room was dirty in ways you don’t want a room to be dirty. There were parts missing in shower so I had to hold the wand to shower. Tub always nice. Paid a lot of this room so didn’t feel the delivery of service matched that. The food was pretty bad and the service was not great overall. Didn’t feel sanitary in how food and dishes around food handled. Loved the area and the hotel staff did try but this place as others have said needs to do some work to improve.

　西館3階の「かじか」に宿泊。2年前のこの時期にも同じ部屋に泊まりました。広々としたツインの部屋で川に面したベランダに露天風呂がついています。最高のくつろぎ空間。 　夕食は個室でお造り、すき焼きを中心に豪華でした。特にご飯は釜めしのように固形燃料で炊くのですが美味しかったです。 　残念なのは部屋や大浴場の清掃が行き届いてないので改善して欲しいですね。　 　それから中居さんがちょっと雑で個人的感想ですがセルフサービスの方が良いと思ってしまうレベルでした。 　和朝食に卵・海苔・納豆といった定番アイテムがないのも寂しかったですね。 　とはいえ、部屋の素晴らしさ、泉質、ロケーションの良さは魅力的でまた泊まりに行きたいと思ってます。

ずっと滞在したい、ちょっとお洒落な温泉宿

夫婦の旅行で、露天風呂付き洋室「かじか」に宿泊。大きめのベッド２台とソファー、テーブルというシンプルなお部屋でした。 フロントの方の対応もとても丁寧。 食事は個室で落ち着いた時間を過ごせました。夕食は質、量ともに大満足でしたが、朝食についてはお味噌汁がなかなか来なかったり、隣の部屋には出されていたベーコンエッグが忘れられていたりと、かなり納得のいかない結果。 もっとずけずけと言えば良かったのかも知れません。 最後になって惜しいマイナスポイントですが、全体的には大満足でした。 もちろんお風呂も、こじんまりとしてますが雰囲気の良い空間でいやされました。 当日はカゲロウが大量発生したらしく窓を開けると部屋に入り込んでしまい、妻がちょっとパニックになったりしました。夜は部屋の露天風呂には入れませんでした。残念です。 また違う季節に泊まりたいです。

とてもいい温泉＆丁寧なお料理です。

とにかくとてもいいお湯の温泉でした。 お肌が潤いツルツルになります。 湯温もちょうどよかったです。 お料理も地のものが出されとてもおいしかったです。 舟盛りがどーん！と出るような派手さはないですが一つ一つが丁寧に作られていて大人向きだなと感じました。 少しだけ残念だったのは事前にHP記載のメールアドレスから出していたチェックイン時間についてのお返事をいただけず帰りまでそのことに触れられることがなかった点です。 別途電話もしていたのですがその日は休館とのことで通じませんでした。 とはいえこのような時勢なのでスタッフの人数を絞られているでしょうし仕方ないのかなとも思います。 お部屋はかじかという露天風呂付きの客室でしたが丁寧に清掃されており快適に過ごせました。 自然が近いからかお客様の少ないときだからかはわかりませんが小さな蜘蛛が数匹いたので絶対に虫NGの人は厳しいかもしれません。 またうかがいたい宿でした。

癒されました

熊野古道巡礼3日目、熊野本宮大社までゴールして、大社からバスで移動しました。川湯温泉にはバス停が三箇所あり、三番目の「ホテル富士屋　前」で下車すると、ホテルの玄関前で、スタッフの方が迎えてくださいました。下車0分です。泊まったお部屋は、古くて壁紙の汚れやめくれがありましたが、館内は改装されて、清潔で近代的でした。ベットに慣れているせいか、敷布団が硬かったです。でも、巡礼で歩き疲れていたので、爆睡しました。温泉の浴室と、露天風呂とが別になっていて、両方入りました。コインランドリーがあり、巡礼で汗まみれの衣類を洗濯できたので、とても助かりました。食事も美味しかったです。

Wonderful Traditional Japanese stay

This is a great traditional Japanese place to stay and located 15 min by shuttle or bus from Hongu shrine and world heritage center. It’s on the river and the staff is friendly, onsen inside and outside (during season) and access to hot springs river out the door. It’s traditional futon sleeping with in room Japanese bath. Plenty of space and welcoming service. All meals are scheduled if you are going to eat at the Inn. Food is wonderful and classic Japanese only.
