Sanyo-so

Facilities: Complete facilities, large rooms, nice landscape, average breakfast and dinner, not up to the standard of a high-end Japanese hotel Hygiene: Average, bugs, scary Environment: Very good environment, you can see the courtyard from the room, but you can't go in and out Service: There was no receptionist at the door, and a front desk person came out after a while. The service staff had a good attitude, but after checking out, no one paid attention to us with our luggage, and the worst thing was that we had to open the door ourselves

A genuine Japanese hotel with a large room of 88 square meters. The complimentary dinner at the Sakura restaurant is highly recommended. The excellent Japanese-style courtyard is particularly photogenic. The disadvantages are also very obvious. The room is large and empty, relatively hygienic, and there are a lot of mosquitoes in the courtyard. Compared with this price, I think the hotel in Shuzenji may be more suitable next time.

The room is super large and well-equipped. Although it is a little old, it is well maintained. The private hot spring pool is private and the bath products used are also great! The dinner is quite rich, the ingredients are fresh and the taste is good!

The location was appropriate and the cleanliness wasn't bad. The service seems to be much worse than other ryokans. The outdoor bath was also just one small outdoor bath. It seems like they paid more attention to the aesthetics of the food rather than the taste, but I wish there had been more emphasis on the taste. The biggest advantage of this ryokan is the large garden, but it doesn't seem as beautiful as it looks in the photos. I don't think it's worth the expensive price.

The environment is very good👍

The room is big and clean

When staying here, it is very important to consider what you are looking for. According to the official website, "Sanyo-so Main Building was built in 1929 as a villa for Hisaya, the eldest son of Yataro Iwasaki, the founder of the former Mitsubishi zaibatsu, in a magnificent Japanese garden designed by Jihei Ogawa, a gardener from Kyoto. It is a stylish Japanese-style building with a sukiya-style architecture." If you want to stay in this historic building, this is the place for you. If you are simply looking for a high-class Japanese-style inn, please do your research. The wide entrance and the beautiful garden are the highlights of the impression. This time, the room was a "New Building Standard Japanese Room," but other reviews say that it was actually built in 1988. "New Building?" Well, compared to the main building... but there are a lot of questions. In places, the "distress" is more of a concern than the "oldness." The sliding door separating the living room from the next room is so poorly fitted that you wonder if it's even fastened, there are stains on the wall, the keyhole to the door to the room is too low, there is no drip coffee or cups, let alone a coffee maker, the hot spring in the bath attached to the room is wonderful, but the bucket and chair are black with mold. When I opened the lid of the electric kettle to boil water, there was a stain like tea stains. It certainly looks old, but it's a shame that no one checks it. The windows are wiped clean, and the style of taking off your shoes at the entrance and walking around the building in socks (barefoot) is clean and comfortable, but I think that even proper cleaning cannot keep up with the wear and tear and oldness of the equipment. The faucet in the bathroom is lowered in the style before the earthquake, and everything may have something in common with the attitude of this inn. If you think that the difficulty of maintaining an old building and that there is value in that, then you should definitely stay here, but if you are looking for a typical high-class inn, you will be disappointed in many ways. Nakai-san and the foreign staff are very hard-working, but it is far from first-class, so it depends on what you are looking for. That said, perhaps in response to our request for fewer electrical outlets, there was a four-outlet tap, and enough face and bath towels were provided so that we could take a bath in the room many times. It was a thoughtful touch, but even if it wasn't a complete renovation, it would be better to get a new electric kettle, a bathtub and chair, and do something about the chipped concrete in the bathroom and the black mold on the window frame. I stayed there with a very reasonable plan just before. It was good value for money. It may sound harsh, but I would not stay at the regular price. I think that small things can make a big difference, but it was a shame in many ways.

This is my second stay. Last time we stayed with a large number of people, but this time it was a couple. I was able to enjoy Sanyoso slowly. The great thing about Sanyoso is that you can stay in traditional Japanese architecture. You can take a walk in the wonderful Japanese garden and feel the change of seasons. Immerse yourself in a wonderful free-flowing hot spring with no peculiarities. Is it like this? What I particularly like about Sanyoso is the interior corridors, or rather, the wide veranda with a view of the garden. And the architecture of Mr. Togo Murano is a place where you can relax without being extravagant. This time, I was able to see the camellias blooming in the garden while soaking in the hot springs in the room. Also, I would like to make time to go out.
