Hotel Kolam air panas di Kitakami

Shoes were taken off at the door and the hotel has a policy of ‘socks or bare feet’, which was fine by us. Socks were supplied in the room, if you didn’t want to wear your own. The hotel is a bit of a maze but we were guided personally to our rooms, and staff made sure that we had everything that we needed. The room was a new experience for us, with tatami mats set up with a table and chairs when we arrived and then converted for sleeping with futon mattresses. Unfortunately, I’m rather taller than your average ryokan guest and so spilled over the edges of the mattress. The small pillows (filled with buckwheat?) were also a bit of a challenge. Facilities in the room include a sink and a toilet but no shower. This is zero problem because there is a huge choice of different onsens, all of which are excellent. Traditional dinners and breakfasts were served in the dining room; huge feasts of small dishes, all beautifully presented. I suspect that I made many gaffs in the manner in which I ate everything but I thoroughly enjoyed it all. We also very much enjoyed the cultural dance show, and making use of the karaoke room! Thank you to all the staff who made us all feel so special and introduced us (gently) to the ryokan concept.

青年旅舍類型，衞生還行。男女混住，拖家帶口的在這跨年滑雪的人也不少。膳食比較簡單。可以泡兔森之湯。
