Hokuto Hotels with Free Breakfast

Honestly, a lot of these ”stylish glamping” places are all about aesthetics and nothing substantial, right? But this wasn't like that at all. The moment we checked in and put our luggage down, the Southern Alps stretched out before us outside the window, and my girlfriend and I just stared at it, saying, ”Wow, isn't this amazing?” for a while. We opted for a room-only stay, and it was the right decision. At night, we just sat by the campfire, gazing at the fire, drinking alcohol we bought at a convenience store, and before we knew it, two hours had passed. It made me realize how fast-paced my life had been in the city. The open-air bath was absolutely incredible. It was a natural hot spring with continuously flowing water, and you could see the entire starry sky while you were soaking. Apparently, it's one of Japan's three best stargazing spots, and I understood why. I was surprised to even see something that looked like the Milky Way. We were both in there and didn't get bored at all. The room was a trailer house, so I thought it might be small, but it wasn't at all. The silver interior on the ceiling reflected the outside light beautifully. The bed (apparently made by NELL) was incredibly comfortable. Honestly, I didn't expect to be this satisfied without a meal. Next time, I'd like to come with a meal included. My girlfriend also said she wants to come again, so we'll definitely be back.

The owner was kind and taught me the recommended rice shop. The room was beautiful.

The entrance from the main street was difficult to find, and I was surprised at how dark the area around the inn was at night. However, upon entering, we were greeted by staff member Kanno-san with a refreshing smile and her dog. Since we were the only guests, we were able to use the bath freely, which felt like a great bonus. Although it has a Showa-era atmosphere, the rooms and baths were clean, and we had a very pleasant stay. For dinner, we were introduced to a restaurant owned by the previous owner (Kanno-san's father), and they even provided transportation. The homemade breakfast was also delicious. They're also planning to open a sauna, which I'm curious about... I would definitely like to stay there again!

Breakfast was satisfactory, but dinner was also prepared for the elderly. But the staff in the dining room was very good.

Because the bus toilet is attached to the room, it is necessary to care about other rooms I'm glad I didn't have it. However, I was prepared to be narrow. The room is twin but a bit larger than the business hotel, four people The room is just a good size for families. The food was delicious with course food, but the children around the family were Some children were eating the same dishes as adults, but they were clearly different from children's dishes. I think it's better to check.

The building was old, but it was hand-made and clean. The hot spring in the large bath was also pleasant. I was able to spend very slowly.

The hotel front desk was very kind and friendly I was happy with the polite response of the breakfast hall and the cheerful greeting Hot springs are also full of amenities and are helpful I would like to use this next time I visit this area.

The room is average, simple like a business hotel. I was disappointed with the Hoshino. There was no one in the lobby, few waiters, and a long queue for breakfast. The so-called commercial street has few businesses. The hot spring is outdoors, which is terrible when it rains. You have to wear clothes to soak in the hot spring. It may be more suitable for Japanese families. It is very noisy, there are many children, and the sofas in the lobby are shabby.

He told me that a wild pheasant came to the forest next to the hotel and explained carefully to the shops around him. The child was very happy to see the pheasant. There were many restaurants around, and I was able to drink wine and enjoy it very much.
