The hotel is not far from the station, just a 5-minute walk. However, after walking out of the station, you have to walk up the stairs and it is a bit difficult to pick up your suitcase.
Other than that, the hotel is very good.
When you check in, they are very helpful with your luggage and instruct you to take off your sneakers and put on slippers.
Personally, it is recommended not to bring a bag when going to the suburbs of Tokyo. It is more convenient to bring a backpack or handbag, because traveling between regions will affect the locals and is inconvenient. You can stay in the city.
There will be Kaiseki cuisine at 6pm, which is quite large but very delicious. The kimono women are also very service-oriented.
Before six o'clock, you can soak in the real hot springs for private reservations if no one is using them. However, the last bus around there is at 5pm, so it is recommended to soak in the hot springs at the hotel.
Dinner will last until about 7:30, and the kimono-clad woman will prepare the quilt in the room on the way, which is very comforting.
The tea and ice water in the room are delicious, and the tea sets are very traditional.
There's not much to see outside the room, but it's good to get some early rest.
