Kose Onsen Reviews

I went to Kose Onsen Hotel, which has many dry reviews on tripadvisor. The exterior is quite austere and feels like an adult inn. I felt uneasy about reviews of reasonable rooms and chose a standard room. The room is on the second floor and there are not too many stairs, but it is not easy to climb, so it is difficult for the elderly. I would like an elevator. The room is certainly dusty, some of the sliding doors are old, and the shoji paper is torn. Because no heating worked properly, there was not any problem. The washroom is also new, and the toilet is also a washlet. There are some things like the musty smell and the futon, but there is no problem with the futon, and there is an air purifier, so the air doesn't feel dirty. For hot springs, we went to a private open-air bath first. Hmm... go down to the 1st floor, go up the stairs a bit, and go upstairs again... so this is making an old man cry again. The hot spring is hot, but has an oily smell and is slightly thick. The view is nice, so it's comfortable. However, the time limit from borrowing the key to returning it is 40 minutes, which is rather short, so I am worried about the time and feel restless all the time. Moreover, the next day it can only be used for 30 minutes ... I want you to do something about this. By the way, there are two private open-air baths, one of which is rumored to be lukewarm, but when I checked in the lobby, I was told that both the indoor and open-air baths are set to the same temperature. I think that the people at the inn are probably the type who likes hot water. The next day, I went to the indoor bath, but I wondered if the indoor bath was more comfortable because it was fresher and had a stronger oily smell than the outdoor bath. It is said that there is a hot spring in the room, but even if the temperature is set higher, only lukewarm water comes out. I don't think the hot spring water comes out warm because the source is hot, but I was surprised to find that black water comes out after running it for a while. As expected, it's not the oil from the source, is it? Either way, even I, who likes lukewarm water, didn't feel like going in. If it's not a hot spring, there's no point in entering. The meal is a course meal that you eat with chopsticks, so we chose a higher-grade course. The meat was delicious, but other than that, I didn't have much of an impression. Wait for a while until the food arrives. The main feature of this inn is still insects! It seems to be a bell worm when I see it. I thought they were cute bugs because they were harmless... At first, there was one in the room and one in the bathroom, but as time went on, they started to multiply. I really don't know where it comes from. Before going to bed, I checked 4 of them, and they sometimes make a jumping sound, so I was worried about the sound, so I put on earplugs and slept. By the way, this bug is everywhere, even in the corridors and in the changing rooms of the indoor baths. Suzumushi Heaven. I'm sure the people at the inn have given up on temporary measures. Only the hot spring was good, but I felt that it was a wasteful inn. I think the price is a little high, but when it comes to renovating the inn and taking measures against insects, you have to pay a high price. By the way, if you stay at the Oze Onsen Hotel, the toll road will be free, so it is recommended to go to Shiraito Falls on your way home.
