2-Star Hotels in Toyooka

Excellent place in terms of price/quality ratio, nice hosts, not far at all from the onsens (actually the whole town is not big), good grocery store and restaurants opposite!

I was unable to return home due to the heavy snowfall and had to search for a lodging in a hurry, but it was close to the station. They even brought me some newspaper to dry my snow-soaked boots, which was a real help! ❗️ Since it was a hostel, I was a little worried about traveling with my elderly mother, but there was a Jizoyu hot spring nearby, and we were given a voucher to warm up our bodies, which were cold to the core, and my mother was very happy. They also lent me rain boots, so I was able to walk around town safely even on snowy days. Thank you so much for your hospitality! 😊

The location is superb, nestled in an alley next to Jizo-yu (a traditional Japanese bath), quiet and away from the main street, so there's no noise from passing cars or the clatter of wooden clogs. Check-in is at 4 PM. Arriving early might mean no one's there; just leave your luggage at the door and wander around. There are security cameras everywhere, so it's very safe. Rooms vary in size; your assigned room is entirely based on luck. But rest assured, each room has its own unique character, very Japanese, with fragrant tatami mats and thoughtful touches. For one night's stay, each person receives two bath passes, so plan accordingly: one in the afternoon, one in the guesthouse's private bath in the evening, and one in the public bath at 7 AM the next day, then you can leave. The meals were surprisingly delicious, all Japanese home-style dishes. We were lucky enough to get snow crab, which we loved. The only inconvenience was communication. None of the staff at this family-run guesthouse spoke English, and even translation software wasn't accurate. Basically, they spoke their Japanese, I spoke my English, and my friend spoke Chinese—a three-way conversation! However, the owners were very welcoming.

It is attached to the one-day hot spring facility and will be used until 21:00 with day trip guests. If I chose the time zone, it was Saturdays and Sundays, but it wasn't so crowded and I slowly put it in the hot springs. After 21 o'clock, it was a bathing time for only guests. The hot water was trottro in the alkaline hot spring. It was a blissful time to see the double cherry blossoms from the open-air bath. The food was seasonal and local, and the dinner was especially delicious! I was able to relax and refresh. I want to go again.

Everything was good, but when I tried to pay the additional amount when checking out, they told me to pay even the room price I paid in advance when making the reservation, saying it was a 'tax'. After 5 minutes of us checking and finding out, they suddenly said to themselves, ”Oh,” and told me the amount to pay again. It was so At first, I thought it was a mistake, but when I thought about it, I saw that in Japan, even for small mistakes, they apologize repeatedly and say Moshiwake Gozaimasu, but the employee never said a single word of gomennasai. Are we Mistake? So, I guess we just said Hi My Steak and that because we are foreigners, we tried to eat the cash by ourselves, but if you read the review, don't live such a pitiful life. Really. And if you are a foreigner who wants to go here, beware of the guy wearing glasses who looks like the manager.
