Stay at weekday prices. Since I chose a tatami room in the Fujidate, it was just over 11,000 yen per night including two meals. Unfortunately, while there are Fujikan and Sakurakan, the Fujikan is a smoking room. I think this is not limited to Kakyoyu, but because Ooedo-Onsen Monogatari buys the management rights of old hotels and ryokans and operates them, but most of the hotels have smoking rooms. I asked in advance, so when I entered the room, there was no smell of cigarettes, and the corridor was relatively odorless, so I was relieved. WIFI is only on the lobby floor, there is no room floor at all. It was very nice to bring mobile wifi because I expected not to. Unlike other hot spring areas, Kakyoyu is terribly depopulated, so there are many abandoned inns around, and there are almost no restaurants where you can eat (especially dinner), so you have to aim only for hot springs. I can't recommend visiting it, and I can't deny the feeling that the existence of Oedo Onsen Monogatari is a last-minute salvation for this town, but I really like the remoteness of it. The scenery of Godai Bridge is splendid. There are 2 x 2 open-air baths in the Fujikan and 2 x 3 in the Sakurakan. Sakurakan is about 10 minutes away on foot, and in winter it would be difficult to walk to another bath. There is a shuttle bus, but it is not convenient because the time is fixed. Furthermore, Fujidate is a former hotel-like building, but Sakurakan is a former rehabilitation facility (or a nursing home), as it claims to be a ``hot spring inn''. The smell of the elevator was just like that of a hospital, and the design of the floor guidance signboards was quite institutional and lacking in sexiness. There is a standing bath with a depth of 100 cm and a medicinal herb bath that contains several kinds of medicinal herbs, so you can enjoy a hot spring cure bath. I thought that if it was more casual, the utility value would increase. Fujidate's open-air baths have a deserted atmosphere that makes you feel like you've come to an unexplored region. In particular, the open-air bath is deeper than other Oedo hot springs, and if you sit flat, you will use up to your chin, and you won't be able to stay in it for a long time. There is usually a table in the bathtub where you can sit inside, but even if there is one, it is low and does not work, and there are not many of them, so it is almost non-functional, and it is a pity that you can not take a long bath. Looking at the amount of ingredients in the Fujinai hot spring, it says ``Takiguchi is free-flowing. It seems to be watered down). Therefore, the indoor bath is recommended. The food is stable and I like it, but it seems that both the dining room and the kitchen are small, and it was disappointing that the tempura was prepared in advance instead of being cooked in a live kitchen. Overall, it has become a compact all-you-can-eat. The fact that the sukiyaki was heated with solid fuel, the fact that we could eat local foods such as Shinshu soba and Shinshu miso soup, and the fact that the desserts were of a high level were quite good points. Currently, there is a plan with a good price due to the corona disaster, and it may be the only hotel in Kakyoyu that offers a free shuttle from Matsumoto Station or Ueda Station, so I feel like I want to go there again," but if the price goes back to the normal price, I'll think, "I wonder if I'll bother spending 3 hours." WIFI does not enter the room, so it is not suitable for workcation. Is it only for short trips for Nagano residents? . .
