4-Star Hotels in Shimane Prefecture, Japan

I have visited various hot spring resorts in Japan five or six times. I have to say that compared with the hotels of the same price I stayed in before, the service, hardware and garden view of Changleyuan are all first-class. The front desk staff are very warm and thoughtful. They will greet the guests from morning to night, remember the needs mentioned by each guest when checking in, and confirm whether they are satisfied at any time. In the morning, I suddenly wanted to go to Tamatsukuri Onsen Station, and the staff immediately drove me there. It rained on the way back at night, and I called the front desk, and they immediately sent a car to pick me up. There is a small imperial garden of a certain emperor in the hotel, which is much better than the scenery of similar hotels in the surrounding area. The most important thing is that the bathing environment is too good. There are many bath towels at the door, so you don’t need to bring bath towels from the room. The hot spring water temperature is very accurate, so you can soak for a longer time. Most hotels have open-air pools that are too hot and indoors that are too stuffy. You want to get out after soaking for a while, but there is no such concern here, which shows that the hotel really cares about the guest experience and hopes that the guests can enjoy comfort. Staying here is a good choice to go to Izumo Taisha and Adachi Museum of Art (it is also convenient to go to Matsue, but there is really nothing to see there). There are multiple shuttle buses to Tamatsukuri Onsen Station in the morning, afternoon and evening. In short, I like these lovely staff very much and will come back to stay again. In addition, there are no restaurants and convenience stores in Tamatsukuri Onsen Town. It all depends on the hotels to provide catering. Try to book a room with dinner, otherwise it will be pitch black at night and there is no place to buy food. The dinner in the hotel is good, traditional Japanese style.

It was a great experience, very much like a budget Japanese inn, with tatami floors throughout the building, a natural hot spring on the rooftop where you can soak in the hot spring and watch the stars and the night view, free massage chairs that were great, and a variety of free food. The last entry for breakfast is at 9:00, so remember to get up early for breakfast. You need to queue up to enter at 7:00 on Saturday morning. I like the homemade seafood bowl and all-you-can-eat crabs the most. Every dish is very Japanese and the fruits are very sweet. The hotel is affordable and I would like to stay in the same group of hotels again if I have the chance.

The room is spacious, bright and comfortable, with views of the Tamatsukuri Onsen street. The hotel is well-equipped with two indoor hot springs (both with open-air hot springs) available, one on the first floor and the other a viewing hot spring.

A great hot spring hotel, right next to Izumo Taisha Shrine. There are many restaurants around, but they are all closed at night. The hotel's courtyard is exquisite, the hot springs are average, and the food is average. The best thing is the location and courtyard. It is an old building and the service is good.

The hotel is very new. We stayed in a lake view bungalow (two beds + tatami mats). It was a bit crowded for four people, but the floor-to-ceiling windows and the view of Lake Shinji made it worth full marks! The lobby on the first floor of the hotel is large, very new, and full of sunshine, but you don't often encounter service staff. You need to take the trolley yourself and return your luggage to the designated location on the first floor. The architectural design is a bit strange in that there is no door, but a small The main entrance, as well as two side entrances. It was a bit difficult to find the entrance at first. It is strange that guests need to pay for parking (500 yen per day, the ticket must be presented to the counter for magnetization) The public bath on the top floor is good, the facilities are very new, the space is large, the view is good, and the temperature is moderate. We like the casual clothes provided in the room (not a yukata, just a black top + pants), which can be worn to bathe or sleep in It is comfortable, but it cannot be worn in the public areas on the first floor and the restaurant on the second floor. We stayed during the Christmas period. There was only a buffet restaurant to choose from. The breakfast was very good. The menu options were not very large but the dishes were exquisite and delicious. It should be noted that there are very few restaurants around the hotel. If you stay here, you don’t want to eat expensive food on the second floor. Buffet restaurant, it is best to finish your meal during the trip and then return to the hotel.

The view from the room was very good and the meal was very delicious in the morning and evening. I think it would be nice to be able to buy night meals and sake because there was no convenience store nearby. (There are some)

Very pleasantly surprised, the room was very comfortable, the sea was outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the private soup pool was great to watch the sunset, and the minibar was free in the first round and the local sake was delivered. The dinner was great and the price was right. But there are 8 rooms that are not very good for weekends and need to be early in advance. Since there is nothing to eat nearby, it is best to book dinner on the official website, and you can make a rice ball to take away after eating rice. The breakfast is also very generous, it is Japanese style, and it is very full. The station is inconvenient to the hotel. It is best to rent a car at Izumo Station. If you take JR to Oda, you can taxi but it is difficult to take a taxi. You can let the hotel help you book a taxi.

The environment is quiet, all employees are very polite, praise 🫶🏻
