On the middle day of the three-day holiday, the coronavirus pandemic had officially ended, and all the hotels were trying to recover the losses they had incurred from the coronavirus by setting ridiculously high prices. However, I found a reasonable price of 11,400 yen per person including two meals on the internet and stayed there for the first time. The website was very clean and I had high expectations, but in reality, as other reviews said, it felt like a resort hotel with strong traces of the Showa era. This was especially true in the entrance, front desk, and lobby. The room I stayed in was an old-style Japanese-style room, and cleaning and maintenance were not perfect. The large hot spring bath was in a separate building, quite far away, but as soon as I moved to the separate building, it was made of modern concrete with art works hanging on it, suggesting that it was built much later than the main building. The outdoor bath was a small bath that could fit 4-5 people, but the indoor bath was spacious and open. The best thing about this hotel was the food. As they sang irori cooking at night, I was able to enjoy a sufficient amount and a variety of dishes. I also had the pleasure of cooking on the hearth myself, so I enjoyed my meals. However, the rice was dry and not tasty at all, which made me think that maybe they cooked it at the wrong time or with the wrong amount of water, which was the only disappointing thing. The breakfast was also very varied, and I was very satisfied with the food. Tateshina is a seasonal resort, so the accommodation is clearly divided into "winners" and "losers," and to be honest, there are many parts of the building and equipment that are not well maintained, and some parts are noticeably dilapidated, but this accommodation seems to be "trying hard." Considering the cost-performance ratio of the accommodation fee, service, room, bath, and above all, the food, I think it is a satisfying accommodation. It is okay to pay a high accommodation fee, so it is not suitable for people looking for modern cleanliness.
