"Good as"

"My elderly mother requested a visit to a hot spring, so we chose this hotel for a two-night stay in the new wing with two meals included, with the goal of relaxing in a quiet place. Our room was on the west side of the new wing, so the western sun was strong, but it was clean and the bed was a Simmons, so it was comfortable. The garden wasn't a great view, so the view wasn't great. I'm a little surprised it was finished like that. I'm sure food is a matter of taste, but it didn't suit me. Dinner was a set course only, but overall it felt like they were too elaborate and lost sight of the goal. The menu was focused on quantity and had a lot of overlapping ingredients. Wouldn't it have been better if it was simpler? And the coffee was just awful. It's a shame, as the water was delicious. I recommend bringing a drip pack when staying overnight. (There is a kettle in the room.) You can get some water at the front desk or in the restaurant, so it's a good idea to bring a plastic bottle. You could also bring some spring water. There is a refrigerator, but no freezer, so you can't buy ice cream or something to eat after your bath, so be careful. I think this might be a good option if you just want to take a bath in the hot springs and sleep in a nice room. Also, if you're not very good at walking, taking a bath might be a bit difficult. The building is barrier-free, but it is quite a distance from your room to the bath and there are stairs. I think it would be more convenient to have a wheelchair. However, it was really quiet at night and the stars were beautiful to see. Perhaps because of the nature of Hara Village, I was able to spend a peaceful time without being bothered by people or cars."

"The food was delicious and I enjoyed it."

"It has the appearance of an old-fashioned pension, but is compact and well-maintained."
