The hotel is 7 minutes walking distance from Hida Furukawa Station. The toilet of this station is the only one I have encountered in Japan that does not have toilet paper. Even the unmanned stations in the countryside have toilet paper. It is not used up but the paper holder is folded, which gives a very bad impression. I arrived at 2:30 and checked in. There was a welcome matcha. The century-old building does not have a stale smell, unlike the Ishiya Hotel in Kanazawa, which has a large musty smell. The room is Western-style, and it is very convenient not to sleep on the floor. The tatami does not smell like straw mats. Everything is very exquisite and elegant. The hot spring is very good. There are 4 soups on each side, with various temperatures. There is a soup with big roses floating in it, and they are swapped the next day. The hotel's 4.9 points are obviously inflated, mainly because the breakfast and dinner are too bad. I don't eat much but I didn't eat enough. I saw the thinnest and least sashimi here, and there was not much beef. It was too confusing. More than half of the hotel's Europeans and Americans stayed. There was no coffee, only green tea in the room, all lounges were charged, and breakfast drinks were charged. I stayed at the King of Value for Money in Jixiangting this time. The service is rich, with 50 minutes of free private bath, geisha performance, freshly made pancakes for afternoon tea, 24-hour lounge, very good drinks, happy hour, pudding, snacks in the morning, excellent quality, and everything is delicious. Private bath, one person, one cleaning, small refrigerator, and popsicles. Then check in Taotaoan, which is worthy of the top ten selected by Japan in 2024, a model of Japanese hot spring hotels, full of the hotel, Kitaoji Rosanren's works, free Nespresso coffee, happy hour is very good champagne, although it is about 1,500 yuan more expensive than this one, but I think it is more worthwhile. The quality of the dinner is Michelin, the quantity and variety are much richer, the serving rhythm is accurate, the service is meticulous, there is a turndown service, a small refrigerator with many free drinks, young staff, serious and responsible for foreign tourists, repeatedly confirm, breakfast will ask what time to check out and then come to pick up the luggage, and send the station to bow for at least two minutes. Compared with Taotaoan, this one is too foolish and can be said to be not worth mentioning. 4 points at most, I will not stay again.
