Hoshi

The facilities are a bit old, the room is spacious, the room has a bit of odor, the hot spring is ok, the shower is a bit old, and some are not working well. There are small debris on the path to the open-air hot spring. The food is worth it.

The waitress herself was not good at English and was unwilling to explain in simpler Japanese. She said "oh my god" when we didn't understand. Did she think we couldn't understand? ? ! Very angry, bad service! ! Later, the manager came forward and explained it in simple Japanese and we understood. Staff training needs to be improved, very poor service

I stayed at a long-awaited monk. Although it is no longer said to be the oldest ryokan, it still has a history of 1300 years. Part of the building is also a tangible cultural property. It's natural, but the building is dilapidated, but I don't mind. There was a matcha service with a view of the proud courtyard. It's a reasonable course, but it's a room meal. The quantity was sufficient and I was able to do it slowly without any problems.

During my two-day stay, I was worried about the stains on the tatami floor in the room. There were two linear marks (width 3 cm, length 40 cm) of spilled liquid, and there was also a stain like a drop of toothpaste. There were also traces of it on the floor of the main room. If I check out as it is, I'm likely to be suspicious, so I asked the inn person to check it out. "The stains and stains weren't made by me. It may be difficult to tell because of the lighting, but you can see them clearly when it's backlit. The inn should check the room after the guest leaves, so why didn't you remove the stains as soon as they found them? It's easy to remove, but it's not easy to remove after a while.Have you ever thought about the feelings of the guests who use the room after this? The Japanese-style room itself is splendid, but it doesn't make sense to leave stains." No,” I said. When I first entered the room after being guided, the room smelled stuffy. With a history of 1,300 years, this hot spring inn is the third longest in Japan, and seems to be poorly maintained. I didn't see anyone cleaning or inspecting the hallway, the dressing room in the bathroom, or the bathroom. The food served at the inn and the hot springs did not leave a particularly good impression. It feels like just a ryokan ruled by a conservative old system. Only the Japanese garden in the courtyard had a good impression. I sincerely hope that this ryokan, Hoshi, which is the central presence of Awazu Onsen, will be revitalized. I was worried whether the young proprietress, Hoshi-san, would be able to carry this difficult situation on her back and get through it safely.
