もう、ビジホのレベルは完全に超えています
Reviewed By 185sato京都駅から徒歩圏内で新たにドーミーイン系列のホテルができたので宿泊しました。 インバウンドを狙ったホテルですが、このご時世当然ながら日本人、しかも家族連れが多かったです。 野乃には以前、奈良で宿泊したことがあるのですが、こちらのほうがもっと和風なテイストな造りになっていました。 中でも大浴場は日帰り温泉施設レベルなので多少入浴者がいてもあまり気になりませんでした。 朝食も種類が多くて満足。 ほぼリゾートホテルですね。

4.5 based on 49 reviews
This hotel is located in the hills of Kyoto prefecture, facing the Sea of Japan. From spring to autumn, our chef's speciality is a full-course cuisine using seafood from the Sea of Japan and the abundant ingredients of the Tango peninsula. In winter, you can enjoy Zuwai crab and other seasonal dishes. This place was selected as one of Japan's 100 Best Sunset Locations. The sunsets here are so beautiful that we named the hotel after them. Especially between May and September, they are so impressive that even local people are touched by the spectacular scenery.
Nice, but late check-ins and early check-outs makes for a rushed experience
Reviewed By mapglobal2I’ll start by saying that overall I enjoyed my stay at Hanare Fuka.Having been to literally dozens of onsens (and ryokans) in Japan, this ranks pretty high, in my book. If you’re looking for a nice place that is a bit off the beaten path, then this is a great choice. While it is in Kyoto Prefecture, it is in the far North, about 2 hours from Kyoto Main Station. Make no mistake, this is not on any western tourist list, and it’s VERY dome-dome (domestically oriented) place. You’ll need some decent Japanese skills, or be with someone who has, as no one there has even the most basic of English language skills. Like most onsen hotels, Hanare Fuka is quite large. There’s even a game area and a room with a children’s play area and a ping-pong table. Although the hotel is large, you never have the feeling that it’s crowded. You’re meet by a robot who (in Japanese), will actually talk to you. My Japanese is pretty good, although I do have an ‘accent’, but he seemed to understand me most of the time, which really amazed me. When we first arrived I was so fascinated over him that I initially spent a lot of time talking to him, and my wife had to finally drag me away (as she apologized to the robot, lol). The staff at the hotel is very nice, and welcoming, although they will strictly adhere to not letting you check in earlier than the ridiculously late check-in time of 4 PM, even if your room is available (when in Japan, get accustomed to people not actually ‘thinking’, but instead are very good at following procedures). If you’re thinking about going to an onsen place, you’re not going there to party or to go ‘buck-wild’ (this isn’t Bali or Phuket!). You’re going with the purpose of soaking in a hot mineral bath and to take advantage of its reputed healing/rejuvenating properties. You’re there for the relaxation and peace and quiet which goes with the onsen environment. Onsen places, in general, are good when you can dedicate some time to really do nothing, as typically, they are in areas where there’s not really much to do other than relax. When booking, you’ll have a choice between a regular room, where you’ll use the public onsen, or a room with a private onsen in it. Both types come in either a ‘Japanese room’ (you’re sleeping on the floor on tatami mats), or a kind of hybrid, which is a Japanese style front room, with a bedroom with regular beds. Having lived in Japan in the past for several years, and having slept on the floor enough in my life while there, we opted for regular Western beds in a “Japanese style’ room (which is FAR more comfortable than sleeping on the floor, trust me on this one). We also got this room with a private onsen, which is our usual practice. If you’re new to Japan, and interested in going through the process/steps of the public onsen, then by all means save some money and get just a regular room and use the public bath. If you’ve ‘been there, done that’ in regards to using public onsens, and really just want to focus on soaking and want the luxury of doing so anytime, then you should get a room with a private onsen. It’s so much more convenient. You’ve already dropped a ton of money at this point anyway, so go ahead and just do it. The in-room onsen itself was a beautiful stone one (my favorite kind), and it was just great. Take a look at the picture, and I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s pretty darned nice, indeed. In regards to the room in general, I’m a native New Yorker, and don’t impress very easily, but I will say that I loved our room, and think it was beautifully done (for a Japanese room). I really loved it. The rich wood and nice accents left no mistake that this wasn’t your everyday onsen place, but rather on the more upscale side. We had a balcony with a nice view of the area. There really isn’t anything to look at, but it was nice to have had it anyway. If I have to fault anything about the room, it would be that we had two beds instead of just one large bed, but at least we could both fit into one of the twins, so that was still fine. A first for me was having a massage chair in my room. It was a full on, high-end model, which had many different options. Both wifey and I went to town on it. Basically I spent a lot of time going from the onsen to the massage chair and then back to the onsen. It was amazing, and I loved every minute of it! The only downside to the in-room onsen thing at this hotel is that they shut it down at some point during the night. Supposedly, it was because some Japanese customers complained about the running water noise during the night, which makes no sense at all. I mean, what do you expect when you have the onsen IN your room? Wifey thinks the real reason is that they’re just being cheap and want to save money, and they’re just using that as an excuse. If you get the room package with dinner, then you made the right choice. Firstly, the restaurant is totally cool. Classic Japanese styling throughout, and it is indeed very elegant and just wonderful to see. The service is extremely attentive, and you’ll have your every need met while there. The dinner was kaiseiki style, with many small dishes focusing on regional specialties. Of course everything was beautifully presented. As is the case with kaiseiki dinners, they are rather deceptive. At the beginning you’ll think that you’ll go away hungry (after your first course or two), and think that too much of the focus is just on presentation, rather than substance (which is actually quite true in many instances in regular Japanese life), but in this case it just keeps coming and coming, with every dish more delicious than the last. Trust me when I tell you, that you’ll leave very satisfied. I can’t detail all the dishes we had, but I hope the attached pics can convey something about the experience. I can say that the food was very, very good. As is the case when traveling to Japan, you need to keep an open mind about the food. You’re not always going to like everything, but do give everything a try. You’ve come too far to be picky or finicky. Enjoy yourself! Breakfast is also taken in the restaurant, and you have your choice of Japanese or American (western). I went with the American breakie, and it was delicious. Take a look at the pics, and you’ll see how good everything looked. The portions were quite small, but it was enough. Of special note was the rice bread. Amazingly good, and I couldn’t get enough of it. In closing I really like Hanare Fuka. I love the location, which is far from the hordes in central Kyoto. I really enjoyed the great food taken is such an elegant restaurant, and of course soaking in the in-room onsen. The only reasons that kept me from giving it five stars are: 1. Ridiculously late check in (4PM) and check-out (10 AM). Only eighteen hours in the room? Come-on, now. 2. Early onsen shut downs. If you’re paying for a private onsen, then you should have it available during your stay, regardless of the hour. You’re paying for the access, so give it up. Onsen hotels can be very expensive. Whether or not they are worth it depends on your interest in soaking in hot springs. Long ago when I first tried it, I thought they were unbearably hot and uncomfortable, and said to myself, ‘this is NOT enjoyable at all’. But, I kept giving them a try, and in time have gotten to love and appreciate them. I guess it’s an acquired thing (or maybe I was just being wimpy, lol).So, I'm saying that if you really enjoy them, then it's worth it. In general, I do judge them to be a much better value than a regular ryokan (meaning just a regular Japanese room with a regular bath or access to a regular public bath). At an onsen hotel you are getting more for your money, (although you could argue that they don’t have the ‘charm’ of a standard J-inn). In my opinion though, if you are looking for a nice onsen hotel that is off the beaten path, and you don’t mind the late check in, or having to rush out of your room in the morning immediately after breakfast, then this is a good choice. I truly believe that overall you will enjoy your experience at Hanare Fuka. If you have any questions about this place, (or Japan in general), by all means, please ask. Talking about traveling is always fun! Hope this review helps. Cheers

Nice place to stay in Kyotango, Kyoto
Reviewed By Kkitao217Warm, friendly staff. Room with small balcony to sit and enjoy sea view. Private onsen on balcony big enough for 2 adults. Has elevator but from reception to elevator you have to climb stairs. Comfortable bed and all families and amenities. Public onsen not in use while we stayed.we only had br eakfast but it was good.no complaints. Can’t praise the staff enough. If you don’t have a car it would be inconvenient.

オープン記念価格
Reviewed By fusahia1313基本的には、共立系サービスに満たされています。 先月に宿泊した「花波の湯 野乃 淀屋橋」と比べると、靴を入り口げた箱に入れて、畳敷きを素足で移動するパターンは同じ。部屋の雰囲気・二重扉・夜鳴きそば・風呂上がりアイス,乳酸菌も同じ。 野乃にあって、花伝抄になかったものは、①アルコールのドリンクサービス②湯上がり処に漫画がなかった。特に①においては、野乃では、2缶ずつ何度ももらうことができたが、花伝抄にはなく、非常に残念であった。 野乃にはなく、花伝抄にあったものは、①18:00からの団子サービス,21:00からのチョコサービス②５つの貸切風呂③朝食メニューの種類の豊富。 ②の貸切風呂が売りかもしれないが、洗い場もなく、ただつかるだけなので、家族向けサービスかなぁ。③は、野乃での朝食が寂しかっただけに、今回は大満足。ただ、徹底して和にすればいいのに、洋も取り入れようとするから、洋の部分は中途半端で、カレーも含めて取り立てて美味しいというものが洋にはなかった。和の中での1押しは牛のすき焼き煮？が美味しくごはんにかけて牛丼風にして締めくくり。 サービスについては、これからに期待。いろいろなところで館内渋滞が起きているので、今後の改善に期待しましょう。 料金は、オープン記念ということで、朝食付き1泊が1万円でしたが、オープン記念が終わったらいくらにになるのだろうか懸念材料で、12,000円ぐらいならば、リピート有りかなぁ。 駅からもすぐ近く、ハイルーフ車も停めれる駐車場もあり、道挟んで向かいにセブンイレブンもありで、便利です。

The 2 out door onsen was spectacular, and the food was a great feat to both the eyes and the stomach. Our private bath in our room was really good too!

Indoor/outdoor bath house
Reviewed By Caroline PI stayed at this hotel for one night and had gotten the traditional Japanese style room. However if they are available, you can request a western style room. The room came with its own slippers and had a raised room with tatami mats and both a low table and a taller one in the little kitchenette. There was a closet that had the Futons and a personal care setup which included: hotel pajamas that you could walk around the common areas in, and a little blue bag that had a towel for the bathhouse. In the bathroom there was another amenity care bag that had a toothbrush/toothpaste, brush, face lotion, hair clip, and little toe separator as well. The reception area also has a restaurant to the right that you pay a head of time and reserve if you wish to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. We reserved 3 breakfast sets that they make themselves and is Japanese style. I do not believe they take any modifications FYI. So be prepared to eat what is given to you, it is NOT a buffet style breakfast. Which I was fine with, but one of the people I was with didn't realize until too late. There is a little shopping area in the reception area as well where you can buy food for the room, gifts, and other miscellaneous items which was fun to look around and see. The area does close after 8 I believe, so buy a head of time. To the left of the reception area is where the entrance to the bathhouses are, the raised wooden platform is where you take off your shoes or slippers and walk to the entrance way. There are two areas: one with a blue cover (for men), the other with a purpleish color (for women). The rooms have baskets where you undress and and bring the towel with you to wash yourself and then join the others in one of the 3 hot water baths. Usually you will be naked in front of strangers, bathing suits are not permitted unless on specified days. Because of this, be sure you are comfortable with being around other people naked. Also as a side note, Japanese people do not feel comfortable around people who have tattoos, it is a cultural thing that indicated that the person is a criminal or is part of a criminal organization. If possible, try to plan a head and have the tattoo covered by a bandage or be sure the towel can cover the tattoo. The bathhouses tend to switch sides every day, so be sure you are going into the correct room. Also, men and women do not normally bathe together, you will have to reserve a private bath if they are available if you wish to bathe with a loved one. The common areas have seats, tables, and relaxing views of nature. In these areas alone is there free wi-fi. We could not get a strong enough signal in our rooms so be prepared for that a head of time. They promote being out and about instead of in the room all the time.

you can relax
Reviewed By seeds sI went to RURI KEI hot spring with my family and arrived around noon. we can enter the hot spring after you buy the ticket. You can choose the two type ticket. First, you can enjoy and relax throughout all day. Other ticket can enjoy and relax a little. This hot spring are three spots. First spot is bathing place. You can wash your body. Second spot is soak spot but you need bathing suits. If you forget bathing suits, you can rent it. Therefore you can soak hot spring with your family. Third spot is swimming spot. Children can enjoy too. Other there are relax place after you get out of the bath. There are other place. You can camp and fishing. You will think that camp in winter? however this camp can astronomical observation. The air is very clean so you can see the shining star. You can go RURI KEI hot spring without choosing the season so my recommend place. 私はるり渓温泉に行きました。家族行って昼前に着きました。 チケットを買ってから入浴場へ入れます。 2種類のチケットから選べて、一つめが一日中楽しめるチケットです。もう一つが手短に楽しみたい人です。入浴場には3つの場所があり、一つめが体を洗えるところです。2つめが温泉に浸かることができるところです。3つめがプールで泳ぐことができます。 入浴後リラックスできる場所もあります。 他にもキャンプや釣りができるところがあります。 冬にキャンプと思いますが、天体観測をすることができます。空気が綺麗なので、綺麗な星が見れます。季節を選ばずに行くことができるので私のオススメのスポットです。
