Wellness Forest Ito

I’ve stayed here several times in the past and returned for the first time in a few years. There are even more services now—free drinks, happy hour, and after-bath ice cream—and a beer brought me back to life after the drive!The front desk and hallways were decorated with cherry blossoms, and our Room was a corner room away from the elevator. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and the view from the window was amazing! There were even cherry blossoms blooming above Tenku-no-Yu, and in the morning we enjoyed an open-air bath with petals drifting down like a blizzard.At dinner, my son tried crab for the first time in his life and seemed to love it. The other dishes were also delicious, but it was disappointing that the French fries were very hard, as if they had been sitting out for a while (personally, I preferred the previous spiral fries).With such a spacious Room where even a large group can relax comfortably, we’ll definitely be back again as a family!

I love this place so much that I’ve stayed three times in a single year. The interior and furniture (including the sofa) are a bit old, but since it’s a renovated condominium, it’s incredibly spacious and feels just like being at home. The welcome drinks—sparkling beer and lemon sour—are the best part. Everyone rides the elevator smiling with a cup of beer in hand, so even first-timers instantly feel like part of the group. As long as you’re careful on the spiral staircase where you’ll be moving to the bath unclothed, you can enjoy a charming retro bath, and the after-bath ice cream is a nice touch too. The buffet was very satisfying, though I did notice some saltiness in the crab legs; there’s also ochazuke and a sashimi corner. It’s a Hotel that never stops trying to make guests smile—I truly love it.
