Business Hotel Goi Onsen

This Business Hotel partners with the driving school next door. The Onsen has an open-air bath with natural hot spring water; it is black and pleasantly warm. It felt so relaxing that staying in too long might have made me feel unwell. The breakfast was excellent. It is buffet-style, and being close to the sea, there was a wide selection of items such as whitebait, hijiki seaweed, and nori. In the morning, if you go a bit later, it can get crowded with guests attending license training camps. The Room is small, but it has the minimum necessary amenities. In the twin Room, there was a long desk with two chairs. The lighting is also designed to illuminate where you need it. I would like to stay here again when I visit Ichihara.

For this price, having two meals included, an Onsen, and a Room with no particular issues (it seems to have been renovated and didn’t feel old) felt like a great value. The staff at the front desk and in the dining area were all very pleasant. Also, although I didn’t have much time to read this time, there was a good selection of fairly new manga next to the elevator, which I thought was a nice touch. I’d like to stay again if I have the chance.
