Yumoto Kanko Hotel Saikyo

The staff provided courteous service, and I had a very comfortable stay. It was a traditional Hotel where you can feel at ease staying.It is also large in scale, with beautiful fresh flowers on display throughout; it must take a lot of effort to maintain, but I was able to relax and unwind. The price was so reasonable that I almost felt bad. It was a Hotel that exceeded its price.

I stayed for one night during the latter half of a three-day weekend. This is a long-established tourist Hotel with a lot of history. While some aging is unavoidable, it has been renovated appropriately, so the oldness didn’t bother me. The Room was a Japanese-style room with two beds, but it wasn’t inconvenient at all. Everything I needed was provided, and I could feel the thoughtful attention to detail. What I especially liked was the breakfast buffet—I ate a lot. They were constantly checking to make sure nothing ran out. The disappointing point was the bath area in the Onsen: all of the waterfall massage features were broken. If there were another type of bath in that space instead, I think it would feel much better overall. I understand that maintenance alone is difficult, but enhancing the baths seems like it would greatly affect attracting guests—especially since this is one of Yamaguchi’s well-known Onsen areas.
