Hotel Hana Isawa

I visited Yamanashi for the first time in a while.The natural hot spring Onsen water was silky-smooth,and it felt wonderful.

We arrived by car on a rainy day, and the available parking space was toward the back. I hate to compare, but at the Hotel we stayed at the previous day, staff came to the car to help with our luggage and guided us to our Room. I’m not asking for that much, but I would have appreciated it if someone had at least come out with an umbrella.The Room felt a bit dated, but it was kept clean. Dinner was generally delicious. However, the rice was served as individual pot rice, and it turned out hard and dry. I ended up making ochazuke to eat it and left about half.Breakfast was buffet-style, so it was nice to be able to choose what I wanted. Maybe I missed it, but there didn’t seem to be any coffee—I would have liked some. It also wasn’t available as a welcome drink.The bath was exactly as described in the title. I used it right after arriving and again before bed, and both times were relaxing and very enjoyable.
