Atagawa Heights

It’s a great deal to be able to stay in a room with an open-air bath at this price as a solo traveler. Since I’m picky about food, the buffet where I can choose what I like is just right. However, since I don’t drink alcohol, it’s a bit disappointing that the price is the same whether you drink or not. I’d love it if there were a slightly better-value Plan for guests who don’t drink.

I prefer natural over artificial, so I truly enjoyed the view of Kawazu cherry blossoms, numerous warblers and their nests, the currently dormant hydrangeas, the sky, sunlight, distant sea with ships and island silhouettes—all visible right from the private open-air bath. Although there is no indoor bath, the deck of the open-air bath is spacious enough for yoga and features a warm water shower on the wall for convenience. I minimized my use of shampoo and soap to reduce environmental impact. Since I spent most of my time in the bath, bringing about 3 liters of water was a good decision. I look forward to visiting again as soon as I can take another holiday!
