Appi Kogen Mori no Hotel

This was my first time staying here, and it was absolutely wonderful. We stayed as a family of four, including my parents and child, and the Room was upgraded as a service, allowing us to enjoy a fantastic Room in comfort. The beds were very comfortable for my parents with mobility issues, though they mentioned that futons on tatami mats were tough for them. I deeply appreciated the Hotel's thoughtful consideration in this regard.The public bath is compact but sufficient. The silky-smooth water is not too hot, making it perfect for soaking leisurely. The outdoor bath has even silkier water that leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized.The meals were incredible—large portions of high-quality meat at such an affordable price! It was almost too much to finish. Above all, the staff's attentiveness and warm smiles were outstanding. Despite being busy, their polite service left me deeply impressed. During dinner, we received two extra dishes as part of their service; everything tasted amazing! There was also self-serve ochazuke (rice with tea) offered as a late-night snack—the broth was so delicious that I couldn't resist eating again despite having had such a big dinner.The only disappointment was that the private baths were always occupied whenever we checked and we couldn’t use them this time—I’ll make sure to book earlier next time! Also, there are many stairs; it would be great if handrails could be added in the new building.That said, both the baths and meals exceeded expectations. The balance between attentive yet unobtrusive staff interaction was perfect too. I will definitely return again someday! Thank you so much for taking care of us during our stay!

The front desk staff were very kind. Also, I didn’t know before my stay, but there was a free shuttle to Appi Kogen Resort, which was incredibly convenient!
