Hotel Zagakukan

I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels in my time and I have to say this is the best hotel I have ever stayed in. Check in isn’t until 5pm but check out is 1pm. The welcoming staff were super friendly and very helpful. You have amenities in your room but they have extra in the lobby. Who knew heated eye pads were a thing! That I now need in my life. The room was amazing with a king bed and a 3 piece bathroom that has an onsen and a separate shower that use water from the hot springs. And oh my god, the bed is the best. The softest sheets I have ever slept on and the quilt makes you feel like you are sleeping in a cloud. (In hindsight I wish I had taken the quilt and have charged me to buy the quilt, it was that amazing) we checked out as late as we could just so I could lay under the quilt. I’m just annoyed with myself that I only booked this for 1 night.

Cosy, well designed room with great amenities. The bathroom had a small hot tub and the shower was great. The king bed was very comfortable. The location was pretty and an easy walk to the train station. We would come back.

Wonderful small hotel, well located just outside the central area. Very spacious rooms, slick modern decor, lots of space to relax and store your things. Our room was on the top floor with a private rooftop onsen that was absolutely fantastic. The rooms don’t really have much in the way of windows or views, but the overall experience is marvelous. There is no food service in the hotel but there are many options nearby.
