Hot spring Hotels in Izumisano

Clean, good value and innovative hotel. The hotel is located by the Osaka bay. It provides either Bay view or city view. Rinku town station is just 10 min away by foot. Don’t be taken aback by 10 min walk. You would actually walk through a beautiful park and reach the hotel. Check in was smooth. The receptionist was a robot dinosaur. Everything was made easy and smooth. Room itself is a fine size. You could open the window slightly if you want to. Good lighting . The bathroom is decent size and equipped with a nice soaking tub. The room is spotless and clean. Bed and pillow are very comfortable too. The highlight of the in-house guests is to have access to the nice hot spring via 2nd floor. In-house guests do not need to pay additional fee for the hot spring. Upon check out, you could even leave the luggage’s free of charge for the day. That’s really nice. Last but not the least, I came across a dilemma during the stay. It was because the terms and conditions ( fine print) was in Japanese and I could not read it. It causes a little of inconvenience. I appreciate the staff assisted me on this one-off incident.

The hotel is clean and comfy with the large big bath and supply of enough showering space and amenities. Though it's a bit more than the stated 15 min shuttle bus distance from Kansai Airport, it's very convenient to have the shuttle bus service. Special credit to the scale placed at the elevator, very caring equipment to tourists to check the luggage weight.

On map it seemed to be remote from any subway station, yet the transport was easier than it thought to be. Taking Nankai Bus (Route 23) from Hineno Station to the last stop (Inunakiyama), the Inn is just right in front of you. Our stay was in the Japanese style room with private hotspring. Spacious room and tidy. The private hotspring tube is at the semi-enclosed balcony, and spacious enough for me to stretch and sit, yet still fully submerged in water. Dinner and breakfast were served in traditional “Washoku” style, which were great but the cuisine just might not be to everyone’s taste. Relaxing, quiet and private was perhaps the best conclusion of my stay, and yes, the private hotspring experience was phenomenal. Honestly a bit pricey, but definitely an enjoyable and unforgettable experience.

There were a huge number of overnight guests, and many day-trippers. I had no idea that there was such a crowded hot spring inn other than the major budget chain hotels. It seemed almost fully booked. I have been staying at hot spring inns for about 15,000 yen for the past few years, but there are few that are thriving, except for public inns. This inn has been renovated carefully. The food is not the best, but everything is not bad. The hot spring is warm and has good heat retention. At inns with many guests, it is best to bathe late at night. When there are many guests, it can be psychologically oppressive, but it is best not to worry about it. In any business transaction, if it is not due to the trend of the time, it is probably because the guests feel that it is worth it. It is difficult to know whether a place is worth it or is valuable to you just by word of mouth, so you have to find a place and stay there. This inn seems to be good at attracting group guests. The group guests seem to be in a good mood.
