Inishie no yado Keiun

This hotel is a complete surprise. It's called Jiayun, what a nice name. I didn't have high hopes when I booked it. I saw that it was a 10-minute walk to Izumo Taisha Shrine, with one night for one person and two meals, and the price was right. When I arrived, I found that the whole hotel had been renovated. It is exquisite and tasteful, with perfect details. There are no fake flowers, and the flower arrangements are very clean. The service is even more enthusiastic and proactive. They have the ability to receive foreigners. The staff who sent me to the room and served dinner provided Japanese service without any discounts. They used a translator to translate every sentence. The room was clean, tidy and comfortable. There is a hot spring cypress bathing pool. Now the hot springs with the words "loan kiri" are all free. There is delicious ramen at 10 pm. The meal is very good at this price. There is no pick-up service. Take the bus from Izumo Station to Izumo Taisha Shrine at 2:30 pm for 30 minutes. Apple navigation is very accurate. Now I am in Jia Suiyuan Minami in Tamatsukuri Onsen. It is too old. Although the price is higher and the reputation is greater, it is completely inferior to Jiayun. It still needs a renovated hotel

The 5 private baths are really great and you can go there anytime. There is also free ramen in the evening. The hotel service is very good and foreign language communication is no problem. The only drawback is that the buffet food in the morning and evening is not very varied and tastes light, which is not very edible.

The system of taking off your shoes at the front desk and the tatami corridor were very pleasant. I was surprised that even the inside of the elevator had tatami! The room was relaxing and the cypress bath was excellent. However, the toilet was small compared to the size of the room, and as it opened inwards, your slippers would hit it, so I thought that larger people or men might feel cramped. I was glad to see the thoughtful items provided, such as eye masks in the dinner area and heating pads in the breakfast area. The food was also really delicious. (The only disappointing thing was the duck soba that you could select for dinner.)

I wanted to enjoy the quietness of the open-air bath, but it was quite noisy, probably because the boiler room was nearby. Other than that, I enjoyed the whole experience.

It was a little old and dusty in the corners, but I would have been satisfied if the price was cheap. It was a little small for four people and just right for two, but a little pricey. There was only one type of kaiseki meal, but there were many options and it was delicious. The open-air bath in the room was great! The temperature is controlled 24 hours a day, so you can bathe whenever you want. The service was neither bad nor good, just average. Overall it was good, but I felt it was a little lacking in value for the money.
