Nakanoyu Onsen Ryokan

A hot spring hotel 20 minutes away from Kamikochi actually has a Chinese-speaking waiter. The condition is average and the price/performance ratio is very high. I couldn’t book a hotel in the Kamikochi Scenic Area 4 months in advance. I was also drunk.

The service is good, especially the waiter who understands Chinese is very warm and kind. The best place to stay at Toshiyaki-dake is Naka-no-yu. The breakfast and dinner are delicious, and you can soak in the hot springs to relieve fatigue.

First of all, this inn disregards the safety of its guests. When we went down from the 3rd floor, which is the evacuation route, to the 2nd floor, where we stayed, the entire opening was covered with strong vinyl, making it impossible to evacuate. There was an evacuation route guide posted on the floor, so I was unable to follow the designated route. I don't understand if it's because they're saving money on heating bills. While staying at the hotel, a young male employee (young man?) was walking back and forth in the lobby loudly talking to people outside about things like ``Kankocho is singing'' until there were guests. In the lobby in the morning, two female employees were sitting and chatting, and even though there were guests passing by, it was a bug. There were no hand towels at breakfast at night. The TV is analog and the toilet paper is very hard. Before checking out, towels for the next accommodation are prepared outside the guest's room, and on the way back, the driver smells unpleasantly and is unpleasant. It's a modern building and doesn't feel like a secret hot spring. I wonder if they are trying to reduce costs by ignoring safety as mentioned above because of the high cost of building. They may be hoping to attract customers during Kamikochi's tourist season, but it's the off-season and the signboard for the ``Japan Secret Hot Springs Preservation Association'' is crying.
