Cleanness of room was great but the rooms are getting a little run down. Service from staff was outstanding, they always willing to help and going beyond to help you even if u don’t speak Japanese. Fantastic building and design. Amazing architecture.

I stayed at Kawakyu for two nights during the October long weekend. I had always wanted to stay there, and I finally got to experience it. The large public bath was very spacious and relaxing, and it helped relieve my travel fatigue. However, I did have some concerns. I used the King's Buffet, but the ventilation was poor, and the smell of oil from the grilling steaks reached my table. There were long lines at the popular sections, and by the time I got to eat, the food was completely cold. In addition, the concierge was only at the front desk, so I had to walk quite a distance across the large lobby to get to them. I was able to use the hotel's rental bicycles to sightsee in Shirahama. It was a good experience and I have fond memories.

The view from the 8th floor was great. I was concerned about stains on the carpet and bald spots due to aging facilities. I don't like the fact that there are metal fittings without any paintings. The toilet paper is not folded in a triangle, and the hotel should do this as a sign of hospitality without being misled by various theories. The food was also delicious. However, it was unfortunate that the space behind the chairs was narrow and there was a lot of foot traffic, making it difficult to dine in peace. Above all, the male staff member's welcoming attitude when we arrived was very good, and first impressions are important! The female staff member was also kind and helpful, taking photos for us.

The hardware facilities of the rooms in hotels built more than 30 years ago are a little nostalgic, but you can imagine the luxury of the time. Overall, it is not bad. The basic rooms are very large. I booked a basic room, but I want to emphasize that the main feature of Kawakyu Hotel should be the breakfast and dinner buffet. The dinner buffet is great!!! When booking a room, you need to confirm whether it includes two meals. You can really eat delicious food. Ctrip's order confirmation is also very fast, almost in seconds. Like

The environment is beautiful and the room is the largest among the hotels I have stayed in in Japan. The breakfast buffet includes sashimi rice, and the dinner buffet includes Wagyu beef eye dishes. Overall, I am very satisfied.
