Shimane Prefecture accommodation from NZ$72

I was in love with this hotel the first time and subsequently stayed 2 more times for a total of 4 nights. My first room was a corner Japanese style room with lake view. I haven’t seen a more fully staffed hotel, it even has 2 parking staff directing traffic for 30 lots. The hotel has facilities like onsen, laundry, and a convenience store. My favorite is the amenities counter which is practically a buffet with things that I’ve never seen before at hotels, including cool wipes, salt tablets, shoe fresheners and toe pads. Only gripe is it is not near the station so it’s a 10 minute bus ride and 5 min walk.

This is a traditional onsen. We enjoyed it and learned a lot about Japanese culture. We'd stay again.

Very nice hotel. They gave us a free upgrade without even asking for it. The hotel and rooms are very well maintained and not dated.
