실크 온센 야마비코

We booked the Standard Japanese-Style Room with Toilet for a one-night stay. The hotel was rather old, and the room was of a typical ryokan style with a standard-sized layout. One of the highlights of our arrival was spotting a few deer relaxing on the hillside near the car park. It was a lovely little surprise and a unique experience to start our stay! 🦌 The onsen facilities were also quite dated, and the toilet area inside the onsen had an unpleasant smell. It could have been due to the large number of guests on the day of our visit, as the place was rather crowded. However, credit goes to the cleaner, whom we saw working very hard to keep the area clean despite the busy conditions. Overall: The hotel offers a traditional Japanese ryokan experience, but the facilities could benefit from some upgrading and better maintenance. The deer sighting was a nice bonus, though the ageing onsen facilities and cleanliness of the toilet area could be improved.
