After watching Yato and eating ramen in the evening, we arrived at the accommodation at around 2150. This was my third stay at Ureshino Onsen. I have already collected all the "Japan's Big Three Beauty Baths", and the "#日本三大美肌の浴" are "Ureshino Onsen" in Saga Prefecture, "Hinokami Onsen" in Shimane Prefecture, and "Kitsuregawa Onsen" in Tochigi Prefecture. Currently, only Hinokami Onsen is left that I have not experienced yet.
This time I stayed at the "Japanese hotel Wadaya Betsuso, a stay at Ureshino Riverside", which is arguably the most famous hotel in the area and has hosted royal families. "#Wataya Betsuso" was selected as one of the "#Top 100 Japanese hostels" and "#Top 250 popular hot spring hostels". It is also a high-end hotel. It really feels high-quality when you enter the door. The decoration and store merchandise are full of design sense, with a cultural and creative, artistic style. The corridors are full of various works of art. I booked a one-night breakfast plan, which came with a "#Fujimaen" green tea redemption voucher. No wonder the owner of the ramen shop recommended me "#Ureshinotea" when I chatted with her.
The room is a 10-mat Japanese-style room located in the "Tawa Building". It is a very ordinary Japanese-style room. No wonder I saw such a good price for a high-end hotel on a Friday on the hotel booking website. It turns out that the Tawa Building is quite old.
The large public bath "#御影殿" is located on B1 and can only be accessed by stairs from the 1st floor. The overall design of the high tower building "タワー宮" including the bath is by the master architect "#黒川纪章". It's a pity that the building is older than me, so it is so mottled. There is construction going on outside, and it seems that other accommodation areas will be expanded in the future. I went to take a look outside "#水明荘". The rooms there are more upscale, and there is an outdoor drinking fountain in the corridor.
I was a bit disappointed with Buffe for breakfast, there was nothing special about it. This hotel tends to arrange high-end groups to stay in Shuimingsou, so I would not consider booking it again based on the content of this stay.
