Kazenokaori Mori Premier

I stayed in a maisonette twin room for one night in early August. The staff were all friendly and attentive, creating a relaxed atmosphere. I was impressed by the level of service befitting this hotel. Free drinks were provided, and the service was prompt and plentiful at dinner, breakfast, and the lounge bar. The food was delicious, and the boat-shaped platter was surprisingly luxurious! The breakfast included dried horse mackerel, as well as the mildly flavored steamed nabe (pot-steamed fish), which was the perfect morning treat. They also served a birthday dessert at dinner, and I was so happy they allowed me to take it back to my room. The magoochazuke (chicken rice porridge) at the bar was so delicious I ended up ordering it twice. The bath had a wide selection of shampoos and conditioners from various brands, which I think women will especially appreciate. When I got in the morning, I felt like I was taking a walk in the forest, and it was so refreshing! The hotel is surrounded by forest, so if you're particularly sensitive to insects, I recommend visiting in the winter. There was a lovely fireplace in the lounge, but I was wondering if it would be used in the winter. Although I didn't use it, there is also karaoke and bicycle rentals, and there are manga and books in the lounge, so you can have plenty of fun both inside and outside the hotel. You saw me off with a smile until the very end, and this is one hotel I'd like to stay at again. Thank you so much!

If you’re looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating experience in the middle of forest, look no further! There are two onsens that are completely private that we got to enjoy all to ourselves. The large window opens and the nature smell emanated the onsen – nothing beats soaking in warm, mineral-rich waters while taking in the views of the surrounding nature. Food was good but definitely can be improved more – the beef I got for dinner was a bit dry. All staff were very polite and friendly. The building was well kept but it had “grandparents’ house” feels. Love their mini-library with interesting books you can rent during your stay. My highlight was all inclusive (all you can drink alcohol) and private karaoke! There are two private karaoke rooms with the latest songs and equipment. We had non-stop 3 hours karaoke night after dinner and had drinks and tasty midnight snack for free. The only drawback was the location. It’s 20 mins drive from Ito station and we had to take a cab, costed about 4,000 yen. They cashed back 2,000 yen if you show the receipt. They offer one shuttle service to the station at 12pm. BUT they gave me Thann body butter worth 4,000 yen so not too bad. *No English available here

Since it is located in a villa area, you can spend a quiet time. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and there are plenty of amenities so you don't need to bring anything. The food was delicious, both dinner and breakfast. There were 3 private baths available that day, so we were able to get in at the time we wanted. All the employees were nice, but I was disappointed that there was no sharing of information regarding incidents. However, it is a hotel that I would like to visit again.
