We caught up with the first autumn typhoon in Shanghai's history. It was a heavy rainstorm and the flight was delayed for more than three hours. Fortunately, we were able to arrive at the hotel at more than 10 o'clock that night. We soaked in the hot springs that night, which relieved most of the fatigue of the journey. The next day, at breakfast, I saw my son, who was nearly 70 years old, bringing his mother, who was over 90 years old, to stay at the hotel. I was touched by the care for the elderly during breakfast. At dinner, three couples of old friends drank a little too much and talked loudly. Drinking and singing are not common in general hotels, but I felt their happiness throughout the whole process. When I left, the waiter apologized for this and told me that I was an old guest of the hotel and was already in my early 80s. In fact, I don't mind at all. At such an old age, they must be old friends for many years. Their families are healthy and complete. Of course, they are very happy to have a party. They are so lucky. The hotel is full of feelings and very warm. It feels a little different from the hotels that ordinary tourists often go to.
Regarding food, breakfast is buffet (mainly Japanese, but also coffee and bread), and dinner is banquet cuisine. The taste is relatively light and traditional, which is my personal favorite. The rice is of course very good, especially soft, sweet, and distinct. The new rice from the famous rice producing area is delicious.
Regarding the hot springs, the water temperature is very comfortable and you can soak for a long time at a time.
The stay experience is quite special, very Japanese, and it is also a hot spring hotel where you can easily relax.
