Sunset and Music Enjoyment Scenic Resort, Niikappu Onsen Hotel Hills

The warmth of the wood and the log-cabin-style atmosphere of the building were wonderful. There are so many appealing spots inside that one day doesn’t feel like enough time. Our Room was on the ocean-view side with a great view, which was excellent. The service was outstanding—the guest lounge was amazing. Dinner also included free drinks, so I ended up drinking until bedtime. The food was delicious as well; I especially loved the medicinal hot pot and kamameshi! It was cherry blossom season, so we went out to Nijukken Road, and the sunset afterward was breathtaking. It turned into the perfect holiday. Since I didn’t get to fully enjoy the lounge curry rice or the record concert, I’d love to come back for a second try.

Perched on a hill with great views. I didn’t make it in time this trip, but I’m sure the scenery from the open-air bath at sunset would be wonderful. Guests can enjoy complimentary drinks such as beer, which made it easy to relax. One small thing: the Room I stayed in was at the far end opposite the large public bath, so it felt like I had to walk about 100 meters inside the Facility to get there (lol). The front desk and staff were also pleasantly unpretentious and welcoming, which was very soothing—I’m glad I chose this Accommodation for the last stop of my trip.
