Shimohara Hotels from S$57

"What a lovely stay in this hotel during our family retreat to Enakyo. This is our first time visiting the beautiful town and our experience has been a very positive one. The hotel is clean, staffs are friendly and the onsen is enjoyable. The room we stayed is properly sized for the three of us, there is no shower within our room, but the public bathhouse was enjoyable. Will definitely visit again."

"The BOSENKAN was a great experience. We really enjoyed the Onsen, even though it was our very first experience. The food was traditional, and there were a lot of new tastes for us which was nice. We were surprised by the large number of non-native workers there were. It did make understanding them difficult, and we felt it was less authentic. But we still enjoyed our stay! We will miss Mizuki-chan!"

"Very commercial onsen hotel with lots of staff onsite when checking in to a point it actually feels quite overwhelming. A nice touch when arriving where they allow you to drop off the luggage and drive into the parking lot where a mini shuttle is there to drive you back to the hotel but the negative is the next morning when you’re leaving you’re left dragging your luggage down a slight slope where it makes you feel like valued guest when you arrive but when you’re leaving they don’t really care especially when me and my partner went for a dip in the morning then proceeded to breakfast and thought we might have a Power Nap till 10:30 before hitting the road but to our surprise by the time we finished breakfast and got back to the room the mattress and the bedding was all cleaned up and it felt like they literally wanted you out which was kinda disappointing to say the least and it really didn’t make you feel like you’re on holidays. The sites had quite a few onsen options but the town shuts quite early so remember to get yourself sorted early or you may be stuck either paying resort priced restaurants or stuck eating convenient store food because there is not much open late in the evening so plan before you go for a dip. Additionally the rooms and in generally the hotel looks abit tired also. Overall not a great experience especially this was our first port of call since arriving in Nagoya. Not a great way to start the trip. "
