Shigisan Kanko Hotel

We wanted to try a hot springs inn and decided to stay overnight here. Located in Nara prefecture and getting there by bus from Oji station, it's less of a foreigner hotel and more for the Japanese. Beautiful nature with natural hot springs and intriguing cuisine, it's a true Japanese experience for everyone. However, beware that they don't speak English well and there is a bath tax that you have to pay at the end of your stay, even though you paid everything else beforehand. Additional drinks like beer during dinner is also not included.
