Experience of the stay
Since I gave up my car, I am focusing on hotels in tourist spots that are close to stations. This time, I enjoyed the area around Kofu Station.
The last time I came to Kofu, I stayed at the Komaya Hotel via another site. This time, I booked the Chateraise Hotel Tanroku-kan at Hafh.
There is a hassle of contacting the front desk before entering the large public bath, but thanks to that, it wasn't crowded, and I could enjoy the hot spring slowly. The water flows directly from the source, and there is no chlorine smell. There were some floating flowers, but there wasn't much odor either.
After soaking in the hot spring, I was nice and toasty, and I could eat as much of my favorite ice cream as I wanted! They said there wouldn't be any refills from 22:00 to 8:00, so I should try to enjoy it outside of those hours.
It was a very enjoyable trip!
Experiences during the trip
I inquired whether it was possible to add breakfast during check-in, and it turned out to be 2200 yen per person. In the end, we decided to eat nearby the next day. There are plenty of places to eat around Kofu Station.
The chicken giblets at Okufuji Main Store were delicious!
