Ryokans in Teshikaga

GPS lead us to another Oyado Kinkiyu which is older. Oyado Kinkiyu Annex Suikazura (exterior newly renovated) is further in along the road. The rooms are a little old but big and clean. The staff is unable to communicate in English but she provided us a stack of translated instructions and notes which was very helpful. The road is quiet ( I think it is off peak) with only 2-3 eateries & 1 gift shop are opened. However we still had a good time!

The staff was really wonderful: we needed help and they helped beyond expectations! Lovely! Thank you! The breakfast was a set but really great! Good quality. In the evening we also ate in house and it was more than correct. Nearby station and sulphur mountain.

Whilst the public areas reflect the age of the hotel and years of wear and tear, the room I occupied was in pretty good condition. The room was spacious and had all the requisite facilities. It was delightfully warm and cosy all the time. The onsen is a fine facility despite its age and has 4 or 5 baths of varying temperatures. Breakfast was a buffet with a reasonable choice of dishes and started at 6.30, so plenty of opportunity for the quick getaway afterwards. The hotel is also close to a number of pretty decent restaurants. Overall, I enjoyed my 3 nights in this hotel. It's good value for money and a much more affordable alternative than the hotels on either Lake Akan or Lake Kussharo.

The location is quite convenient, staffs are nice.
