Yubara no yado Komeya - Maniwa 3-Star Accommodation

Across booking sites, comments like 'staff are smiling and attentive' and 'kaiseki meals are tasty' repeat. The onsen water is soft and smooth on the skin. Nepalese staff fluent in Japanese are noted for their energy.

However, access is poor, requiring two bus changes and over 2 hours. Complaints include small or hot baths, and risk of isolation in winter. Some rooms lack views or are far apart due to the long building.

Suits active travelers with cars. Families and couples enjoy the onsen and meals.
