2 nights at Hotel Urashima
Our stay at the hotel was just ok. The hotel is from 1957 and is an aging relic of what I am sure was a once glorious hotel. Much of the hotel appeared to be shut down to guests and falling into a bit of disrepair in places. The lobby was supposedly renovated recently and a Lawsons general store has been added which is nice. The traditional Japanese room was nice and clean in comparison to some of the more common areas of the hotel, much of the furnishings appear to be original many of which are falling apart 2 of the 3 chairs i sat in literally came apart and needed to be pieced back together. The traditional mats for sleeping are not enough padding if you have a bad back you will want to have them triple stacked at minimum. The windows needed cleaned everywhere we went. The pop up shops are cute but limited the kids arcade was adorable and the game tables were a cute addition. The two main attractions 1- the Onsen I hear was great from my travel mates but I did not partake - Its traditional Japanese so take notice you may only enter nude. I feel they could make one onsen swimsuit optional since they have several just my opinion. 2 - the space elevator was not in service that i saw the two days we were there which was a disappointment since I had read that the views were spectacular. Use the elevator to see the sunrise which is spectacular but wear bug spray! the buffet had huge variety but it expensive! Overall the stay was fine would love to come back after renovations
