“朝食は期待以上だが満足感はスタッフ次第。”
The front‑desk staff were foreigners; I think the main language was French, but one of them spoke almost entirely in Japanese, while the other, probably still studying, tried to speak Japanese. Their explanations were clear, and I hope they keep trying even though it must be tough. The morning shift had a different foreign staff member, which was a bit disappointing. Breakfast included white rice, three kinds of cereal, grilled salmon, natto, kinpira gobo, a raw egg, furikake, and juice, and I was especially happy with the natto‑egg rice. The lodge felt clean, and the shampoo and conditioner were better quality than those at a spa. I didn’t receive any extra towels, but I wonder if I could have requested them. The TV offers Amazon Prime and Netflix, and the sofa is plush and comfortable. Laundry supplies were available, but there was no dryer. I only learned about the slippers when I was leaving; it would have been better to know earlier. On the second day, the staff seemed nervous but could have used a set phrase like “May I use a translator?” or something. It was sad that a guest eating breakfast next to me was on their phone and no one spoke to them. The plates were not prepared in enough quantity for the number of guests; I only noticed after finishing my meal that there were plenty in the dish cabinet. I also found out that other guests were using the fridge when I was leaving, with no explanation. This place isn’t a high‑end hotel or ryokan, so it should try to standardise quality, perhaps by introducing a checklist. Service expectations differ between countries, so the staff should adapt accordingly.
