Tokura Kamiyamada Onsen Club Wyndham Chikuma-kan Nagano (formerly Tokura Kamiyamada Onsen Yuko Chikuma-kan)

This was my second visit to Kamiyamada.I chose this Accommodation for a trip that also celebrated my mother’s birthday, Mother’s Day, and my own birthday.From the warm welcome on arrival to the clear explanations about the stay, everything was polite and easy to understand, and both the Room and baths were clean.There were private baths as well, and depending on the time slot, anyone could use them.Since I could choose a meal Plan, I selected the lighter shabu-shabu set; there was plenty of meat and I was very satisfied.Many of the staff are from overseas, but they assisted us courteously in fluent Japanese. If I go to Kamiyamada again, I would like to stay here again.

This was my third stay since the management changed. The hot spring water was the cloudiest it has ever been, which was perfect for me as I love milky baths. What’s more, I didn’t run into any other guests in either the indoor or open-air bath, so I got to enjoy a private-bath-like luxury. Dinner was also very good.A couple of small disappointments: breakfast last time included an onsen egg, but this time it was replaced with a rolled omelet; and while there used to be one serving of drip coffee in the Room on previous stays, there wasn’t any this time (even though a coffee cup was provided). If there is no coffee, I felt it would be better not to provide the cup either.That said, it’s still excellent value for money, and I would like to stay again.
