Overview
Hirugami Onsen Hotel Hirugami no Mori is a hot-spring hotel on high ground in Hirugami Onsen, looking out over the hot-spring town, with Japanese-style tatami rooms and Japanese-Western rooms throughout. In summer, an all-weather indoor pool with an 80-meter water slide is open, and staying guests can use it free of charge. The multipurpose hall Hanamomo inside the hotel has a kids' space, and there is a large swing on the grounds. At dinner, elementary school children are served a children's set meal and children under school age a kids' meal, while breakfast is a buffet with more than 40 items. Extra beds and humidifiers are available to borrow; numbers are limited, so they must be reserved in advance.
Rooms
The 37 guest rooms are all finished with tatami in Japanese style. The Deluxe rooms are Japanese-Western rooms of more than 20 tatami mats, with two twin beds plus an 8-tatami Japanese-style area; from 3 guests, futon bedding is used, and these rooms are on the 1st or 2nd floor. There are only 6 Deluxe rooms, and they take 2 to 6 guests. The Japanese-modern bed rooms (listed on Rakuten Travel as "Japanese-modern-style bed rooms") are limited to 5 rooms on the top floor and take 2 guests only, so they do not suit families of 3 or more. There are also upper-floor Mountain View rooms (10-tatami Japanese-style tatami rooms) and Standard rooms (10-tatami Japanese-style tatami rooms), both taking 1 to 5 guests, with children's rates available. All rooms are non-smoking. Being tatami rooms, they are easy places for a small child to crawl around and stretch out.
Dining
Both breakfast and dinner are served in the restaurant or a banquet room; there is no mention of in-room dining. Dinner is a Minami-Shinshu kaiseki meal, and for children, elementary school children are served a children's set meal and children under school age a kids' meal. Breakfast is a buffet with more than 40 items, served from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. Depending on the number of guests and the day's bookings, it may instead be served as a set Japanese breakfast. Children have the same breakfast menu as adults. Dinner start times are 5:15 p.m., 5:45 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., and you tell the hotel your preferred time in advance. Being able to start dinner early makes it easier to fit around a child's bedtime. The soft drink bar is free and self-service at both dinner and breakfast.
Baths and Onsen
The spring water is an alkaline simple onsen (pH 9.7), colorless, clear and odorless. There is a communal bath and an open-air bath, open from check-in at 3 p.m. until 1 a.m. the next morning, and again from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. In winter (December to February, excluding the New Year period), the open-air bath is open from check-in until 1 a.m. the next morning.
