Hatagoya Jyozankei Shoten - Hostel

The highlight of my stay was definitely the outdoor hot spring. Soaking in the warm water while feeling the crisp winter air and watching the snow fall from the sky was exactly the experience I had dreamed of—a truly memorable moment. However, my experience at the hotel’s restaurant was quite different. While the quality of the meat was excellent, the pricing felt unreasonable. It was a BBQ menu, yet they charged an additional 'table fee' per person. Whether this is a local custom or a specific business practice, I found it hard to understand why I had to pay extra just for a table to eat the food I ordered. It was not a pleasant experience.
