屋久島海洋&森林酒店(The Hotel Yakushima Ocean & Forest)

the room housekeeping staff were so nice and kindly, I can't speak Japanese well, and they help me to connect retail car company when I almost miss the flight time. when I had changed my flight ticket, the server help me to connect the rental car company of kagoshima. And now I'm in Kagoshima. Enjoy my trip

It’s pretty inside, but rather empty. I’m upset because they turn off air conditioning in all rooms from 10 am to 3 pm. I am sick and unable to go out. I need to lie down, but I’m forced to wait, coughing, in the lobby cafe, until 3 pm when I can return to my room. The front desk tried to banish me to two employee rooms. Disgraceful. The AC is centrally managed, so presumably they simply cannot turn on the AC in my room. The small gift shop is not open during the day either, so there is nothing to do here. The ocean nearby is a rocky cliff, plus it is steaming hot outside in August. If you are not sick, you can go out exploring all day and come back to AC in your room. However, if you are exhausted with time zone issues, sick and coughing, they do not accommodate you here. It could be worse. The lobby cafe is comfortable enough, but I am bored. The gift shop, when it opens, has no earrings or valid souvenirs for sale—just a bunch of dead fish items. Their onsen is co-ed and naked. Last night’s dinner in the restaurant was a vegetarian laugh of boiled lettuce. Breakfast was better. The cafe offers very little bariety of food. If you are vegan, you are out of luck. Pizza is gross with too much cheese with onions inside.

現在は ' THE HOTEL YAKUSHIMA OCEAN ＆ FOREST ' と言う名前に変わってます。 敷地内に新館があって、波音日和と言う名前のランク上の別邸になっています。 縄文杉ツアーに参加予定でしたので、前泊に本館、後泊に波音日和を利用しました。 本館は眺望おまかせにしたので山側でしたが、その分リーズナブルでした。 波音日和は眼前に一面海が広がる素晴らしい部屋でした。縄文杉ツアーで疲労困憊した体には、海を眺めながらバスタブに浸かるのが最高の癒しでした。 前泊と後泊のギャップが凄くありましたが、メリハリがあってかえって良かったです。
