On August 12th of this year, we held our wedding ceremony at Izumo Taisha Shrine and booked a stay at Tamatsukuri Onsen to commemorate the occasion online. When we arrived, we were surprised by the level of deterioration of the facilities, which is unheard of these days. It looked like an abandoned building. The front desk and entrance had a dark and damp atmosphere, and the room where we were given our room key had a low door, and when we entered, the bathroom was exposed, and next to it was a dresser? It was full of Showa-era vibes.... We passed through there and went to the room, which was a tatami room of about 20 tatami mats, and it was filled with a moldy smell. The cause of this was a fake air conditioner that was breaking down...the smell was coming from there. The dresser where we hung our clothes also smelled moldy...and there were dozens of unused chairs stuffed into it. It was so bad that it was hard to imagine that this room had been used as a guest room for a while. When my husband sat down on the chair, there was a cracking sound and the chair broke... The handle of the sliding door was also removed, and the wallpaper in the bathroom was peeling off. Above all, the air in the whole room smelled of mold, which made me feel bad. To change my mood, I headed to the large public bath. The large public bath was also bleak, and hair dryers and amenities were scattered around in a mess. There was a small lizard stuck to the glass in the dressing room, and I screamed. When I went to the open-air bath, the water felt slippery and strange. I like hot springs, but I felt sick and got out early. When I returned to the room, the smell of mold was still the same... It was raining heavily that day, so I couldn't open the window, and my husband and I put on masks and went to bed to avoid inhaling mold as much as possible. I was tired from the wedding ceremony, so I was shocked at how bad it was, and I slept lightly until morning and couldn't get rid of my fatigue at all. Since breakfast was included, I went to the venue, and there were about 20 guests other than us. However, there were no other guests in the building where we were shown to, so we were probably crammed into a building that is not usually used. Breakfast was all frozen food and tasted terrible no matter what I ate. I was so tired from the night before that I had no appetite. Looking at the website, the rooms and the large public bath were very nice, but to pay 14,000 yen per person for a hot spring inn like this seems like a rip-off. I will never stay at a hot spring inn like this again, and I hope that those who are considering booking in the future do not have the same terrible experience as us. That is why I posted this review.
