Le Kasugai Hotel est un onsen trois étoiles – amplement méritées. Le lieu est confortable, douillet et serein. Fréquenté par les Japonais eux-mêmes, il illustre à merveille l’art de vivre nippon. Les chambres traditionnelles où l’on marche sur les tatamis s’apparentent à de véritables appartements privatifs. Service à thé, bouilloire, petit réfrigérateur, yukata, chaussettes, sandales, tout y est. À l’initiative du personnel de l’hôtel, les futons prennent la place de la table basse dans la soirée pour une nuit sereine. L’onsen lui-même est très bien agencé. Une occasion unique de découvrir les bains japonais. Bien que l’architecture extérieure soit moderne, tout respire l’authenticité. Seule exception à la règle, la copie inattendue de tableaux français dans la salle du petit déjeuner et dans le hall d’entrée. On quitte l’endroit avec regret.

“Quiet, low key, upscale hotel”

When I first arrived the hotel (on a Saturday) I did not see a single guest in the lobby level and for a while I wondered if I was the only person staying here until the dinner time. There was something unique about the hotel that made it super quiet and low key, that you would rarely see or hear others although they play music like many Japanese hotel so it doesn't feel deserted. This, plus the fact that the hotel is upscale, made me feel like a very special guest. I picked the western styled Twin Room. The benefit of this room is that it's on the high floors. Since this is one of the highest building in the region I got a very good view on the surrounding countryside and mountains. The room was spacious and while it was slightly old,felt upscale and comfy. The traffic around the hotel basically disappeared at night so it was very quiet. The food was also good. For dinner they offered something like Japanese fusion food, which is pretty rare in Japanese hotels. The staff was super nice and wrote multiple notes in English explaining things to me. I never stayed in a hotel in Japan that they will do it this far. They also had a all-you-can-eat dessert bar which was pretty tasty. On my second night the chef made a completely customized menu for me so I wouldn't eat the any of the same food again, which was also very cool. The breakfast buffet was slightly less impressive and was focused on Japanese options, but still a good one. The restaurant had huge windows looking at the garden outside, while they decorate nicely. The hot spring bath wasn't very big, but on my both nights of stay I mostly got them for myself as this is a truly quiet hotel. The only downside of this place is that there was little to do outside of hot spring bath. It's located in a quiet suburban residential area that can only be accessed by car or shuttle bus (which doesn't require reservation but has limited services). The hotel is a bit expensive so people expecting actions may not like it so much. But if you are looking for a quiet, slow and graceful stay, I think this hotel is a wonderful option. Note that there are other hotels with very similar names in this region. Read carefully before you book.

Le logement à la japonaise est spacieux et bien équipé (sanitaires inclus). Nuit au calme. Le diner était varié et copieux. Notre guide local a su préparer la soirée dans les moindres détails. Je recommande cet hôtel.

Located in a semi-rural area. Our room choice was a traditional Tatami room with Futon Mats at floor level which were prepared for sleeping while we were at dinner. The sleep comfort was surprisingly good, although those with mobility issues would have difficulty getting down and up. The room was large sized by Japanese standards, and could be divided by the beautiful paper screened, sliding doors. The Bathroom has a traditional Japanese sitting shower area and a separate bath. All the kit needed to take a bath in the Onsen, Hot springs is also provided. A Good breakfast was included with a large variety of both Japanese and Western foods. Free bottled water was supplied in the room along with a 'Tea Ceremony' kit. The free WiFi worked at a reasonable speed. The room temperature was too hot for our liking with the a/c controlled remotely by hotel with no user adjustment. A personal safe was also in the room.
