Asaya Hotel

Well, looks like I've finally grown enough to write a review. Huge Hotel Asaya, with an "American-style system" where everything is available inside the hotel but for a fee. There are rooms with their own rotenburo. 3 different onsen areas — on the roof, on the 1st floor of one building, and on B1 of another building. Let me start with what I didn't like. On the roof (13th floor) it's beautiful of course, but the water... it really smells like chlorine. For me it was literally unbearable. Everything costs extra, even playing pool. I don't like that. Something unusual for me — this is a really family-friendly onsen. The baths have accessories for kids: seats, little boats, that sort of thing. The onsens on the lower floors are better. No smell, there's a rotenburo with a small window. I liked that each onsen area has a common room where you can hang out before heading back to your room. The water is clear but has an effect on the skin — oily. For families this is definitely a top choice. But as a seasoned onsen veteran, it's just meh. Nice views though.
