Jozankei Onsen Yurakusoan Hotel (定山溪悠楽草庵) , soaking in the hot springs in the heavy snow

We went to Jozankei Onsen Hotel with a happy mood. As soon as we got off the car, we were soothed by the beautiful scenery and enthusiastic staff. This is a great hotel! I was in a good mood~~ Before we got off the car, someone came with a cart to help us pick up our luggage. It was snowing heavily outside, so we hurried into the store. We took off our shoes before entering the store. There was a small drawer with a lock to store shoes. The store was all tatami, so we didn't need to wear shoes. There were disposable socks in the room. When we checked in, the front desk was very polite and gave us a guide map. Here are some things to note for everyone‼ ️
