I love the hotel. Tsukino is an interesting and successful synthesis of traditional ryokan atmosphere with modern facilities. While my room comes with TV, fridge, western-style couch, a king sized bed, and a modern bathroom, the rest of the decoration is Japanese in style. The room also comes with a tube in the balcony. The balcony faces a very steep hill with dense foliage around 40 feet away. Thus I was able to take my baths in open air with ensured privacy. The 6th floor of the hotel offers one public onsen for men, one public onsen for women. For folks who are not used to bathing in public, the hotel also offers 2 private onsens on first come first serve basis. For those who have not done onsen before, I recommend limiting the first few onsen sessions to no more than 10 minutes. Beyond 10 minutes, the gas that comes with the hot spring water may make you light-headed.
The dinner, that is included with the room, is a 4 course extravaganza. The first course is a combination of vegetables, eggs, and pickled vegetables. The second course is sashimi. The main course is your choice of beef shabu shabu or seafood shabu shabu. The final course is some simple Japanese deserts. The dinner also comes with free drinks for up to 70 minutes.
For snacks, the hotel supplies each room with 4 cookies and 2 bottles of water each day. There is a cappuccino machine in the lobby. The hotel also offers freshly made ramen noodles at the restaurant every night around 10:30 pm.
