After reluctantly leaving Kusasenri Beach, we checked into Aso Resort Grandvrio Hotel. This hot spring hotel is located on a quiet mountain, with beautiful, pleasant scenery. The moment we arrived, we fully switched into vacation mode.
A large, smiling Kumamon sign welcomed us in the lobby. Instead of lavish, elaborate decor, it has a clean, simple style. The scenery outside the hotel is beautiful and lush, perfect for a walk or hike. The on-site golf course is also great for guests who enjoy golf.
Opening the floor-to-ceiling window in our room revealed a picturesque view. There are large public baths in both the main building and annex, and all guests can enjoy the natural Komezuka Onsen. Weary travelers can temporarily forget their fatigue and worries and immerse themselves in nature. It was truly relaxing!
Dinner was a seafood buffet with fresh sashimi and plenty of snow crab legs. Seafood lovers will definitely eat to their heart's content! At night, the chirping of insects lulls you to sleep. Such a blissful feeling!
