Obama-onsen Hamakan Hotel

“Room size is big”

We were checking in late around 11:15pm without notice. The onsen should be closed at 11:30, but it opens it for us until 1am. It was so touching, as we were so tired and a relaxing onsen is what we need. The room size is very big but a bit wired. It used to be a Japaness style taitaimi room, but i… lisää

It was so touching, as we were so tired and a relaxing onsen is what we need. The room size is very big but a bit wired. It used to be a Japaness style taitaimi room, but it change to western style room. The room also has humidifier and foot massage machine. The breakfast served until 9:30am.

“old place but perfect”

They have all details that you might need written on big cards in English. Room is very big. Nice varenda. However smell of smoke of cigarette. Amenities - ok. Wifi - ok The onsen is in next building so you need to pass via the reception area. Also this is old place but have big windows and if you in day time you can enjoy the view. We did not took breakfast so no comment. As it is very cheap and the target is onsen I believe it give best value

“A mixed experience”

My Japanese friend and I stayed here as the price was good 4,500 yen per night, it had an Onsen and we thought it was an easy ride to Unzen.

My Japanese friend and I stayed here as the price was good 4,500 yen per night, it had an Onsen and we thought it was an easy ride to Unzen. It was cheap, the Onsen was actually really good, but we found it difficult to drive to Unzen at night - very windy roads which were not marked very well, if at all. The room was tiny, but everything worked OK, and the view from the room was interesting. We made it onto the 6th floor viewing area for the sunset, and that was very pleasant, as the hotel overlooks the sea. The worst thing for me was the bed covers - I woke up freezing in the middle of the night, and an extra blanket I found didn't help much. The breakfast was just OK, with few choices. So, am mixed bag. Certainly worth a stay if on a budget, but if you can afford a better onsen, then I would go there!

“OK, some pluses, other minuses, better stay in Unzen”

Stayed here thinking it would be easy access to Unzen, which it was just barely. It's about a USD 10 and 20 minute one way distance with infrequent buses at times. If you have the money, I recommend you just stay in Unzen at one of the premier hotels there, though there are cheaper public options… lisää

Stayed here thinking it would be easy access to Unzen, which it was just barely. It's about a USD 10 and 20 minute one way distance with infrequent buses at times. If you have the money, I recommend you just stay in Unzen at one of the premier hotels there, though there are cheaper public options, if you look hard enough. If you're the backpacker type try out the Tsudoi in Unzen, which has clean looking bunk beds for about USD 35. The room at the Hamakan was typical Japanese business hotel style, small but clean and nothing bad. Worst was lack of restaurants in the town which forced me to one of the three hotel restaurants, one of the dirtiest i've seen in Japan, though I didn't get sick! The "French" restaurant looked dubious and very expensive Not easy to navigate these restaurants if you don't speak Japanese, which I do. The bath itself was fine. The breakfast was not at all bad, not the best I've had in Japan but not too shabby either, and served be a very nice woman who made sure I tried her soup. All in all, think hard before you say here. Check out the options.
