Yamanakako Asahigaoka Onsen Hotel Seikei — Hotel in Yamanakako

One of the rooms was terribly stinky from cigarette smoke. It was impossible to sleep there, so we had to leave the windows open (in the middle of the winter) to air the room. Nowadays smoking should not be allowed in...

Only downside is the kettle that takes...
