Kasugai isn’t that remarkable a place, but there aren’t many places worth going to in Yamanashi. It has a hot spring and a buffet, so I picked it as a reasonable option.

This kind of place

The interior is a bit dated, but it’s just for one night anyway.

This kind of place

Just ordinary.

Inside

An ordinary hotel of the kind you’d find anywhere.

The room

Decent enough.

Food

As I get older, I’ve come to like buffets.

First round..

Started out modestly.

All kinds of dishes

Dishes

Decent.

Gyoza

Snow crab

The crab is all-you-can-eat. Big eaters were putting away an incredible amount, but I had a modest six or so.. It tasted great though..

Fruit

Chicken and such

Maguro

Tastes pretty good.

There’s hoto too..

Kushiyaki

So delicious. It was so good I ended up eating way too much.

Rice vending machine

This was kind of neat. Press the button and rice drops out for as long as you hold it.

Anyway, I ate really well, and a lot. With the all-you-can-eat snow crab, the buffet here is very satisfying. On top of that, the hot spring was nice and warm.. If a hotel has a hot spring and snow crab, I figure it’s probably good enough.
