  • I visited again for the first time in six years, and I was happy that my details had been noted in the guest register. It was a different Room from last time, but it was clean and wonderful again. The locally sourced dinner—vegetables, meat, and salt-grilled sweetfish—was all truly delicious, and the medicinal hot pot left both body and mind feeling refreshed. Many guests seem to be repeat visitors; everyone followed good manners and we were able to spend our time quietly again. The level of interaction with the staff felt just right as well. This Accommodation is perfect for escaping the stresses of everyday life!

  • We stayed to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The staff were pleasant and helpful, and we were satisfied with both the Room and the meals. (For elderly guests, the portion sizes may be a bit large.) The only disappointment was the pillows. I’m sensitive about pillows, so it was unfortunate that there was only one firm option with no alternatives. The staff greeted us with smiles throughout our stay, and we left the Accommodation feeling very comfortable.
