Enjoy a unique dining experience with main dishes such as Maezawa beef and abalone, choosing from seven options. Breakfast features a heartwarming countryside buffet. Relax in rooms with open-air baths, perfect for special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries. Additionally, rejuvenate with open-air baths amidst nature and private baths with post-bath lounges, offering seven different bathing experiences to soothe both mind and body.
I found this Facility on IKYU and liked it so much that I made a Reservation. Just as expected, I thoroughly enjoyed the Facility, the meals, and the Onsen (ceramic bath). During a conversation with the staff at dinner, we talked about Hachimantai’s Dragon Eye. They told me they had gone there after borrowing rental boots and that it was wonderful. So I went the next day right away. Like Zao Okama last year, I was moved by the breathtaking scenery. It was a truly great stay—enjoying both the magnificent nature and the delicious meals at the Facility. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us.
海流さん 5/25/2026During Golden Week, we stayed one night at this Accommodation while traveling around Tohoku.The Room was spacious, with a separate bedroom and living area, plus a washbasin area and toilet. Everything was clean and well maintained. The shared areas also offered plenty to enjoy outside the Room, including massage chairs, a reading space, and a footbath.Meals were served in a relaxing semi-private setting where we could take our time; both the presentation and taste were excellent.In particular, we were extremely satisfied with the breakfast buffet—it was outstanding.The baths also had various tubs, and there was even time when I could use them privately. In the rain, with cherry blossom petals drifting down, it felt like an atmospheric space.However, one disappointment was that although I had heard women could choose their yukata, the dresser was locked so this wasn’t possible.There was no explanation of usage hours at check-in either; I would have appreciated clear guidance posted in front of the dresser. That left me quite disappointed.
