  • This was our first trip as a couple, and we made a Reservation to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Since we’re not very experienced travelers, we were nervous at first, but the Ryokan staff were so kind and friendly that our worries quickly disappeared. I’m not usually comfortable with open-air baths, but I worked up the courage to try—and it was truly relaxing and soothing. The changing area was clean and easy to use as well. And the meals we had been looking forward to exceeded all expectations—I was genuinely satisfied from the bottom of my heart! Everything was delicious. There was venison tataki, which I wasn’t sure about at first, but it had no strong taste at all and was truly wonderful. Our attendant explained each dish carefully, which helped us appreciate the ingredients even more—thank you so much. What made us even happier was that they took photos for our anniversary and gave them to us as a gift when we left. The handwritten letter from the proprietress also deeply moved me. This is the first time my heart has felt this full—just like my stomach! We are filled with gratitude for everyone’s thoughtfulness, kindness, and warm support. We will definitely come back again! Thank you very much for everything.

  • I stayed here with my older sister and brother as three siblings. The Yoshino specialty kudzu cuisine for dinner was exceptionally delicious, and each dish was carefully prepared—everyone was very satisfied, and my brother seemed to enjoy his drinks even more than usual. The young attendant who served our dinner provided outstanding hospitality, making our time truly comfortable. We didn’t have enough time on this trip to visit the nearby shrines or local restaurants, but we would definitely like to go next time. Both my sister and brother really took a liking to this Accommodation, and as the one who organized the trip, I felt proud as well. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
