Hotaru to Kajika no Yado Ryokan Kokonoe

In early June, we stayed at Kuju-san in search of fireflies. Dinner at this Accommodation was amazing! Freshly cooked, steaming rice was served with a smile at just the right times as our meal progressed, and we could really feel their thoughtful hospitality. The portions were so generous we thought we couldn’t finish, but we ate almost everything!! Even the staff were surprised!!! After dinner, the fireflies welcomed us with a jewel-like sparkle—an unforgettable natural spectacle that made us forget everyday life. Truly moving, again and again... When we asked the staff for advice about our trip the next day, they kindly offered helpful suggestions, making it a memorable journey. This was an Accommodation that is truly kind to travelers. Sorry for the late note of thanks—thank you very much to everyone for taking such good care of us.

I was worried because several nearby Accommodations and shops had closed down, but they did their very best to welcome us. All the staff were polite and greeted us with smiles, which made a great impression. We were also able to charge our EV. If I had been able to take more walks around the area, I might have discovered even more—there were some charming spots. I’d like to visit again.
