Onsens around Tobira Onsen and Utsukushigahara Onsen × Accommodation With À La Carte DiningHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

True to its name as an Accommodation with Onsen, the hot springs left our skin silky smooth and helped us feel refreshed. The hospitality was also attentive, and thank you for making our stay so comfortable.

The Accommodation has a wonderful atmosphere and offers satisfaction that exceeds the price. At the entrance, there was a vending machine selling rare flash-frozen soba you can enjoy as if freshly made, as well as Matsumoto Sanzoku-yaki. They escorted me to my Room on the second floor and even carried my luggage. When I left, it was raining, but they lent me an umbrella and saw me off. Inside, the building has an extraordinary, getaway-like ambiance, with calming lights placed throughout the corridors and other areas. The toilets and washbasins are shared, but they are clean. There is also a large public bath with alternating hours for men and women, and if available, you can use a private bath at no extra charge. The water temperature is on the lukewarm side. Breakfast included many kinds of small side dishes, a large-nameko miso soup, and curry that was light yet flavorful; I heard it uses Indian spices. Next time, I’d like to try dinner as well.
