Around Nasu Alpaca Farm × Stays Popular For SunsetsHot springHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

The view from the room was amazing. (The windows were so large that a lot of sunlight came in, so even in October it was hot and we turned on the air conditioning.) The open-air bath was spacious, and we could really relax. We also appreciated the complimentary ice pops and fruit vinegar after bathing! The food was delicious, and we especially liked the broth in the matsutake mushroom and pike conger eel dobin-mushi. The beef cooked on a ceramic plate was a bit tough for my 84-year-old mother (we should have taken it off a little earlier). The staff’s polite service was also very pleasant. If I had to mention one downside, it would be that there wasn’t a beer vending machine.

We stayed as a three-generation family of six. Since it was the Obon holiday period, we expected crowds everywhere, but unlike a Hotel, it was much quieter than we imagined and we were able to relax and enjoy a truly wonderful time. The interior has high ceilings and feels very open, and it was spacious enough for six adults to stay comfortably. Because of the typhoon, it got so chilly at night that we turned on the heater, but the air conditioning worked well and kept us comfortable. The Onsen was also delightful, and the beautiful greenery visible from the window was very soothing. This time we ate out for dinner, but next time we’d like to use the hot plate and enjoy cooking together indoors. (One of us doesn’t like insects, so we’re glad we didn’t do a terrace BBQ. There were no bugs inside.) We also really appreciated having a washing machine (with dryer function) and detergent provided—it was extremely helpful when we suddenly needed to do laundry. Our parents were very happy as well and are already saying they want to come again, so we would love to visit again. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay!!
