Iwasawa Station × Nature Experience AccommodationHighly rated for rooms and amenities at Hotel·Ryokan

The carefully prepared, healthy cuisine, the clean and stylish Room, the luxurious amenities, and the bath where you can soak while listening to the gentle murmur of the river—everything was deeply satisfying and made for a truly wonderful stay. What left the strongest impression was the hospitality of all the staff. There were several international staff members as well, and seeing them serve guests earnestly in Japanese and make an effort to embrace Japanese culture was heartwarming and put me at ease. This is an Accommodation I would love to visit again. Thank you very much for such a wonderful time.

For dinner, we chose the luxurious full-course Maezawa beef option. Every dish was absolutely delicious, but the portions were honestly too large for us (next time, the standard Plan will be more than enough). The open-air bath in our Room and the open-air bath at the large public bath were both excellent. From check-in to departure, the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout—this is a wonderful Onsen Ryokan that makes you want to come back.

I think this is an Accommodation with a very high overall level of satisfaction. It was my first stay in a while since COVID, and I got the impression that you have been making great efforts, including with the meals. The large public bath is by far the best in the prefecture. These days, it’s disappointing that many Accommodations don’t allow bathing until after 3:00 PM even during a Multiple Night Stay, but Shidotaira allows bathing except during cleaning hours, which is very helpful. During my stay, I made a Reservation for three consecutive nights in August. Also, it seems your address has not been updated, so if possible, please update it. I’m looking forward to next month.
