Thank you for taking care of our family of four for one night and two days. One of us was delayed due to work and might not have made it in time for dinner. When we informed the staff, they kindly changed our dining Room and made various thoughtful arrangements so that even if we arrived late, we could relax without rushing. We were in a difficult situation, and I was truly moved by your deep hospitality. I asked for their name, but they said, “We all do this together...” To Mr./Ms. K-sawa and all the staff members at the dinner venue, thank you very much for everything. I was deeply impressed. We will come again. Thank you so much!!

I was impressed by the staff’s thoughtful, unobtrusive hospitality. The meals featured plenty of wild mountain vegetables and local ingredients, and I was very satisfied with the careful preparation. They were wonderful dishes you can’t experience in the city. We also used the private bath, which I highly recommend. It was just the right size and temperature, and it was comforting that the changing area had tatami mats. This is a memorable Accommodation I would love to stay at again.

This was a thoroughly satisfying stay in every way. Right after arriving, we were captivated by the beautiful song of Japanese bush warblers. After entering our Room, we enjoyed the large public bath and open-air bath until dinner; the Onsen water was wonderfully clear, odorless, and tasteless with an excellent quality. Dinner featured a wide variety of dishes using many local ingredients—especially the apple gratin, which was surprisingly delicious. After sleeping soundly, we enjoyed morning bathing at four different spots to fully savor the Onsen, and breakfast also offered many options—so tasty that we ate a bit too much. Conversation with the proprietress was delightful, making it a truly enjoyable trip. This Accommodation is highly recommended for those who want to take their time enjoying the baths and meals.

The owner of the Accommodation seems deeply devoted to the Onsen and handed me an Onsen analysis sheet at the front desk—something I’d never experienced before. The main rock bath had a wonderful atmosphere and there were three tubs, but all of them were too hot for me to soak in. I barely managed to get into the deep bath at the front for about 10 seconds a few times. I understand the desire for guests to enjoy the free-flowing natural hot spring water, but it was a bit intense for me. On the other hand, I really enjoyed the smaller gourd-shaped bath and went in three times. The meals were modest but more than enough, and especially the soba was delicious. The toilet in my Room was modern and comfortable. The building is very spacious and must be difficult to maintain, but I hope they will continue doing well for many years to come.
