My father, my husband, and I stayed in two Rooms. All of the staff were polite, friendly, and welcoming with warm smiles, and their service made us feel truly comfortable. The Accommodation itself was wonderful as well—being able to take the complimentary drinks from the first-floor lounge back to our Room, along with thoughtful touches like cold water after the bath, made the attentive service especially impressive. The baths were excellent too. Since they alternate between men and women, we could enjoy different baths on both the day we arrived and the next day, which added to the experience. The food was also delicious. We heard that a group would be staying there and worried it might be noisy, but we were seated in a separate area like a private room, so we could enjoy our meal peacefully and at a relaxed pace. If I may make one request: during the breakfast buffet, it would be very helpful to have small push carts that can hold trays. I imagine there are quite a few guests with weaker legs or backs who would appreciate this as well—though I understand it might get in the way in narrow aisles. Thank you very much for a wonderful one-night stay. We would love to visit again if we have another opportunity.

From 3 PM, we enjoyed a relaxing time at the lounge with alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and snacks. Dinner included free drinks, and the buffet offered a variety of dishes that were satisfying. We could also enjoy alcoholic beverages and soft drinks at the lounge until 11 PM.

The building, Room interiors, and furnishings are all exceptional. It was an unparalleled experience to touch and admire artistic plates and pitchers while enjoying a drink, as if viewing them through glass. The price is indeed in the high range, but it was absolutely worth it. The cuisine was also outstanding. The staff's deep knowledge of art and philosophy was truly inspiring and educational. Although I just returned, I already feel like visiting again. The Facility, including its location, is excellent. Highly recommended for those who love folk crafts. Thank you very much!
