Yōka Station × Accommodation With Relaxing Welcome LoungeHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

We arrived in the evening and chose the plan with two meals included. The only convenience store within walking distance is a Lawson about 10–15 minutes away. Since you have to cross a national highway at night, it feels far. We were glad we added meals. The carefully prepared dishes were unique both to look at and to taste, and we really enjoyed them. I definitely recommend adding meals. We went early in the morning to Ritsuunkyo, came back for breakfast, rested in our Room, and then hiked up Takeda Castle; being able to take breaks along the way was great. This is a recommended Accommodation. Since it is an old traditional house Hotel, I would not recommend it to those who cannot enjoy an older building or who expect perfect Facilities.

On the way back from Kinosaki Onsen, I stayed overnight as I am not comfortable driving at night. The Hotel seems new and clean. It is convenient with a roadside station and a convenience store nearby. The room appears to have a foreign-style design, with hangers placed at a high position. It might be slightly inconvenient for shorter individuals. Overall, it was a comfortable Hotel to stay in.

The Room was clean and well maintained. The bed height and firmness were perfect for me. There was only a shower, but it was an overhead-style shower and felt great. However, the adjacent Onsen Facility was unavailable that day due to a mechanical issue, which was disappointing. So I’d rate the bath 3 stars. I think this is a Hotel I’d be happy to stay at for a Multiple Night Stay.

This Accommodation was the main purpose of our trip. From the front desk, it’s a stylish space. There is a restroom and bath on the first floor, and a living room, kitchen, and bedroom on the second floor. When you enter the Room, the entryway is filled with a lovely aroma scent. The overall design—wood with gray, green, and navy tones—was very calming. The pillars, beams, and window glass make use of older materials while everything still feels beautifully designed! Thoughtful details like linen cloths, incredibly comfortable pajamas for sleeping, and delicious coffee were also outstanding. It seems difficult to cook elaborate meals in the kitchen, but you can prepare simple dishes. There is also a supermarket nearby. We went to a nearby Italian trattoria (Trattoria OB) on the first night, then made an easy meal on the second night and enjoyed wine at a relaxed pace. We had seen Reviews mentioning insects might appear, but perhaps because of the season we didn’t encounter any. You can also use the lounge at their affiliated Hotel “Toyooka 1925.” We used it three times; it wasn’t crowded and we could relax comfortably each time. “Toyooka 1925” is also a stylish space. We were able to spend slow time without using TV or internet—it was two very satisfying days for us.
