Furuichi Station (Hyōgo) × Accommodation With Relaxing Welcome LoungeHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan

I happened to find this property on IKYU and visited looking forward to the meals, and it met my expectations.\nAfter check-in, we enjoyed tea and sweets in the lobby. Drinks throughout the property are all-inclusive—soft drinks, beer, and more—so you can have them whenever you like. The Room was clean, quiet, and very relaxing.\nDinner was a semi-order buffet. Every dish was creative and delicious, and we were very satisfied; however, by the time we worked our way through everything, the portions felt a bit too much for us seniors, so not being able to finish the final dessert was our only regret. Breakfast was also excellent, with freshly fried tempura prepared on the spot.\nThe only reason I rated the guest Room 4 stars is that there was nowhere to place luggage except for the table in the table-and-chair set; once we spread out our bags, there was no space left to set down drinks. Even a foldable luggage rack would have been appreciated (honestly, it’s more like minus 0.5).\nThis time it rained continuously so we didn’t explore the town; I’d like to visit again for strolling around and enjoying the food.

We visited as a group of four—my grandparents, my mother, and me—to celebrate my grandmother’s 80th birthday. My grandparents love traveling and have visited many places around the world, including Japan, but they said this experience was truly exceptional. In particular, the concierge who assisted us was wonderful—thank you very much for your thoughtful care and attention. Dinner at the Italian restaurant SEME was also a fantastic experience; both the owner’s warm personality and the food were outstanding. Next time, we would love to visit again with my father as well, who couldn’t join us this time. It was a truly wonderful one-night, two-day stay. Thank you very much.
