Makimuku Station × Recommended Accommodation for a Healing Solo TripHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath

I chose to stay here because of its charming atmosphere, and I was sure my husband would like it too. Before booking, I called to ask about the room amenities. The head chef handed the call over to a female staff member, but her tone felt a bit harsh, and for a moment I hesitated about staying. However, once we actually arrived, that impression completely changed. Everyone who assisted us during our stay was very warm and welcoming, with genuine hospitality, and there was nothing at all that concerned me. The property was spotless throughout, and the lounge was comfortable—I was able to relax at ease. Above all, the food was outstanding. Each dish was prepared with great care while considering harmony with soy sauce, and I could truly feel the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and passion behind the cooking. Although the dishes made excellent use of soy sauce flavors, they never left an overly salty aftertaste—even after finishing everything—and I enjoyed every bite until the end. Because dinner was so exceptional, I would have been even happier if breakfast had been a bit more substantial. Including not only the cuisine but also the atmosphere and overall comfort of the inn, it became a truly memorable stay. This is a place I would definitely like to return to.

I had long wanted to walk the Yamanobe-no-Michi trail, and I chose this Accommodation along the route because I was drawn to its medicinal cuisine. As a result, I felt wonderfully healed both physically and mentally! I gave one less star for the meals because breakfast felt a little lacking. Each item in the Room was lovely, and I also liked how each Room is designed around a small garden. I’ll never forget opening the door in the morning and being enveloped in the wonderful scent of herbs and greenery. If I have another chance, I’d love to visit again.
