Daejeon Station × Zen-Inspired AccommodationHighly rated facilities at Hotel·Ryokan

I had heard this Ryokan was known for its delicious meals, and I was really looking forward to it—and the food absolutely lived up to my expectations. The asparagus tofu and steamed white rice were especially wonderful; even though I was already full, I couldn’t help but ask for another serving. When I asked for water while enjoying sake, the attendant kindly brought a whole pitcher, which I truly appreciated. It must have been heavy—thank you very much. Their thoughtful hospitality also stood out in other ways, such as preparing both tea and water not only during the meal but again before bedtime. At one point we had to Cancel the Reservation for the private family bath because our timing didn’t work out, but when we were heading out, a staff member let us know that a slot had opened up and asked if we’d like it. Thanks to that, we were able to use it after all, which made me very happy. The onsen manju provided in our Room surprised me with how delicious it was when I tried it after returning home. I slightly regret not buying some as souvenirs. The only small concern was that one older male staff member came across as a bit brusque at times, but overall it was a wonderful Ryokan where we could relax comfortably. I would definitely like to stay again.

Thank you again for taking such good care of us. With its excellent location beside the approach to the shrine and within walking distance of Izumo Taisha, along with the Facility lovingly restored from a charming building from days gone by and the wonderful hospitality of all the staff, we were able to spend a truly pleasant time. Even though we visit again at almost the same time each year, the meals are different every time—delicious dishes that highlight local production for local consumption and are also a delight to look at—and once again we finished everything. If I may make one small request: as I get older, it can be difficult to read in the dim, atmospheric lighting. It would be very helpful if you could provide a light stand (even as a loan item) so guests can read books more easily. We look forward to visiting again next year. Thank you very much.

This maisonette-style Accommodation has the living room and kitchen on the 2nd floor, with the bedroom, bathroom, and toilet on the 1st floor. In short, it was absolutely amazing! The Facility itself is new and very well cleaned, and all the kitchen features were very easy to use. It was more than spacious for two people, and we were impressed by how luxuriously we could enjoy the space. It’s a favorite place where we’d definitely like to stay again.
