Saginoyu Inn

I stayed here the night before my first visit to the Adachi Museum of Art. When I arrived at the Hotel and parked, a staff member came out to greet me at the entrance and casually offered to carry my luggage—I was impressed right away. Then, while enjoying a coffee, I checked in and received an explanation of the facilities. Everything felt comfortable and never overbearing. When I was looking at the large koi in the garden, they even kindly gave me some feed as well... The Room was on the first floor with a private open-air bath. Since I wanted to use it before dinner, I went in right away while looking out over the beautifully maintained garden. Dinner was served in a private dining room with a full view of the garden, and I could tell they were thoughtfully timing each dish to match my pace. From greeting me on arrival through dinner service, one male staff member took care of everything; he kindly shared various information about Shimane and about Saginoyu-so (such as swans and fireflies), making it a very enjoyable meal (I regret that I forgot to ask his name). The next morning, I enjoyed another bath before breakfast, then had breakfast in the large hall—the overnight-dried fish was delicious as well. For my main目的—the Adachi Museum of Art—there is an Accommodation guest benefit that allows entry from 8:30 a.m., so I visited after checking out. Being able to enter early let me fully enjoy photographing and viewing the gardenscapes, paintings, and artworks at my leisure. However, around 9:30 a.m., several tour buses arrived one after another, and it quickly became crowded with many people. In closing, staying at Saginoyu-so was truly comfortable. It has become an Accommodation I would love to visit again—perhaps during firefly season next time.
