LOOF Sannoie

The dog run is very spacious and pleasant. As soon as we arrived, my dog happily ran around, and I felt glad to have chosen this accommodation. It's an environment where dogs can relax freely, which naturally puts owners at ease as well. The traditional Japanese house has a calm atmosphere, allowing for a very peaceful stay. We enjoyed experiences like making miso and koji, as well as roasting rice crackers over the irori hearth—much more fun than expected! Roasting rice crackers over the irori was surprisingly challenging; adjusting the heat while slowly roasting them was a fresh experience. However, the rice crackers I made myself were far more delicious than I imagined. For dinner, we had an irori kaiseki meal prepared by the staff while we relaxed by watching the fire—a leisurely dining experience without any rush that allowed us to savor every bite. At night, we spent time by the bonfire without doing much of anything in particular. Just watching my dog relax nearby filled me with contentment. This is an accommodation that naturally makes you think, "I want to come back again."

A traditional Japanese house with a historical charm, where relaxing on the veranda and gazing at the garden was incredibly soothing. Dinner by the irori (sunken hearth) was a luxurious experience, as staff grilled each item right in front of us, making it feel like having a private chef. The pizza oven experience was also delightful. Stretching out the handmade dough prepared in advance and baking it resulted in an authentic pizza that tasted surprisingly delicious despite being made by ourselves! Grilling rice crackers over the irori was fun too—even though I slightly burned mine (laughs), it added to the enjoyment. The room was impeccably clean and comfortable, and before I knew it, I found myself thinking, "I don't want to leave..." It’s such a healing space that I can’t wait to visit this accommodation again.
