Iwaki Yumoto Onsen × Akomodasi Menikmati Cita Rasa Musim GugurFasilitas dan peralatan yang dinilai tinggi di Hotel·penginapan gaya Jepang

Because I rarely have the chance to travel with family or close friends, I usually travel alone. Soaking in the Onsen helps me clear my mind. Enjoying delicious food is a true happiness. What’s more, Shin Tsuta brings me peace, so I return again and again. This is very important to me. The sense of calm and fulfillment I feel is thanks to the warmth and character of each and every member of your staff. That calm and fulfillment also makes me feel as if it restores my purity. When I get home, I already want to go back to Shin Tsuta—like when I was young, after seeing my sweetheart and returning to the dormitory, I immediately wanted to see them again.

I wanted to get away from my everyday routine and focus on work, so I stayed here for a 2-night, 3-day workcation (1 dinner and 2 breakfasts). Both breakfast and dinner were delicious. For someone like me who enjoys meals with rice, there were so many dishes that I couldn’t finish everything in one bowl. It felt thoughtfully planned for guests who want to enjoy the main and side dishes as well. I could really sense the care behind the meals—consideration for both those who drink alcohol and those who don’t—and it left a warm impression. The Sendai beef at dinner was restaurant-quality (sorry if that sounds rude). The local nanbanzuke-style mehikari was also great, but the black sesame tofu at breakfast was especially delicious. The desserts were also very elaborate—I was impressed. The hot spring isn’t large, but it’s clean and well maintained, more than enough to enjoy free-flowing natural hot spring water. I also appreciated having a high-quality hair dryer available. Being able to use the hot spring even late at night must be a big burden for the staff, but as a guest it was wonderful not having to worry about time. The room was clean, spacious, and very satisfying. The TV was large and positioned perfectly for easy viewing—I could feel how much thought had gone into guest comfort. The staff’s hospitality was polite and high quality; it made me want to be an equally considerate guest in return. This is definitely a hotel I’d love to visit again.

I stayed here to enjoy the Onsen, and all three baths in the building were excellent. The open-air bath in the sky was especially refreshing—I could have stayed in it forever. Each of the three baths had both hot and lukewarm tubs, so I could choose what I liked. Since it was a weekday after the Obon holidays, it wasn’t crowded and I was able to truly relax. As a solo traveler, my Room was a single Room like you’d find at a Business Hotel, but that’s what I expected, so it wasn’t an issue. The Onsen Shrine just a 1-minute walk from the Hotel was also quiet and became one of my favorite spots (you can pray for safe bathing). There are footbaths inside the station, in front of the station, and around town as well—Furutakiya is an outstanding Accommodation as a base for Yumoto, an Onsen town. Although I booked a Plan without meals, I had dinner at the dining venue “Tsudaya” on the second floor. The seafood rice bowl was delicious, and their à la carte dishes also looked great.
