Shogawa Onsen Furuamidou Zashiki Yumetsuzuri

We stayed here a few years ago, and returned again because my husband said he “definitely wants to come back.” The welcome sweets—warabi mochi—were so delicious that we bought some as souvenirs. The tatami flooring in the corridors and even inside the elevator was very comfortable, and the open-air bath felt like soaking right in a Japanese garden. Dinner was excellent; we asked for a smaller portion, but it was more than enough. The Room was spacious, and the sunlit table by the window being a sunken kotatsu made it especially relaxing.Many Accommodations ask guests to bring towels from their Room to the public bath, so being able to go empty-handed felt wonderful. Breakfast was also very tasty. We had planned to leave at a leisurely pace, but there were thunderstorms and heavy rain from midnight onward, and we ended up driving for two hours through an intense rain band on our way home. Afterward we saw news about flooding, and we’re worried whether there was any damage to the Hotel or surrounding area.We’re already talking about coming again during apple season. Thank you very much—everything was truly delicious.

My father, my husband, and I stayed in two Rooms.All of the staff were polite, friendly, and welcoming with warm smiles, and their service made us feel truly comfortable.The Accommodation itself was wonderful as well—being able to take the complimentary drinks from the first-floor lounge back to our Room, along with thoughtful touches like cold water after the bath, made the attentive service especially impressive.The baths were excellent too. Since they alternate between men and women, we could enjoy different baths on both the day we arrived and the next day, which added to the experience.The food was also delicious. We heard that a group would be staying there and worried it might be noisy, but we were seated in a separate area like a private room, so we could enjoy our meal peacefully and at a relaxed pace.If I may make one request: during the breakfast buffet, it would be very helpful to have small push carts that can hold trays. I imagine there are quite a few guests with weaker legs or backs who would appreciate this as well—though I understand it might get in the way in narrow aisles.Thank you very much for a wonderful one-night stay. We would love to visit again if we have another opportunity.
