Narashino-no-sato Gyokusui

Although it is located in a place that is hard to reach without navigation—after driving quite a while up a narrow uphill road from the national highway—once you step onto the property, you immediately feel like you are at an Izu Onsen. The sound of wind chimes in the lobby eased half of my driving fatigue, and while the large public bath and open-air bath were of course wonderful, the indoor bath in the Room was exceptional and completely melted away my tiredness. The bathtub, water volume, and water temperature were all perfect. Another highlight you can’t experience in a city apartment was the sheer amount and power of hot water from the shower—it was impressive. Dinner featured an excellent salt-grilled ayu and lava-grilled beef, along with a variety of dishes served on many different plates that were fun to look at. And the rice was delicious.

We stayed here to celebrate my husband’s birthday, as he loves Onsen. They picked us up at Izu-Atagawa Station, and noticing that my husband had difficulty going up and down stairs, they kindly drove us around to an entrance where we could enter the Accommodation without climbing the stone steps.The semi-open-air bath in our Room was also fed directly from the source, and we thoroughly enjoyed plenty of hot water. A bathrobe was provided as well, which we were very happy about.At the large public bath, both towels and bath towels were available, and there was even a small pouch you can use when going to the dining area—overall, we felt their attention to detail was excellent.The meals were served at just the right pace, and everything remained delicious through to the end.As a birthday surprise, they took photos of us during dinner and gifted them to us in a photo frame—thank you very much. The photo included the date and a comment, making it a wonderful keepsake.This is an Accommodation we were truly satisfied with and would definitely like to visit again.
