Hagoromo Hotel

We stayed with my grandparents and uncle to celebrate my grandparents’ 90th birthday. They were delighted to receive a pair of matching chopsticks as a gift. During the meal, my grandfather accidentally bumped his hand while serving one dish and spilled everything, causing trouble; we were very grateful that it was kindly prepared again. Most of the staff were non-Japanese except for the proprietress. At times we weren’t sure if we were fully understood, but everyone was very kind and we had a comfortable stay.

A historic, Showa-era retro Accommodation where members of the imperial family, movie stars, politicians, athletes, and other notable guests once stayed. A Nepalese attendant provides heartfelt hospitality—more Japanese than Japanese—from welcome to dinner and breakfast service through to farewell. A two-room Room with a cypress bath and a beautifully maintained garden. Each dish is prepared with great care; the abalone and sakura shrimp sashimi in particular are as vibrant as they are delicious. The Hotel is located at Miho no Matsubara, and after breakfast we enjoyed a relaxed walk of about two hours to Hagoromo no Matsu, Kamagasaki, Kami no Michi, Miho Shrine, and Mihoshirube.
