Shuzenji Hanare Yado Oni no Sumika

The front desk staff were very pleasant, and their explanation of the Room was clear and helpful. The Room and the open-air bath had a wonderful atmosphere, making it a relaxing and calming day. This has become my favorite Accommodation, and I’d love to come back for another leisurely stay!

The open-air bath in the garden Room was charming and wonderful. The Room seems to have been beautifully renovated to suit modern times while preserving a good old Japanese atmosphere. At night, we heard a chorus of frogs, and in the morning, birdsong—it felt like the first time I’d heard them in decades, and it was truly lovely. That said, the frogs can be quite loud and continue late into the night, so some guests may find it bothersome. The cuisine also appeared thoughtfully crafted to be enjoyable to look at as well. Our sightseeing plans were canceled due to rain and we arrived at the Ryokan a bit early, but you kindly showed us to our Room since it was ready—thank you very much. All of the staff greeted us with smiles. Thank you as well for seeing us off until our car departed.
