Adatara no Yado Ogiya

Thank you for making my luxurious solo stay at the Ryokan even more special.Even though it was probably my last check-in, I was greeted by name as soon as I stepped inside, and you kindly accommodated a sudden change of plans.It’s rare to find a Room and bath so impeccably clean and well maintained.The meals were just the right amount and truly delicious.The courteous hospitality from everyone I interacted with perfectly matched the calm atmosphere of this Accommodation.It was such a wonderful Accommodation that I sincerely hope to return next time for a longer, more relaxed visit.

I decided on a last-minute trip to Fukushima the day before, and when I looked for a place to stay for one night, I was lucky to find this very affordable weekday Plan. Thank you as well for accepting a solo guest. Both dinner and breakfast were great, and all the staff were so warm and welcoming that I felt very comfortable. The meals weren’t extravagantly luxurious, but each dish felt carefully prepared. The egoma tofu was delicious. I also felt that the other dishes were probably not pre-made commercial items, but handmade by the head chef. Even the simmered dishes and simple side plates showed the chef’s care—I really appreciate that kind of cooking. It’s far better than food that is just flashy or unusual.The Onsen water is of course from Dake Onsen—free-flowing, slightly milky-looking, and wonderfully relaxing. The women’s bath had three tubs: a shallow square bath, a cute main bath shaped like a flower, and an open-air bath, which was very satisfying. I was impressed to learn it is cleaned every day; maintaining free-flowing baths must be hard work. You truly put care into even what guests don’t see. I was also surprised to see fresh flowers arranged at each Room entrance—it really conveyed your hospitality. Cleaning throughout was thorough as well, and my Room felt very pleasant...This was my third time visiting Dake Onsen—it’s such a wonderful hot spring area—so I hope each Accommodation continues to make the most of its own character and keeps up the good work. The only disappointing point is that access by public transportation isn’t very convenient: because bus times between Nihonmatsu Station and Dake Onsen don’t match train schedules, depending on the bus you may end up waiting about 50 minutes at the station. It would be great if access were smoother. I didn’t see any inbound travelers, so perhaps you haven’t benefited much from them yet—but please keep it up. I will visit again.
