Ryokan Umeya

I stayed here on a business trip.It’s a route I usually take, but I hadn’t noticed this place before.The Onsen is in an annex, and guests can reach it from the main building via a connecting corridor.They also seem to offer day-use bathing, with a separate entrance for the general public.There are three baths at different temperatures and a cooling/rest area, so I could relax and take my time.I’d like to stay here again.

With a price of about 10,000 yen for one night with two meals, I didn't expect much aside from the onsen, but the food was outstanding. Dinner featured a kaiseki meal using local ingredients, and breakfast was a quintessential Japanese-style meal with generous portions that left me very satisfied. The resident cat Chun-Chun seemed to be on an extended journey, while the second-generation kittens were in their cage, nervously trying to overcome their shyness. It was an accommodation where time flowed slowly, allowing for complete relaxation.
