Hatagoya Jozankei Shoten

I made a Reservation for a Plan that included all-you-can-drink, a seven-course meal, and a Room divided into three separate sleeping areas. The all-you-can-drink selection was extensive, and there were especially many great-looking sake options. You do need to go and get drinks yourself, but it was actually fun to choose, and since the Facility isn’t very large, it didn’t feel like a hassle. The yakiniku dinner was delicious, and it was also enjoyable to grill and season everything while reading the instructions. The bath wasn’t huge—just a standard Onsen—but it also had a sauna and an open-air bath. The Room’s sleeping spaces were partitioned off, which made it feel like a secret hideout. Both the breakfast curry and rice porridge were surprisingly delicious. Everything—from the meals to the Room—was excellent, and the staff were polite and attentive, making it a wonderful memory. I’d love to stay again.

Although it was originally a retreat facility, we love the staff’s hospitality, the meals, and the unhurried atmosphere, and we’ve made it our own getaway—staying here a few times each year. You can still feel traces of the past in places like the washbasin area and restrooms, but it’s not flashy and is wonderfully relaxing. Being able to enjoy some drinks and sleep soundly is the best. We’ll be back!
