전국 × 미소 요리를 즐길 수 있는 숙소만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸 - 136페이지

Although most of the staff are from overseas, I was impressed by how polite and hardworking they were. They are also studying Japanese and are very kind. This is an Accommodation I would like to stay at again.

Good Points: - The building is well-constructed, so noise from neighbors or upstairs was hardly noticeable. - The staff paid attention to details, which was greatly appreciated. - The Room was odorless and clean. - Wi-Fi worked properly. - My request for a low pillow was accommodated perfectly. Areas for Improvement: - All the towels seemed to have an oily film and did not absorb water as well as new towels would. A fellow guest at the bath also mentioned that they had never encountered towels with such poor absorbency before. - The mirror was folded inside the closet, and I only noticed it at checkout when I wanted to use it. It would be helpful if it were placed in a more noticeable location.

Shuttle service from the pier to the accommodation was provided! The stay included two meals, and dinner was served at an on-site izakaya with warm, local dishes. Just when I thought it would end with fish, a pork fillet steak was also served, which was very satisfying! It was a bit disappointing that I didn’t check if the shared bath allowed morning showers. I also enjoyed local sake, making it a very pleasant accommodation experience.

We stayed in a Japanese-style Room for 3 people. It was spacious enough and very relaxing. The large public bath was also great.

With fewer guests, I was able to enjoy a relaxing soak in the lukewarm radium Onsen. Meals were served at the restaurant, likely due to the large number of day-trip group visitors. While some dishes, like the okra tempura, were a bit too hard, overall they were delicious. We chose a slightly small Japanese-style room for our stay; however, my elderly mother would have appreciated having a chair. Although there were moments where staff shortages seemed apparent, our requests were accommodated and we had an overall satisfying stay at this accommodation.

We stayed one night (room only) in the premium two-story unit with a private dog run, with two dogs (one small and one medium). The interior was clean throughout. At first I wondered if the creaking floor was an issue, but it was only at the beginning and didn’t bother us after that. There are safety gates at the kitchen entrance and at the top of the stairs to the second floor, which gave us peace of mind. The indoor bath was clean as well, but we drove about 30 minutes to Futago-no-Yu at Michi-no-Eki Jōbon no Sato. It’s the only iron-containing chloride spring in the prefecture, and it warmed us up nicely. The private dog run had some areas with long grass, so we ended up not using it. The dog run near the beach was wide with neatly trimmed grass, and our dogs were thrilled to run around. There is parking right by the room, but with our one-box van it was a bit tricky when driving up out of the slope. Since there were no other guests, we were able to go up to turn around and come back down safely. At night it was quiet, and it was great being able to see the stars.

The parking lot is hard to find, so be sure to arrive before it gets dark. The shared kitchen is very well equipped—stylish and clean—and we enjoyed our meals there. The public bath we used with the free ticket left our skin wonderfully silky-smooth!

I visited here as a child, and the exterior hasn’t changed. It’s an old building, but the inside is very well cleaned and everything was spotless—especially the wooden hallways, which were shiny everywhere. The Onsen baths—the semi-open-air cave-style bath and the family bath with plenty of yunohana—were very hot, and I personally couldn’t get in without adding cold water. The large public bath was just slightly on the hot side. The meals were reasonably tasty—a typical mountain Ryokan menu with a bit more wild vegetables than usual. The grilled fish with soba miso in the photo was especially delicious. Because of the antenna, TV reception wasn’t good, so I’d really like this to be fixed. I heard this Ryokan has been operating for over 400 years, and I hope it continues for many years to come.

We were very satisfied with our stay, enjoying delicious local cuisine and locally brewed sake. The staff were all warm and welcoming, and their service was excellent.

The top recommendation is the private open-air bath on the rooftop. There are two options, A and B; if you can book the evening slot to watch the sunset, choose A. Since the rooftop bath has only one faucet and no shampoo or other amenities, it’s best to wash up first in the large public bath on the first floor, which is fully equipped. Guests are responsible for laying out their own futons, including putting on the sheets. This may not suit those looking for a classic Ryokan experience where your bedding is prepared while you’re at dinner, but room rates are more reasonable as a result. The Shinshu beef sukiyaki dinner was excellent. We bought drinks and snacks at Yamauchi Shoten across from the Ryokan (open until 7:00 PM—please note), but we ended up too full and had to take them back with us the next day. The Ryokan is also perfectly located for visiting multiple public baths, making it easy to take a break at the Accommodation between stops around mealtimes. Shuttle Service times are set to match Nagano Dentetsu limited express trains. If you’d like to explore town after check-out, you can take a bus (e.g., from Shibu-Wago bus stop) to Yudanaka Station, but be aware there may be little time between arriving at the station and your train’s departure.

The Hotel felt very clean, likely thanks to thorough daily cleaning and regular renovations. I also think it offers great value, with satisfying complimentary drinks and late-night snacks. I’d love to stay again if I have the chance!

I stayed for one night on my way back from Shirakami-Sanchi via the Gono Line. The Onsen left my skin feeling wonderfully smooth, and the Room was spacious and very relaxing. The meals were sample portions, but everything was delicious. Since my train the next day was around 11:00, I wasn’t sure how to spend the time after checking out at 10:00, but the staff suggested a sightseeing Plan, and I was able to tour around on the Hotel bus, which made the trip even more fulfilling. The staff also kindly saw me off outside and were extremely helpful throughout—overall, I was very satisfied.

The Room was lovely, and the view was spectacular. I prefer a clean, uncluttered Room, so this is the best Hotel I have stayed at so far. If I had to mention one thing, as others have noted, the shower water pressure was a bit weak, which was slightly disappointing; otherwise, it is an excellent Hotel with nothing to complain about. I would love to stay again.

It was very convenient, just a short walk from Dogo Onsen. The building feels a bit old, but the staff’s wonderful hospitality more than made up for it. We really appreciated it! We also used the large public bath in the morning, but the air conditioning wasn’t on... I’m not sure if that was intentional or simply forgotten... It was a hot day, so that was the only thing that concerned us. We were able to cool down properly once we returned to our room, but we would have liked to cool off right after the bath.
