전국 × 눈 구경 목욕으로 인기 있는 숙소식사의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸 - 54페이지

I visited with a friend for our once-a-year, slightly indulgent girls’ trip. The Accommodation seems to be located right in front of a local bus stop, but part of the national highway on the bus route was closed due to a landslide and buses were taking a detour, meaning extra travel time from both Takayama and Matsumoto. So my friend drove from Nagoya instead. We took a short break at the Hirugano Kogen Service Area to enjoy the magnificent scenery, and arrived comfortably in just under three hours with no traffic. There were spots with some snow remaining along the sides of the road, but there was no snow on the road itself. Even so, it gets cold in the mornings and evenings, so winter tires are recommended for peace of mind in case of icy conditions. The building is kept impeccably clean and is wrapped in a pleasant quietness and the lovely aroma of charcoal from the irori hearth—while our Room had no odor at all. We were welcomed into a spacious Room with delicious homemade pound cake as part of their hospitality, and as we chatted comfortably, time flew by. The cuisine was truly outstanding—bringing out the full flavor of each ingredient while presenting combinations and plating unlike anything I’d experienced before, far exceeding its reputation and my expectations. As richer foods have started to leave me feeling heavy or unwell the next day over recent years, I especially appreciated how refined every dish was; it felt like food I could happily enjoy even in my 80s without any heaviness. The chef’s and staff’s genuine desire for guests to enjoy themselves came through clearly. Perhaps because of the high altitude, alcohol seemed to hit more quickly—and since I also wanted to bathe—I unfortunately didn’t get around to trying the local craft beer or sake provided in our Room. Still, stepping outside after the sauna into crisp mountain air with grand peaks right before us felt incredible. The private hot Onsen bath attached to our Room—hotter than expected—with jazz at night and birdsong in the morning was pure luxury: an unbelievably relaxing stay beyond what I could imagine. I’d love to return to experience another season’s cuisine as well—I’ve become a true fan. Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality.

Stayed in mid-January. Thank you for the thoughtful amenities such as rice, sparkling water, eggs, coffee, and seasonings. As mentioned in some reviews, the sauna temperature felt a bit lacking. It might have been due to the winter season, but it was slightly disappointing. Additionally, the mirroring function on the projector didn’t work well—possibly due to poor Wi-Fi connection. However, the room, kitchen, and location were excellent! I would love to stay again.

I have traveled to many places, but this was an indescribably wonderful space where I had a truly great time. Despite the unfortunate rain, I was able to enjoy the outdoors without getting wet. Bringing my dog, enjoying the open-air bath, and experiencing outdoor activities—all my wishes came true!

Dinner was very satisfying, featuring unique and delicious creative dishes and other tasty items made with local ingredients such as Oita beef. The bath was also wonderful, with a great view from the open-air bath that felt very relaxing.

It was a cozy accommodation, but a very clean and excellent ryokan. The food was outstanding, especially the Joshu beef steak. Additionally, the handmade soba noodles were delicious. The private onsen was slightly small but a very nice bath. Thank you for your hospitality.

We stayed here with our family during heavy rain. There were a few minor issues, but that’s part of staying at a mountain Accommodation—and the owner and his family’s hospitality more than made up for it. Dinner, featuring char (iwana) and wild mountain vegetables, was truly satisfying. Amazingly, we were the only guests that day and had the abundant free-flowing natural Onsen all to ourselves—it was wonderful.

This was a thoroughly satisfying stay in every way. Right after arriving, we were captivated by the beautiful song of Japanese bush warblers. After entering our Room, we enjoyed the large public bath and open-air bath until dinner; the Onsen water was wonderfully clear, odorless, and tasteless with an excellent quality. Dinner featured a wide variety of dishes using many local ingredients—especially the apple gratin, which was surprisingly delicious. After sleeping soundly, we enjoyed morning bathing at four different spots to fully savor the Onsen, and breakfast also offered many options—so tasty that we ate a bit too much. Conversation with the proprietress was delightful, making it a truly enjoyable trip. This Accommodation is highly recommended for those who want to take their time enjoying the baths and meals.

The Facility itself feels a bit dated, but the meals were delicious, with many dishes featuring seasonal local ingredients. The Onsen water was also excellent, and the Room had a reliable internet connection. Overall, we were very satisfied.

The location and the Onsen seem to have been well designed by the company that operated it when it was built, and they are quite nice. However, it was disappointing that the Facility and courtyard were not well maintained despite their potential. The food and the staff’s service were excellent, and it is a good option in terms of reasonable pricing. I felt that many Accommodations purchased after COVID-related bankruptcies are like this, and may not last long.

Although it is a relatively quiet, rustic Onsen area, the Room and Facility were very clean after the renovation. With only seven rooms, it was very peaceful and relaxing. The meals offered a wide variety of dishes and were very satisfying. There are two private open-air baths and one large public bath for men and women, and we were able to fully enjoy the Onsen thanks to the milky white sulfur spring water.

We stayed this time with our dog. Both the property and the Room were very clean, and we also appreciated that it was a pet-friendly, fully flat Room. We were happy that free drinks, snacks, and bread were available in the lounge as well. The private open-air bath was spacious enough too! Just one thing: we thought meals would be served in the Room, but they were served in a private dining room. We happened to bring a pet cart, so our dog had a place to wait, but if we hadn’t brought one, there wouldn’t have been space for our dogs to wait during the meal, so we thought it would be nice if you offered cart rentals. Overall, it was a wonderful Accommodation to stay at with our dog!

After my wife was discharged from the hospital, she successfully passed two follow-up checkups, and we finally planned our first trip in a year. While searching for an exceptional stay as a surprise gift, we found this Accommodation. In a completely private setting, we were able to enjoy a blissful escape from everyday life. The Room filled with bright light through floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the vast grassland stretching out before us, the free-flowing Onsen and pool fed directly from the source, and the soothing sounds of nature—just what we could see and hear was enough to heal us. And yet, the chef’s warm personality reflected in every dish, along with stories full of love for Hokkaido, made it truly unforgettable. Using local ingredients along with freshly picked herbs and vegetables harvested right on the property, the unpretentious course allowed us to fully savor Hokkaido. From appetizers created right in front of us to a beautifully cooked main grilled over firewood rather than charcoal, every once-in-a-lifetime dish for that day alone moved us again and again—right through dessert. The wines thoughtfully recommended at just the right moments were also excellent. Small gestures—like turning our leftover corn rice into onigiri for a late-night snack—were deeply touching. The smooth, slightly thick Moor Onsen water left our skin silky soft, and I found myself soaking again and again after dinner, in the middle of the night, and at dawn (laughs). The steam rising into the night air under a sky full of stars was so calming I wished time would stop. Breakfast in the crisp morning air was also an array of homemade delights—we enjoyed every last bit of what this Accommodation has to offer. Spending time in an entirely private space where you can have endless views and the chef’s cuisine all to yourself—without anyone disturbing you—is truly one of a kind. Thanks to you all, it became the best possible surprise trip to celebrate my wife’s discharge. To the chef, manager/director (shihainin), and everyone on staff who helped make our stay so special—thank you very much.

The Room was very clean, the meals were delicious, and the Onsen in each Room was wonderfully relaxing. We visited to celebrate my mother’s Respect for the Aged Day and her birthday, and we had an amazing day. I’d love to come again.

The Kasumi crab and sashimi served at dinner were very fresh and delicious. The sound of the waves played like background music in the Room and the open-air bath, creating a truly special, out-of-the-ordinary experience. Everyone at the Accommodation was kind, making this a very satisfying trip. Thank you very much.

The Room atmosphere and views, as well as the free-flowing open-air bath, were excellent. The service and meals were also very good. The only downside was that the floor futon was firm and had seams, making it uncomfortable to sleep on. I think it would be even better with some improvement.

When we arrived at the bus stop, Mr. Kuboji was there to pick us up by car. We hadn’t requested it, but since it was raining, his thoughtfulness made us very happy. The Room was spacious, and although three of us stayed, we were able to relax comfortably. The meals were delicious, and we had a wonderful time. The warm, home-like atmosphere was the best.

We stayed here again this year, following our visit last year. Last year it was very cold even during the day, perhaps because of the rain, but this year we were blessed with great weather and it was almost hot when we arrived. As the sun set and it was time for dinner, it became wonderfully cool, and the meal was absolutely excellent! After dinner, we stepped outside and looked up at the sky—there were so many stars it felt like they might fall from above, and we even saw a shooting star. It was the best night sky! This is a quiet pension where time seems to slow down and you can truly relax. Thank you very much.

The free-flowing natural hot spring water overflowed generously, and it was wonderfully hot and relaxing. It’s located a little away from central Kusatsu, but I’m sensitive to noise, so I was thrilled to sleep soundly in the quiet. They provided Shuttle Service to the town center, so I could enjoy a beer without worrying about driving or parking. The facilities were clean, and the meals were delicious—I was completely full!

The bath with smooth Onsen water was excellent. The food was also very delicious.

The facility is old but well-maintained and clean. The staff provided polite and excellent service. The price was also reasonable.
