백포 온천 × 식사의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

The hot spring has an abundant flow of water, and the waterfall bath provides an excellent massage effect for the shoulders and lower back. I stayed for two nights, and the proprietress’s vegetable-focused side dishes were very delicious, with no repeated menu items. It is buffet-style, and the staff manage it hygienically, which gave me peace of mind. The cleaning is thorough, but the building is old, and footsteps echo when people walk.

We stayed at this Ryokan for my parents’ therapeutic hot-spring retreat. It’s a Ryokan that’s difficult to reach without a car, but it had a wonderful atmosphere. The staff were especially kind, and we truly enjoyed our stay. My elderly parents were delighted with the nostalgic Japanese-style room. There are many stairs inside the Accommodation, and my father, whose legs have started to weaken, had a bit of difficulty walking around the building. We had breakfast, and it was delicious Japanese food that left us completely full.

This was my first stay, and not only was the Onsen excellent, but the meals were far better than I expected—I was truly impressed. The carp sashimi seemed to be a specialty, and it had no strong taste at all; it paired perfectly with vinegared miso and was delicious. Every dish went wonderfully with sake, and I also enjoyed comparing different types of sake. By the time the sukiyaki arrived at the end I was already full, but the beef was so good I somehow still had room for it. This has become a favorite Accommodation that I’d love to visit again.

We stayed here with two people for an overnight snowboarding trip to Tengendai Kogen Ski Resort. After a full day on the slopes, they served us must-have snacks for drinks, and we enjoyed a toast. Then we took a bath; the tub is a bit small for two adults at once, but taking turns was no problem. They also make sure guests don’t overlap. The dinner menu that day featured Yonezawa’s specialty Yoshitsune-yaki (Genghis Khan), and there were also appetizers like oden and pork miso soup—satisfaction level 120%! After returning to the Room, there wasn’t much to do, so I thought it would be nice to have at least a TV. Still, we had another satisfying breakfast the next morning, enjoyed coffee, and headed to the slopes with plenty of time—no need to line up for the ropeway. We’ll definitely stay again.
