아이즈 아시노마키 온천 · 유노카미 온천 × 식사의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

The wash area has a retro feel, but it is clean, and the Japanese-style three-way mirror and small desk give it the character of a long-established Ryokan. In addition to floor chairs, there were also comfortable cushions, showing thoughtful attention to relaxing in a tatami Room. Since we chose a Room along the gorge, we spent time simply gazing at the rocks and river below or lounging on the tatami. The Onsen was of course wonderful, but above all, the meals were outstanding. The dashi broth was truly delicious, and with every bite I felt glad we came here. Every dish was carefully crafted, and I was impressed by combinations I had never tasted before. The staff’s hospitality was attentive as well, making our stay very comfortable.

The service was excellent, and the meals were delicious. One of Okawaso’s highlights—the shamisen performance—was very soothing, and there was also a comfortable place to sit and enjoy it at a relaxed pace, making it a wonderful memory. The staff were all welcoming with lovely smiles, and their guidance was clear and easy to follow.

Although the building is over 100 years old, the interior and Facility are modern, making it very comfortable to stay in. The lighting, including well-placed indirect lighting, is used effectively to enhance the atmosphere. The hot spring water is free-flowing from the source at around 42°C, which was excellent.

Just as the Accommodation’s name suggests, my mind felt cleansed. The open-air bath was breathtaking with nature right in front of me, along with birdsong and the sound of the wind—it was wonderful.

The property was better maintained and cleaner than I expected from the exterior. The meals were generous, and the rice in particular was delicious. The international staff were well trained, and their friendly service with a smile was very pleasant.
