후지와라 댐 주변 × 미소 요리를 즐길 수 있는 숙소만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

It was a wonderful Accommodation, just as the Reviews said. The food, the interior decor throughout the building, and the furnishings in the guest room were all tasteful, and since there were only six groups of guests, we were able to relax even though it was peak season. The staff’s service was also excellent.\nIt was an Accommodation that made us want to come back again for the first time in a while.

The breakfast and dinner buffets were outstanding and truly exciting. I was especially amazed by the wide variety of breads at breakfast. Everything was delicious, but I regret that I couldn’t try them all. We also enjoyed drinks and sweets in the lovely lounge, and the staff’s attentive service made our stay very comfortable. This is an Accommodation I would love to visit again.

This was my second stay this year since my visit in June. I stayed in a detached Room and was able to relax deeply. The meals are described as “Yamabito cuisine,” and they were delicious, healthy, and truly something you can’t easily experience elsewhere. Thank you very much.

I stayed in a renovated Room with a sauna. The Room was spacious and comfortable. I’d like to visit again, so I’d like to point out a few things that concerned me. About the amenities in the Room: There were two single-use sets (osaji). At minimum, you use them twice for breakfast, right? It wasn’t enough for two people. When I called to request more, I was told it would be 500 yen per set, so I paid 1,000 yen. Since I wanted to enjoy the Onsen and sauna many times, I use lotion each time. In Rooms at a similar price range, it’s common to have proper branded products rather than single-use items, so this was disappointing. The “totonoi” chair for relaxing after the sauna smelled terrible and had sweat stains, so I couldn’t sit on it. The tiles around the shower also had mildew and smelled bad. There were lots of spider webs on the stone wall, and many dead insects fell down. If cleaning is done properly every day, I don’t think that many spider webs would build up. The decorative houseplant in the Room was covered in dust. Please install real plants instead. I was surprised by how much alcohol was stocked in the refrigerator. The labels were roughly handwritten as well, and if they are paid items, it would be better to offer just a few bottles as “recommended by the Accommodation.” Keeping it simple would be best. As this is a long-established Ryokan, many of the staff are older, and talking with them was soothing. The food was incredibly delicious—I was very satisfied. The large public bath felt so old that it honestly scared me (lol). On my way out, I suggested replacing the sauna chair to the proprietress, so when I visit again I hope it will have been replaced! I’ll come again. Thank you very much.

If you love Onsen, this place is truly heaven—there are 18 private baths. This was my third stay, and I still haven’t managed to try them all. The detached cottage “Aoi” has its own open-air bath, which is absolutely wonderful. I always end up completely satisfied just using the bath in the Room. The spring quality is a simple Onsen (slightly alkaline, hypotonic, high-temperature) with a pH of 8.3. It feels gentle on the skin and is easy to enjoy in a different way from more distinctive springs like sulfur Onsen. It’s comfortable for longer soaks, and being able to enjoy it many times during your stay is part of the appeal. Many of the open-air baths have a rustic, DIY-like feel. Numerous private baths are scattered across the vast grounds, and I can only imagine how much work it must be to maintain and manage so many. Because this Accommodation is surrounded by nature, things like insects and fallen leaves are somewhat unavoidable. In July there were quite a few insects, and when I visited last September I also had trouble with biting gnats. Even so, this Accommodation has more than enough charm to make up for it. The source spring has an abundant flow rate, and the source temperature is very high at 76.1°C. To bring it down to a comfortable temperature, adding water may sometimes be necessary. As an Onsen lover, I’d ideally like to enjoy pure free-flowing water without dilution—but with such a high-temperature source spring, I understand that temperature control can be challenging. Many of the staff are from overseas, but everyone speaks Japanese well and I’ve never felt inconvenienced. They are always polite and attentive. And despite being such a secluded hot-spring retreat, it’s great that the meals are genuinely delicious as well. This time we ordered sukiyaki as an extra dish; it was excellent and very satisfying. In winter this area apparently gets extremely heavy snowfall. Next time I’d love to visit in winter and enjoy an outdoor bath while admiring snowy scenery.

Stayed at the accommodation after visiting Tomioka Silk Mill. The cool night was refreshing and felt like another world, providing a relaxing experience. Had delightful conversations with the couple running the pension and enjoyed a wonderful time. Thank you very much!
