백봉 계곡 주변 × 식사의 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

We had an incredibly fulfilling stay. From the interior and exterior design to the furniture, decor, fixtures, amenities, lawn, and open grounds, this was a wonderfully comfortable Facility where you can feel the attention to detail everywhere. The interior is unified in a calm design, with very high ceilings that create an airy sense of openness, allowing us to fully enjoy a special time away from everyday life. The vanity area and bathroom were especially spacious and impressive—made with high-quality materials and kept impeccably clean down to every corner. The amenities also felt thoughtfully chosen; for example, Aesop hand soap was provided at the sink. All essential cookware and appliances were available, so we could stay comfortably without any inconvenience. We even enjoyed handheld fireworks in the garden. The views of Mt. Fuji and the Southern Alps were also stunning—scenery you could gaze at for hours without noticing time pass. Most memorable of all were the wood-fired sauna and cold plunge bath. The wood-fired sauna was exceptional—enjoying it while feeling the flicker of flames, hearing the crackle of burning logs, and breathing in the scent of wood was truly special. Unlike an electric heater, it had a gentle heat that warmed us slowly from deep within and helped us relax completely. A large amount of sauna stones were thoroughly heated, so we could also enjoy pleasant steam from löyly. It’s an ideal setup that I would highly recommend even to dedicated sauna lovers. They added ice to the cold plunge bath multiple times for us, so we could cool down properly. Paired with the wood-fired sauna, it was perfect—we fully enjoyed every session. In the evening we enjoyed a BBQ, and we really appreciated that the owner prepared everything—from lighting the fire to setting everything up. On top of that, we received a generous gift of fresh vegetables grown by his wife. They were all rare varieties you don’t often see day-to-day, and you could feel careful attention not only in each vegetable but also in their labels and packaging. We tried them right away at our BBQ—especially the eggplant, which was unbelievably tender and delicious. Beyond how wonderful both the Facility itself and its location are, we were truly moved by the owners’ thoughtful hospitality as well. In this extraordinary setting—with beautiful views, a wood-fired sauna experience like no other،and BBQ—we spent a luxurious yet deeply comfortable time here. We would love to stay again. Thank you very much for such a wonderful experience.

I’ve always loved Shichiken sake, and over the past 10 years I’ve visited the brewery several times. Since it opened, I’d been curious about esoto, so I finally stayed here! It was a wonderfully comfortable stay where I could relax and truly feel the character of Hokuto. What left the strongest impression was the dining, as well as the sweets and drinks prepared in the guest room. The ingredients and beverages—carefully selected mainly from Daigahara and Hokuto—let me enjoy a refined time while appreciating the blessings of the land. ●Guest Room & Amenities The calm space allowed me to unwind at my own pace. Inspired by a historic residence on the brewery grounds, everything—from the three-room layout to the garden—was beautifully arranged. Although it was rainy, there was a lovely atmosphere looking out onto the garden through the window. ●Hospitality & Service They kept a comfortable distance without being intrusive, which made it easy to relax at my own pace. They also handled everything with great care—from Shuttle Service and guidance around nearby spots (including that historic residence) to perfect timing for meals. ●Onsen / Bath The bath inside an earthen storehouse had an exceptionally refined design. There were even ice pops and sparkling sake “Yama no Kasumi,” but after dinner I was too full (and had enjoyed plenty of sake), so I didn’t get to try them. ●Dining The most memorable part of this stay was definitely the food. Local ingredients were used with great care, and every dish was delicious. The venison in particular had almost no gamey flavor—easily among the best venison I’ve ever had—yet still delivered deep umami. Not only that, but each Shichiken sake pairing we enjoyed was outstanding…! Being able to properly savor cuisine unique to this area while tasting local ingredients and sake felt like something special to this Accommodation. I would highly recommend it even for those who choose an Accommodation with dining as one of their main purposes. In the morning, I woke up to local voices chatting outside—it felt like experiencing everyday life within Daigahara-shuku. When I want to immerse myself in nature along with regional food and sake for a true refresh, I’d love to return again.

I stayed for two nights in a cabin with a sauna in mid-April. Although it was closer to town than I expected, the location truly let me experience the “Live with nature” concept. Since I usually live near the sea, being surrounded by mountains felt refreshing. The air was so clear, and I had a wonderfully comfortable stay. The Room—its floors and furniture—was mostly made of wood, creating a soothing space that felt great on bare skin and made me want to spend the whole day there without even going outside. I also enjoyed both the sauna and the campfire at a relaxed pace. At the same time, if you drive out, there are plenty of charming cafes and restaurants nearby, making it perfect for a food-focused trip as well. The email sent before check-in included detailed information about the base’s Facility and amenities, as well as tips about the surrounding area, which helped me plan my trip. Even without staff on-site, I felt warm hospitality. One delightful surprise was being greeted by monkeys when I stepped outside in the morning—it made nature feel even closer. If you want to enjoy both slow time here and sightseeing around the area, I strongly recommend staying at least two nights! Next time, I’d love to stay at another SANU location too.

Four local friends and I stayed here for a trip, and it was an amazing stay. The Facilities are exceptionally well equipped—there’s a private sauna, a pool, and an evening fire pit—so you can enjoy a truly luxurious time without even leaving the property. I’m actually not usually a sauna person, but this sauna somehow didn’t feel stifling at all and was very comfortable. Because it’s completely private, I could relax and chat freely with my friends, and before I knew it I’d gone back in again and again—it was that cozy. For dinner, we borrowed the BBQ grill and enjoyed cooking together. There are also great spots nearby such as a whisky museum and places where you can try fishing ponds, so we were able to fully enjoy the entire stay including sightseeing. It was a big hit with my friends as well. Thank you for such a wonderful time!

It was our first time staying here. We arrived before check-in, and we had BBQ meat in a cooler box. When we asked at the information desk if we could use a refrigerator, they kindly agreed. Playing in the river, the fountain park, trout catching, and the Onsen were all close by and easy to get to. There were also plenty of shaded parking spots thanks to all the trees. The Accommodation was very clean, and we enjoyed a fun BBQ dinner on the balcony. Since guests can use the Onsen as much as they like, Grandpa and Grandma went three times! I (Grandma) made the Reservation, and our grandchildren liked it so much that they said they want to come back here again next year. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

The building is old, but this is a very cozy Accommodation that makes you want to come back. They accept up to three groups per day; the toilet and washbasin are outside the Room, but they are assigned for your exclusive use, and the Onsen is also reserved privately by time slot. We stayed one night and used it three times in total. As they call themselves a cuisine-focused Accommodation, the food was delicious and more than enough. The owner trained at a soba restaurant, and his handmade soba is served at the end—hearty portions and extremely satisfying. The chicken offal stew and horse sashimi were also excellent. On top of that, chatting with the handsome owner was so much fun that we’re definitely coming back. We visited in summer this time, but we’d like to visit in autumn next time.

We planned this trip because we were drawn to the catchphrase of “Sanwaso, a heartwarming Accommodation for dogs.” The staff were all very kind, the Room was extremely comfortable, and above all, seeing our dog’s happy face made it special. Inside the Accommodation, you can spend time freely, and there was a bathtub prepared for dogs, so we could enjoy the Onsen together. The meals were also very delicious. We’re glad we chose this Accommodation. If we have another chance, it’s an Accommodation we would love to visit again.

I always think the Onsen is wonderful. I sometimes wish the Room had a bed, but the atmosphere is quite nice. The meals are a bit too large for elderly guests, and I feel bad leaving food. It’s an Onsen I’d like to visit again.

It was a wonderful space. I’ve also uploaded photos, so I hope you’ll take a look. I was amazed at how beautifully this place has been designed—what could otherwise feel a bit small is made to feel so special. My wife, our 3-year-old child, and I stayed here and were very satisfied! The room was very clean, and our child was thrilled, saying, “The top bunk is my spot!” The sink area and bath were comfortable with everything we needed, and the TENTIAL sandals were also very comfortable to wear. I think this place will change people’s image of a “garage house hotel.” One thing I hope will improve going forward is the food. Dinner looked great—the plating and tableware were beautiful and enjoyable visually. On the other hand, the overall flavor felt like it could use one more step up. In particular, while the venison main dish was prepared in a very approachable way, those who love game meat might find it a little lacking. I was also personally disappointed that there wasn’t a glass red wine option to pair with the venison main. That said, since it was such an easy-to-eat dish, perhaps the by-the-glass selection was chosen intentionally to match that style. And breakfast— this is something I really hope you improve. The rice had dried out and become hard, which honestly made me sad. Personally, I feel breakfast can greatly change the overall impression of a Hotel stay. Because this Facility is so wonderful otherwise, I strongly felt you should put more effort into breakfast. Also, while the female staff member in charge of dinner came across as highly professional, at breakfast it felt like operations still weren’t running smoothly. In the end, after-meal drinks took quite a while to arrive and we had to wait. The families on both sides of us seemed to be in the same situation as well, so I hope this will be improved going forward. I’ve written various things about the meals but—above all—this place itself is truly lovely. I think it’s definitely worth staying at this Hotel. There was also a small issue during our stay this time; however, your response was very smooth and pleasant. Including how you handled an irregular situation like that, my personal evaluation is very high. As an aside: when my child and I woke up early for a walk in the morning—we actually found a stag beetle! My child was overjoyed as well; including that experience too, it became a wonderful memory.

This beautifully renovated traditional house features a calm, relaxing interior finished with solid wood and plaster. In the early morning it felt more than 5°C colder than Tokyo, but there is not only air conditioning but also a kerosene fan heater, and once the house warms up it’s very comfortable. As the renovation was completed recently and cleaning is thorough, everything felt very clean. As described on the website, the kitchen is well equipped—enough to cook most meals—and having basic seasonings provided is rare for an entire-home rental and was extremely helpful. There is no TV, but there is a Bluetooth speaker and a record player, making it a great place to relax with music or read. I brought a small projector and had no trouble projecting onto the wall. Step outside and you can enjoy magnificent views of the Southern Alps; with little traffic, it’s a wonderful area for walks. I arrived by public transportation, and both Yamanashi Kotsu buses and the local community bus stop nearby, so getting around was easy. However, I heard that Yamanashi Kotsu routes will be discontinued at the end of March 2026; relying only on about five community bus services per day may be quite limiting. There’s a convenience store within walking distance, and around Nirasaki Station you’ll find a shopping mall as well as stylish cafés, pizza places, vintage clothing shops, bakeries, bars, and more—I felt this town development could be promoted even more. The owner was very considerate in many ways, which made my stay extremely comfortable. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.
