HATAGO INN Shizuoka Yoshida IC

Free on-site surface parking.A gas station is nearby; McDonald’s and the Valor supermarket are next door; Sukiya is across the road; and Takoman (a local confectionery) is just opposite.The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable.The staff’s warm smiles make you feel at ease.Even the housekeeping team greets you with a smile, not just the front desk, which is very pleasant.The large public bath has long opening hours, feels very clean, and is spacious.When I asked to have the air purifier replaced, they brought one right away. They also kindly explained that what I thought was dirt wasn’t actually dirt (they were considerate so I wouldn’t feel embarrassed). I didn’t catch their name, but thank you for your help despite being busy. It was so good that I extended my stay to a Multiple Night Stay.

During our drive from Kyoto to Tokyo after the New Year holidays, we decided to make an impromptu overnight stop in Shizuoka due to traffic and weather concerns. We found this accommodation on IKYU.com based on its good reviews and quickly made a reservation. By that evening, it was fully booked, so our quick decision paid off.The reception staff were friendly and welcoming both over the phone and in person. While there is no Onsen, the large public bath was spacious and relaxing, with POLA-brand shampoo and soap provided. Breakfast is available for 900 yen as a buffet with limited but satisfying options. Local specialties such as shirasu rice or Shizuoka oden were mentioned on the site as examples of dishes served. Since I love shirasu rice, I opted for breakfast but ended up having Shizuoka oden instead during my stay—it was delicious despite my initial disappointment.From my room, I could see Mount Fuji along with the year's first full moon and sunrise—a breathtaking view! That night, I enjoyed watching a TV program I didn’t want to miss while lying comfortably in bed with a flat-screen TV right in front of me. The pillow provided was too high for me; unfortunately, all alternative pillows had already been borrowed due to full occupancy. It would be great if lower pillows were available.The lobby offers complimentary coffee service only in the morning; however, guests can enjoy free Shizuoka tea after check-in. Although there’s a kettle and refrigerator in each room, tea leaves or coffee are not provided—I wish coffee could be made available (there are vending machines though). Across from the accommodation is "Takoman," a confectionery shop unique to Shizuoka Prefecture where I unexpectedly found some delicious treats that I'd previously tried at an expressway service area—this discovery alone made my stay even more delightful!I’d definitely consider staying here again during future trips home!
