Yuno Yado Aji no Yado Umenoya

I was impressed by every aspect of this stay.First, the food was truly outstanding. Not only were the ingredients excellent, but the menu featured an abundance of seasonal items that are hard to come by in everyday life—such as longtooth grouper (kue), Shizuoka-brand eel “Deshiko,” pike conger (hamo), kuruma prawns, and Kamo eggplant—and I was moved by each dish. There wasn’t a single miss: the dashi flavor came through beautifully, and the balance of ingredients and seasoning in every course was exquisite. The overall satisfaction was so high that it honestly felt surprising to be able to stay at this price while being served cuisine of such a high level.The Onsen was also wonderful.The bath area is new and kept very clean, so it was comfortable to use.In particular, Umenoya’s unique natural spring water at around 30°C was perfect for this hot season. Alternating it with the indoor bath at around 40°C left me feeling refreshed after bathing and made for a truly relaxing time. I highly recommend trying it this way.Above all, what left the strongest impression was the hospitality of the staff. When I accidentally dropped my chopsticks during dinner, one staff member immediately noticed and picked them up, and another staff member who saw this brought me a fresh pair. Their seamless teamwork showed how well they communicate on a daily basis, which really moved me.The proprietress has such a warm presence—always smiling and speaking to guests in a friendly way. Despite her young age, her attentiveness to guests and her awareness of everything throughout the Ryokan are exceptional; I don’t often encounter someone capable of providing hospitality at this level.It was an Accommodation that left me completely satisfied with its cuisine, Onsen, and service.I would love to return in another season to enjoy more delicious food and the Onsen again.

This stay was wonderful once again, exactly as expected.From the appetizers to the dessert, every dish was crafted without compromise. Not only were the ingredients excellent, but the depth of the dashi came through beautifully, and we were truly satisfied with every plate.The Onsen has a gentle, easy-to-enjoy quality that makes you want to soak again and again. We also enjoyed the sauna and were able to relax both body and mind.In addition, the hospitality from the proprietress and all staff members was truly outstanding. It was clear that each person paid close attention to every guest, which genuinely moved us.Even though it was a weekday, there were many guests staying here. After speaking with someone in the building who said they visit “three or four times a year,” we completely understood why.It’s rare to find an Accommodation where both the Onsen and cuisine are this satisfying. We would choose this place again without hesitation.
