Nippon no Yado Furukama

I was very satisfied with the newly renovated room. The fresh scent of new tatami was especially pleasant. The meal also came with a careful explanation and was very satisfying—especially the sukiyaki beef, which was more generous than I expected. The free drinks were a pleasant surprise as well. Breakfast was delicious, too. Of course the hot springs were great, and the large public bath was spacious and relaxing—completely satisfying. I enjoyed three baths in total: before dinner, after dinner, and in the morning—it couldn’t have been better. I would definitely like to stay again if I have the chance.

Our family of five stayed for two nights.From the warm welcome right after arrival to the efficient service and the staff’s smiles, our travel fatigue melted away.There were complimentary welcome drinks, and we enjoyed a relaxing tea time in the spacious area next to the lobby.The baths were clean, and little touches—like being able to choose from different shampoos—made our stay very comfortable.The open-air bath could have been a bit larger for more room to relax.From the 8th floor at night, we could see Kaminoyama Castle beautifully lit up, and the city lights looked like jewels—an amazing view.The rotation between the 1st- and 8th-floor baths was such that both nights were women’s bath → men’s bath (day/night), so it might be nice to switch the order for guests staying two nights.Women can choose from six types of yukata, which was another thoughtful touch that kept things fun.Dinner had a great balance of meat and fish, and in particular, the beef stood out—it was so tender it practically fell apart in your mouth. Thank you for a wonderful meal.It was our daughter’s birthday, and you prepared a birthday cake for her. Thank you as well for kindly accommodating our special requests.Even though we were completely full, the cake was so delicious that our whole family truly felt there is always room for dessert.The breakfast buffet also offered an impressive variety—be prepared not to finish everything if you try them all. It was that extensive and made mornings enjoyable.Throughout the property, many Rakuyaki plates made by famous past guests are displayed; just viewing them alone made us feel glad we chose to stay here. I highly recommend staying here and seeing this collection.On departure you took photos for us, including one with Hanagasa hats, which became another wonderful memory.Everyone kept smiling throughout our stay, making it truly pleasant from start to finish.This ended up being a long review because I believe this is an inn well worth it. I would definitely recommend it.Thank you very much for taking such good care of us.
