Tokismika Soba French and Japanese Modern Auberge

We stayed as a couple in our early senior years. We thoroughly enjoyed both dinner and breakfast.At dinner, the eel (especially the skin), the ayu wrapped and baked in brick pastry, and the low-temperature cooked fillet were particularly memorable. At breakfast, the galette was especially delicious. The portions were just right, and even my wife—who usually cannot finish everything—managed to eat all the way through to the final warabi mochi this time.Our Room was a semi-suite with plenty of space, and we spent a very comfortable stay. My wife especially loved the refined beauty of the bath walls and the tatami flooring in the toilet area. However, we did notice some noise from the air conditioning (it seemed to be central heating rather than an in-room unit) during the night.A river with quite a strong flow ran beneath the window of one of your smoking rooms. Next time, we would love to stay in a riverside Room.The day after our stay, we headed to Senjojiki Cirque, and it was very helpful that you allowed us to leave our car parked in your Accommodation’s parking lot.Thank you very much.

The Accommodation feels a bit dark overall.The meals were the chef’s heartfelt creations, making generous use of local ingredients, which I appreciated. The first half of dinner felt a little slow-paced; perhaps serving bread or something similar would have helped fill the gaps. From the buckwheat tea granita, the tender and thoughtfully prepared fillet, and the chef’s handmade 100% buckwheat soba—along with two kinds of broth served with matsutake mushrooms—my satisfaction really started to rise. There were several delicious desserts; my only regret is that I would have liked to enjoy them with tea. Breakfast was excellent as well—every dish was delicious.The downside was a musty smell in both the lobby and bedroom. Please be sure to clean the air purifier. The suite also felt somewhat enclosed. The bath had wonderful water, and I was happy that I could use it at any time.All of the staff were pleasant and welcoming, and I am truly grateful.
