Wasure no Sato Gajoen

I had the pleasure of staying at Kurenai. With rooms reminiscent of a traditional old Japanese house, it’s an inn where you can feel as if you’re in your own private “home,” wrapped in an extraordinary sense of quiet.All of the staff warmly welcomed me, and while respecting my alone time, they also kindly kept me company with conversation.In the morning, I woke up to the rooster’s “cock-a-doodle-doo”—what a luxurious way to start the day.The famous Ramune Onsen was amazing: after soaking for about 10 minutes, tiny bubbles rose all over my body!It truly felt like experiencing one of nature’s wonders.And above all, the food was outstanding!In particular, the natural sweetness of the vegetables was beautifully highlighted by perfectly balanced seasoning, and I could feel the care put into every single dish.When I checked out, they even gave me freshly made rice balls and tamagoyaki as a takeaway gift, which I happily enjoyed while waiting for my flight.The thoughtful messages prepared for guests also deeply moved me.The soothing sound of the hot spring water, the sounds of nature, and time where you don’t have to do anything—both my mind and body were completely healed by the onsen and incredible cuisine.It became a wonderful trip that made me want to come back again. Thank you very much.

I had stayed at Tenku no Mori before, but this was my first time using this Ryokan. Overall, I think it is a truly wonderful Accommodation. The meals that make the most of ingredients such as vegetables and local chicken were excellent, and the baths have a great retro feel. The staff were all kind as well, and it’s easy to see why this charming, traditional Ryokan has repeat guests. If you are looking for something flashy or luxurious, it may not be what you expect, but for us it became one of our favorite Accommodations. We didn’t want to leave.One thing I wished for was towel hooks on the wall. Since we bathed many times, I think wall hooks would be more convenient than freestanding ones. I would be happy if you could consider something that doesn’t detract from the interior.We would definitely like to visit again. We were also delighted with the flower pendant given to us when we left. Thank you very much.
