รีวิวและความประทับใจจากผู้เข้าพักที่ KANSHUKUEN ESHIKOTO

Multiple Night Stay Day 1

Having stayed several times at the sister Property, Sosuikyo in Mie Prefecture, I heard that a new villa opened in November, so I quickly made a Reservation. Since Fukui is not a place I can visit every month, I decided on a Multiple Night Stay this time. ＜Check-in＞ I checked in directly at the villa without going through the front desk. The staff provided a thorough explanation of the Room's amenities, so I didn’t need to make any inquiries during my stay. I thought it was a nice service to receive a welcome drink at the adjacent bar. ＜Room＞ I stayed in the JOU-II Room. The villa, over 100 square meters, was very comfortable. The space is adorned with antique furniture and crafts, making it a delight for those who appreciate such aesthetics. The semi-open-air Onsen bath was spacious, allowing two adults to stretch out and relax comfortably. The windows can be opened and closed, and the lattice can slide, so even those concerned about full openness can use it with peace of mind. While the bath was excellent, I was most impressed by the terrace. Many Ryokans and Hotels have terraces, but they are often unusable in summer due to insects or in winter due to the cold. However, the terrace at Kanshuku-en has large windows that open and close like a house, making it a comfortable space regardless of the season. The drinks in the refrigerator were complimentary, and I appreciated the inclusion of Kokuryu sake and local craft beer. ＜Dinner＞ I enjoyed an Echizen crab course at the Japanese restaurant En. (It seems they serve French cuisine on certain days.) The interior features a large counter, creating a calm and elegant atmosphere. Every dish using Echizen crab was delicious and visually stunning. Among them, I particularly liked the gratin and croquette. I had never tried crab shabu-shabu before and was initially unsure, but I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was. The owner? provided a relaxed and approachable service, sharing various insights about Fukui, which made the experience even better. I was unsure about choosing drinks, but the sommelier’s detailed explanations were very helpful. They also had rare Kokuryu sake available, so I recommend enjoying it as part of a pairing. ＜Sightseeing＞ On the first night, I was tired from traveling, so I didn’t venture far and visited the adjacent ESHIKOTO. I learned that you can tour the Ishidaya storage facility by Reservation, so I booked it for the next day. Hareya (a bakery) seems to be a popular spot, as everything was sold out even before closing time. I recommend going early.
