Forest Resort Inawashiro Shiki no Sato

This Accommodation was quiet and surrounded by trees. After receiving a courteous explanation at the front counter, we headed to our Room. The Room was very clean with no unpleasant odors. We quickly changed into yukata and went to the large public bath. The bath was extremely satisfying and wonderfully relaxing, easing away our fatigue. Then it was time for dinner, and we enjoyed our evening meal in the dining hall. We were very satisfied with the delicious food, as well as the attentive service from the staff. If we have another opportunity, we would like to stay at this Accommodation again. We were very satisfied—thank you very much.

We stayed for a 2-night, 3-day Multiple Night Stay during Golden Week. It’s also close to Lake Inawashiro, and if you have a car, access to sightseeing spots is very convenient. The meals were delicious and generous in portion size, and the menu was changed on the second day as well, which made us very satisfied. Dinner goes without saying, but the dried fish and grilled salmon at breakfast were especially tasty. Since many Accommodations start breakfast from 7:00, 7:30 felt a little late. The bath was a bit small and there is no open-air bath, but even though it was fully booked it wasn’t crowded, so we could relax. Because we had a car, we also went out to enjoy the open-air Onsen at Nakanosawa Onsen. The Room was clean; the air conditioner worked well; and we were very happy with how well the refrigerator/freezer cooled. It was disappointing that the washbasin drain clogged easily. Our spacious 12-tatami Japanese-style Room was on the first floor; the garden view was beautiful, but Lake Inawashiro could only be seen from the third-floor bath area. There is no shop on site, so we recommend buying what you need in advance. My wife said she would have been happy if there had been shower caps among the amenities. We came from Tokyo and arrived at this Hotel via Tonohetsuri and around Aizu; using this place as our base, we enjoyed Tohoku Safari Park, Nakanosawa Onsen, Goshikinuma Ponds, Lake Inawashiro, and more—and after giving up on Ouchi-juku due to heavy traffic on day one of Golden Week weekend congestion , we tried again early on our last day and made it there by 9:00 to visit successfully. The staff’s hospitality was excellent, and we had a very pleasant three days. Despite being during Golden Week , it offered great value for money—highly recommended Hotel .
