Tenjuku no Mori Keigetsu

Tucked away a little off the prefectural road, this Accommodation is quietly situated—and truly wonderful. With only a small number of guest Rooms, they seem to focus on attentive hospitality. The meals were outstanding at both dinner and breakfast—so generous you’ll wonder if it’s really okay to eat that much. The price is a bit on the high side, but the value for money is excellent; everything was carefully prepared and genuinely delicious. We stayed as a couple, and the Room was quiet, spacious, and spotless. The Onsen was also fantastic and incredibly relaxing. The open-air bath is wide and spacious, and you can stretch out on a reclining chair in front of nature with nothing on—an amazing refresh that lets you forget everyday life for a while. There was complimentary summer mandarin juice at both the front desk and the large public bath area, and it was delicious too. Our Room had a semi-open-air bath, but that one felt fairly standard. I’m very disappointed that I slept in and missed going to the morning public bath. I’d love to stay again—the staff’s sincerity really came through.

The Room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. We could see bamboo and a pond from the window and even spotted a varied tit, but it was disappointing that the window glass was dirty. My grandchild was thrilled with the loft Room. The bed was large, and we slept comfortably with plenty of space.Both breakfast and dinner offered a wide variety of dishes, served in beautiful tableware—there was more than we could finish. As an extra service, we were given an additional Chinese dish; the carrots were carved into birds and flowers, which delighted my grandchild.One concern was the dining area. The banquet hall was partitioned with gold folding screens, but parts of the wallpaper didn’t reach properly and seemed to be held up with pushpins, which really stood out. It was disappointing because the food itself was excellent. Also, we could clearly hear voices from the hallway, which bothered us.
