It wasn’t like the Hotels I’ve stayed at before or a fully equipped Ryokan, but it had a relaxing atmosphere and warm hospitality. There is no toilet or washbasin in the Room, so it may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility. There was a piano in the Room—are guests allowed to play it? The Onsen is spacious enough for two people to enjoy comfortably, and you can also use it as a private bath without making a Reservation. On the second day, checkout was at 12:00, so we could take our time. They also stored our luggage while we went to collect Gorogoro Water and visit Godaimatsu Limestone Cave, which made sightseeing much easier. The elderly gentleman kindly said, “It’s hot down below, so please take care of yourself.” After returning to Osaka, I somehow felt lighter and full of energy! It was a mysterious place—somewhere between the world below and heaven.

Just a few minutes’ walk from Amanohashidate Station, the location was extremely convenient for sightseeing. It was also great to be able to view Amanohashidate from the Room window. The Onsen was at just the right temperature for me, and I could relax and enjoy a long soak. Both dinner and breakfast were satisfying. In particular, the shabu-shabu meat was outstanding, and it paired perfectly with the citrus-scented ponzu sauce. The steamed white rice had a natural sweetness and was very delicious. The staff were warm and welcoming, making our stay comfortable. One concern was the smoking environment. Although the guest Rooms are non-smoking, there is a smoking area in the hallway, so cigarette smoke drifted into the Room. As a non-smoker, this was disappointing and was my only complaint. Overall, it was an Accommodation with a high level of satisfaction. It had an authentic Ryokan atmosphere that you can’t experience at a large Hotel, allowing us to fully enjoy our trip.

I stayed during the late-snow season. I had visited once a long time ago, and this time I stayed for one night to relax and spend some quiet time in Ohara. Perhaps because of the season, I had the Onsen all to myself both morning and evening. The meals were Japanese-style, just how I like them: chicken hot pot for dinner, and simmered fish for breakfast with plenty of rice accompaniments. The chicken hot pot was delicious, and comparing different miso flavors made the rice go down even easier. The table layout was calm and comfortable, set so you can look out at the garden without feeling other guests’ eyes on you. Thanks to the kind advice from the young proprietress, I visited a temple she recommended the next day. There is quite a bit of self-service in the Room, but it didn’t bother me. The Accommodation also felt like great value, and I’d love to return every year around this time.
