In winter, you get out of the car before reaching the Accommodation and walk the last few minutes to it. It surprised me at first, but the moment the sound of cars fades and only snow and the river remain is truly memorable. Rather than feeling inconvenient, it feels like a quiet shift away from everyday life. Inside the building, water keeps running to prevent freezing, reminding you that people are living here deep in the winter mountains. There were even a few insects that had woken up from hibernation, but they weren’t causing any trouble—it felt like they were simply part of this place. The Onsen is more comfortable if you let your body adjust before soaking rather than rushing in, and the fine sand on the bottom of the bath felt fresh against my soles. Unlike an overly polished Onsen, it really makes you feel immersed in nature. The tofu served at night had a gentle flavor, but the freshly made tofu in the morning had a slight bitterness that actually stayed with me. It felt like tasting the local water and soybeans as they are. At breakfast, they also shared a recommended way to enjoy tamago kake gohan: mix only the egg white first, pour it over rice, then place the yolk on top—trying it was a fun moment. I found myself wondering how long it had been since I last laid out my own futon; I was surprisingly good at it and felt quietly satisfied. Even using an unfamiliar type of Room key felt refreshingly different. When you turn off the lights it becomes truly pitch-dark; even waiting for your eyes to adjust feels pleasant, and in the morning I naturally woke up to light filtering through shoji screens. This time it was about a five-minute walk from where we parked; if I’d left my smartphone in the car too, I might have experienced an even slower sense of time. Many guests were not only families but also solo travelers, which made it especially memorable that I could relax comfortably on my own. In everyday life there aren’t many chances to remember this kind of pace—but once you visit, it’s a place that somehow feels easy to settle into.

The building features German architecture with meticulous craftsmanship down to the smallest details, and the striking fireplace is lit with logs at dinnertime, soothing you with the gentle crackle and flicker of the flames. The meals were also outstanding French cuisine. The tableware and cutlery are excellent as well, making the dining experience even better. Elegant Lladró pieces add a touch of color to the Room. In every respect, you can truly feel the host’s heartfelt hospitality.

Among the dinner and breakfast buffets, the salad vegetables, Jersey milk, and desserts such as milk pudding were especially delicious. I was disappointed that I couldn’t try everything. In the lobby, a wood-burning stove was lit even in summer, and the crackling sound was very soothing. Although I didn’t try it myself, families with children were roasting marshmallows on skewers over the stove. It was a relaxing one-night, two-day stay for both body and mind.

This accommodation is highly recommended for a multiple night stay. One night is simply not enough. There are plenty of experiences to enjoy, such as cooking in a fully equipped kitchen, gathering herbs on the property, watching movies with a projector, reading books available in the room, grinding and brewing your own coffee beans, and sitting by the campfire. During this visit, I stayed for one night and felt reluctant to leave. I promised my friends that we would definitely come back again. The open space with high ceilings and large windows was incredibly pleasant. Next time, I plan to stay longer to enjoy drawing, knitting, reading books, relaxing in the sauna, or taking walks. This is the perfect place to escape from the busyness of city life and take time to reconnect with yourself—highly recommended!

It was our first stay for one night and two days. We booked the day before and visited. Just as many reviews said the food was delicious, everything was truly amazing, and I went back for seconds (and more) again and again. There was a great variety of play equipment for kids, and my 5-year-old daughter was thrilled! The bath and sauna were also excellent. It’s only about two hours from Tokyo, so it makes me want to come back again soon!

Outstanding hospitality—this is a wonderful Hotel! When my elderly father choked on a piece of steak at the restaurant, the staff rushed over immediately and supported me as I helped him, and thankfully he was fine. To the staff member who ran to us in that critical moment, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude once again. And the food is incredibly delicious! Each dish is rich in flavor and makes the most of the ingredients. Even my father, who had choked, finished all of his remaining meat, and our whole family enjoyed the desserts as well—everyone agreed they were delicious. I often hesitate to travel with my elderly parents who require nursing care certification, but we were able to stay together in one Room for four people, and this Hotel made me want to bring my parents again. We will visit again when we have the chance. Thank you very much.

We stayed during two days of heavy rain, but the indoor dog run was very spacious, so our dogs could run around to their hearts’ content. The Room was also clean and comfortable, making for a pleasant stay. However, it was a bit inconvenient that the washbasin area is located by the open-air bath, and since the sofa faces outside rather than the TV, we could only watch TV from the bed, which was a little disappointing. The meals were delicious, but there was a lot of meat in the appetizers, and with both fish and meat for the main course as well, we ended up eating quite a lot. The outdoor dog run we couldn’t use due to the rain also looked spacious, and the staff who maintain the course kindly greeted us, so it felt like a dog run we could use with peace of mind. There are plenty of walking paths too, and we’d love to visit again when the weather is clear.

I’d been wanting to stay here, and I truly enjoyed it in great spirits. It was a calm and happy stay. The books in the Room were wonderful, too! I was also very pleased with the various perks at Moegi no Mura!

A friend recommended Kiyosato to me, and my long-awaited 3-night, 4-day stay during the Obon holiday finally came true. We were very well taken care of at Country Inn Orchard. The owner welcomed us warmly, and everything—from the meals to the interior design—was beautiful, making our memories in Kiyosato truly unforgettable. By the time I boarded the train out of Kiyosato on the last day, I already wanted to come back again soon. Thank you very much!

This stay included a piano solo concert. This Hotel is a cool, green retreat away from the hot city. The hospitality and dinner were excellent, and five female friends joined together. At dinner, we ordered a bottle of red wine for the first time to pair with the delicious food and finished it all—making it a wonderful memory.

All guests were dog families, so the atmosphere was very comfortable, and everyone had good manners when interacting with one another, allowing us to relax without worry even on a rainy day.

For vacations of two days or more, I choose a vacation rental rather than a Hotel or an Onsen Ryokan. From my experience with several rentals, prices and the quality of Facility management vary widely depending on the operator. This property is well maintained with no musty smell inside, towels can be replaced if you go to the management office yourself, the price is reasonable, and the area is quiet—I'd happily stay here again.

The full panorama of the Yatsugatake Mountains was beautifully visible from the window, and the small birds that came to the birch trees were soothing. Since the price was casual, I didn’t expect much from the meals, but the beef was tender and flavorful, and both the enoki mushroom tempura and whole grilled trout marinated in miso were surprisingly delicious. The staff were also very pleasant. With wonderful views and food, this was an Accommodation I would visit again and again if it were closer. I don’t usually write a Review, but this time I felt I had to write one to say thank you.

The staff’s heartfelt hospitality. An Onsen that hot-spring lovers can’t resist (the water seems highly therapeutic, but you can’t stay in too long—so even during Golden Week, I was able to enjoy it almost privately). Above all, the food was incredibly delicious—wonderful dishes that felt nourishing and full of nature’s blessings! I’d love to come back just to eat those amazing soba noodles again. (I can’t forget how delicious the warm dipping broth with rich chicken stock was.)

I was a little worried that, because the capacity is small, it might feel lonely, but it wasn’t an issue at all. In fact, we didn’t have to worry about neighbors, and it was wonderful to see the open fields and wide sky, Mt. Kitadake in the distance, and even catch a glimpse of the train passing by. The game-meat BBQ was delicious—both the meat and vegetables—and we were able to relax by the campfire under the night sky. Our whole family had a very satisfying holiday.

Our first four-generation trip was so enjoyable and comfortable that we returned for the first time in three years. The lush natural scenery through the large windows is wonderful, and opening the windows in the morning to feel the refreshing highland breeze helps us recharge every time. The children were completely absorbed in playing with the toys in the kids’ Room. The living room, bedroom, and each Room were all kept very clean, and with high-quality cooking appliances, cookware, and nearly all amenities provided, we could stay in great comfort. Above all, the owners are such a lovely couple that our trip becomes an even more special memory. We would love to stay again next year.

Stay with two meals included. The breakfast bread, praised in other reviews, exceeded expectations with its deliciousness. The walnut and red bean bread was soft and flavorful. Dinner was also excellent, starting with the scallop ajillo; every dish served was so tasty that everything was finished. As we were the only guests this time, it was quiet and very comfortable to stay in such a peaceful environment. Would love to visit again if given the opportunity.

We stayed on a breakfast-only Plan. The bathtub in our Room was spacious, and there was a great variety of shampoo and bath additives, so we were able to relax and take our time. For breakfast, they generously prepared local vegetables, yogurt, fruit, and plenty of freshly baked bread from a nearby bakery. Everything was delicious, and we ate a lot. The owner and his daughter chatted with us in a friendly way and even showed our child the many picture books they have. It’s a very homey Hotel, and we ended up staying longer than planned. When we travel to this area again, we would definitely like to stay here.

Our first pension stay as a couple was at “Princess Edward,” and it truly feels like a calming dream space. This was our third repeat visit. We are sincerely grateful to the owner for the consistently kind hospitality. The Facility is kept extremely clean, and we were very satisfied with the spacious toilets and family bath. Delicious breakfast bread and fresh salad—everything was excellent. We heard it will be closing in November, so we have made a Reservation for the final day. It’s sad, but my wife and I are looking forward to staying on that last day. Thank you again for taking such great care of us, and we look forward to seeing you again in November.

I found this Accommodation and made a Reservation the day before my stay. I loved the atmosphere, and headed to Yatsugatake with no Plan, hoping to relax. When I arrived, the owner was out walking the dogs, which immediately put me at ease. Once inside, his friendly wife welcomed me warmly, and I felt comfortable right away. Every dish at dinner had a gentle, natural flavor, and the portions were generous. Breakfast was a salad full of fresh highland vegetables. The bread was delicious too. Even though it was just a last-minute one-night stay, it turned into exactly the trip I’d hoped for—rich and fulfilling. Since I had no Plan, I really appreciated all their helpful suggestions about nearby sights. I wanted to see Yatsugatake’s starry night sky, but unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate. The owner showed me stunning photos he had taken while hiking—truly breathtaking. I was amazed that the Milky Way could be that beautiful. They were precious photos. At night, surrounded by nature, I slept very comfortably. When it was time to leave, both dogs came out to see me off, and we even took photos together—I’ll treasure them. This was a special Accommodation that I would absolutely love to stay at again! Thank you very much!
