I visited Narai-juku for sightseeing and stayed at Koma-no-Yu. It is a secluded hot spring, and the surroundings are quiet. The forest bathing was soothing. Koma-no-Yu puts great care into the cuisine and offers many dishes, and everything I tried was delicious. The refined seasoning made for a highly satisfying meal.

I’d been keeping an eye on this place as a summer getaway I wanted to visit someday, and I finally made it this time. It happened to be a day when temperatures had dropped across the whole country, so I wondered if it might not feel much like a cool retreat—but it was cold enough to need a jacket. The air was incredibly fresh, and I took lots of deep breaths on the balcony. It truly felt amazing—I finally understood what people mean by “the air tastes delicious.” The Room was carefully prepared and very comfortable. And the meal served at the counter felt wonderfully luxurious; with the reassuring comfort of being able to go straight to bed afterward, even the drinks tasted better. The free drinks in the lobby were also great for relaxing while enjoying the view. The weather wasn’t perfect, but we could still gaze at the stars at night, and by morning we had a beautiful view of Mt. Ontake as well. It was a lovely place that I would definitely like to visit again.

Even if you arrive after your scheduled check-in time, if you have a No Meals Included plan there is no need to contact them as long as it’s by 22:00, which is very convenient. You can truly hear the babbling stream and wild birds. It’s a small Hotel, and I felt the large public bath was fairly spacious. The front desk staff were extremely pleasant, and even after the shop had closed, they kindly sold me corn ice cream from the ice cream workshop at the front desk. The staff also looked out for our luggage—this is a very attentive and comfortable Accommodation. Since we were leaving early in the morning, I really appreciated being able to have De’Longhi coffee from the free drink service before heading out.

Booked a great-value room at the last minute. There is an Onsen, free tea in the lobby, and all the staff were very helpful. They also introduced us to the stone-paved streets of Ochiai, which made our trip very fulfilling. Thank you.

This was my first solo trip, and I visited Kiso. From Kiso-Fukushima Station, a community bus runs with a flat fare of 200 yen no matter how far you ride, so I was fine without a car. They even picked me up at the bus stop, and I was truly grateful for the warm hospitality from the couple. Every dish was absolutely delicious. I had the view from the window all to myself—it was a luxurious day. The Room, bath, and toilet were all very clean and comfortable.

We planned to visit Kamikochi the next day and looked for Accommodation in Matsumoto City, but gave up because it coincided with the Suwa Lake fireworks festival. We found this Accommodation closer to Kamikochi; it was a little off our route, but my wife—who is very particular about Facilities and cleanliness—praised it highly. Our friends traveling with us were satisfied as well. The only disappointment was that the bath felt a bit small when five women used it at the same time, perhaps due to the Accommodation’s capacity. Breakfast was delicious, and we enjoyed a very calm overnight stay. We would like to thank everyone at the Accommodation.

This time, as it was for skiing, I intentionally chose a very simple Room, so I apologize for not being able to give a high rating. I deeply appreciate the excellent service and meals provided at a very high level. Next time, I will take my time to enjoy my stay. Thank you very much.

While visiting Kamikochi, we decided to extend our trip to the Kisoji area and made a last-minute Reservation. It was a small Accommodation, but it had a lovely atmosphere, and we enjoyed the bath several times. The sukiyaki beef at dinner was delicious. We also enjoyed the Kisoji area, and it turned into a wonderful trip.

The facility was operated by a young male and female staff on that day, so I didn't have high expectations for the food, but it was surprisingly delicious. The open-air bath offers a view of a birch tree grove, and the lukewarm water allows for a relaxing long soak. Great value for money, and I would love to visit again.
