I stayed one night on the “A Little Luxury! Spiny Lobster, Abalone, and Shimane Wagyu—A Kaiseki Feast Packed with All of Shimane’s Gourmet Delights!” Plan. As the name suggests, dinner was truly lavish. In addition to spiny lobster, abalone, and Shimane Wagyu, I was able to enjoy a wide variety of delicious local specialties from Shimane all at once. There were plenty of dishes, each one carefully prepared, and everything was delicious right through to the end. If you’re thinking, “Since I’m in Shimane anyway, I want to eat lots of great food,” this is a Plan I highly recommend. I booked my stay looking forward to dinner, and it exceeded my expectations—I was completely satisfied. Not only the food but also the staff’s hospitality was wonderful, and I had a very comfortable stay. Their service was polite yet relaxed and never felt stiff, which left a great impression. Both the cuisine and service were flawless—an Accommodation that genuinely made me think, “I want to stay here again.” Thank you to everyone at Senjoen for such a pleasant time. Some photos are missing because I got so absorbed in eating that I forgot to take them.

I stayed here on a solo trip. I loved the location nestled in the forest and the charming atmosphere of the traditional old house. I saw lots of stag beetles, which gave me a great story to share with my kids waiting at home.

The Room we stayed in was very spacious. The bedroom and a separate lounge area with a sofa were divided into two spaces. Having an indoor bath that we could enjoy as many times as we liked at any time was wonderful. Both the Japanese breakfast and dinner were delicious. One small disappointment was that there were no extra amenity towels provided. At times, trash had not been cleared away in the tasting corner. However, overall it is a very clean Hotel, the hot water is excellent, and the meals were satisfying, so we would definitely like to stay again.

This Accommodation sits at the highest point of Arifuku Onsen in Gotsu City, Shimane Prefecture. I stayed here eight years ago and returned this time. It used to be a historic, retro inn, but after the renovation it has been transformed into a wonderful Onsen Accommodation that beautifully blends tasteful interiors with a nostalgic atmosphere. Dinner was a full-course meal at a nearby Italian restaurant included in the Plan. Despite being stylish, they also provided chopsticks, and every dish was carefully prepared with delicate seasoning—everything was truly delicious. Breakfast was also very good, though I would have liked one more side dish (such as dried fish). The Onsen water has a silky, slightly slippery feel—perhaps that’s why it’s known as “beautifying” water. I’ve visited many hot spring areas, but this texture is quite rare. There is also a glass window in the dining room floor where you can see the source spring. On Saturday nights, it seems you can watch Iwami Kagura at the nearby Kagura hall just steps from the Accommodation. Unfortunately, my stay wasn’t on a Saturday so I couldn’t see it, but next time I’d like to make my Reservation for a Saturday.

It was my first time visiting Shimane Prefecture, and thanks to this hotel and its wonderful staff, I had an amazing stay. They kindly accommodated my last-minute breakfast request, and were always happy to chat, share recommendations, and teach me about Hamada. They also informed me about a Kagura performance, which was spectacular and will remain a treasured memory. The room was comfortable, the location was great, and the breakfast was delicious! The warmhearted staff were the highlight of my trip. I hope to return someday.
