สถานีคิโซะ-ฮิราซาวะ × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่ได้รับการจัดอันดับสูง

I visited on the 17th and 18th of last week for a refresh vacation. When I arrived, there were so many people along the Narai-juku street that it was difficult to make my way in. The garden outside my Room was spacious and could be enjoyed from the floor-to-ceiling window, creating a calm atmosphere where time seemed to slow down. I was able to spend some quiet, relaxing moments. Both the food and drinks were absolutely delicious! I was also very satisfied with the dinner pairing—the selections matched perfectly. Personally, one dish featuring locally grown vegetables and the gin and tonic served as part of the pairing were especially memorable! The staff at BYAKU Narai were easy to talk to, and I really enjoyed our conversations—it became a wonderful memory. This time I missed out on trying the whisky, so next time I’d like to make sure I don’t forget. I also forgot to buy a bottle for home (haha).

This was my first stay at this Hotel in exactly 30 years. While the interior shows some age, the staff were efficient and pleasant. The Hotel is located on a hill, and we enjoyed the peaceful surrounding scenery from the Room and the open-air bath. The meals were not extravagant, but dinner was served as a kaiseki course and was delicious. The indoor bath was quite hot, so it was hard to relax, but the open-air bath was at a comfortable temperature, and there was also a tub fed by a cooler natural hot spring source where we could soak leisurely. Considering the Accommodation Fee, I felt this Accommodation offered excellent value for money.

We stayed for one night from July 17 in a K-type log cabin in the main building with one dog. The entrance door lock was a little difficult to use. The Room was very clean, and it had a washlet toilet and air conditioning, so we were very comfortable. We ordered the BBQ set, and it was delicious. We also used the outdoor bath, which felt great. We would definitely like to stay again.

The Accommodation’s atmosphere and the staff were excellent. We were also happy to enjoy freshly harvested mountain delicacies. We would love to visit again.

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.

This was the best cottage I have ever stayed at. The surrounding environment, customer service, Onsen, and everything else were excellent, offering great overall value for money. The cottages are spaced out just right, allowing for a pleasant and relaxing time. The only downsides I noticed were that the BBQ grill (U-shaped groove) was too high, making it far from the charcoal and requiring adjustments, and that since an IH stove is used, only compatible kettles could be used while non-compatible ones could not. The galette I tried for the first time was also delicious. I will definitely stay here again. Thank you very much!
