After dinner, when we stepped outside, it was pitch-dark—only the sounds of insects and the flowing river. The mountain view wrapped in morning mist was truly beautiful, and this Accommodation was incredibly relaxing. Every time, I enjoy looking for a Hotel with Rooms that make my family say “Wow!”—and this time, of course, they did. Seeing the exterior, they said they never expected such a beautiful Room (laugh). Before our stay, we received a phone call about road closures and allergies; everyone was so kind that even before arriving, I already wanted to come back. The meals also reflected the cook’s kindness—everything served warm was freshly made and delicious. We couldn’t finish everything and ended up leaving some of the kamameshi rice. They kindly offered to make rice balls for us, but we were truly too full so we declined. It was very tasty, but there were really so many dishes that if upgrading meant slightly smaller portions and perhaps one more type of sashimi instead, that would be wonderful. The bath was also great, but the shower position was too high, and I wished there had been cold water available after getting out. If it were closer to home, it’s an Accommodation I’d want to visit every year.

This was my first stay at this Hotel, which offers the special opportunity to take part in Eiheiji’s zazen meditation and morning service. I was deeply moved by the cleansing, uplifting experience. In the stillness of early morning at Eiheiji, the crisp air filled the temple grounds; seeing so many trainee monks perform their service with such care, and the beauty of moss illuminated by the morning sun—these were all sights you can only experience because you are there so early, and because you stay overnight. I’m truly glad I came. The meals were also wonderful; even without meat or fish, I was completely satisfied by how delicious the vegetables were. The Room and bath were clean and well maintained, everything was spotless, and everyone at the Accommodation greeted us with warm smiles and attentive service—making this a trip I will never forget.

The meals were truly outstanding. The sake pairings were also excellent. This is an Accommodation I definitely want to return to for the first time in a while.

A Tyrannosaurus at the entrance, and dinosaurs at the front desk really excited us. The Room was spacious, with a large bathroom, quiet and comfortable for our stay. Thank you very much!

We stayed in a glamping dome that allows dogs. There was a restroom in the building right next door, and although we were worried it might be inconvenient, it wasn’t a problem at all. Since it’s all-inclusive, we could enjoy drinks without holding back (lol). For a limited time only, they took us by bus at night to see an area with large numbers of fireflies, which was wonderful. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, and after dinner we roasted marshmallows over the campfire! The thoughtful hospitality from the international staff was also great. We’d love to come again.
