Saginoyu Inn

Thank you very much for your hospitality. Your attentive service and the tea in your lovely garden were wonderful. The Onsen was also very relaxing. We were able to use the private family bath as well, and had a truly restful stay. I caused you trouble due to my misunderstanding, but I really appreciated how kindly and properly you handled it. Being right next to the Adachi Museum of Art also allowed us to enjoy the museum at a leisurely pace. We would love to visit again.

I stayed here the night before my first visit to the Adachi Museum of Art. When I arrived at the Hotel and parked, a staff member came out to greet me at the entrance and casually offered to carry my luggage—I was impressed right away. Then, while enjoying a coffee, I checked in and received an explanation of the facilities. Everything felt comfortable and never overbearing. When I was looking at the large koi in the garden, they even kindly gave me some feed as well... The Room was on the first floor with a private open-air bath. Since I wanted to use it before dinner, I went in right away while looking out over the beautifully maintained garden. Dinner was served in a private dining room with a full view of the garden, and I could tell they were thoughtfully timing each dish to match my pace. From greeting me on arrival through dinner service, one male staff member took care of everything; he kindly shared various information about Shimane and about Saginoyu-so (such as swans and fireflies), making it a very enjoyable meal (I regret that I forgot to ask his name). The next morning, I enjoyed another bath before breakfast, then had breakfast in the large hall—the overnight-dried fish was delicious as well. For my main目的—the Adachi Museum of Art—there is an Accommodation guest benefit that allows entry from 8:30 a.m., so I visited after checking out. Being able to enter early let me fully enjoy photographing and viewing the gardenscapes, paintings, and artworks at my leisure. However, around 9:30 a.m., several tour buses arrived one after another, and it quickly became crowded with many people. In closing, staying at Saginoyu-so was truly comfortable. It has become an Accommodation I would love to visit again—perhaps during firefly season next time.
