Auberge Kiyosato: Restaurant & Hotel to Savor the Blessings of Yatsugatake

I’ve stayed here several times, and I don’t think there’s any other Accommodation like this.I experienced something similar once in Switzerland, but I’ve never come across anything like it in Japan.It’s the kind of Facility that could seem almost too ambitious—like the sort of place you build and then it gradually deteriorates—but instead, it’s an incredible space,with amazing wood-fire cooking,and above all, a truly wonderful setting where you can freely enjoy a campfire.I genuinely have so much respect for what you’ve created!And on top of that, Kiyosato is one of Japan’s best resort areas for fresh air.This was a new discovery for me:When coming from central Tokyo to Kiyosato,do you usually drive all the way?This time I took the Azusa to Kofu Station and then rented a car from there,and it was honestly perfect!So I’d love to stay with you again very soon.Thank you for such a truly wonderful Accommodation!By the way, I especially recommend the villa.

We stayed during the Obon holiday period.We fully enjoyed the wood-fired cuisine and plenty of delicious wine.We were surprised to be served two fish dishes and two meat dishes, but the vegetables were exceptionally good and felt like the star of the meal.The by-the-glass wines were also selected to match each dish, and we were very satisfied.We could also enjoy Suntory Hakushu, making this an unbeatable place for food and drinks.The Room has cute interior decor, but it has a unit bath and only minimal amenities.Rather than luxury in the Room, you’ll feel fulfilled by relaxing over great meals and enjoying the Facility’s wonderful outdoor living space.Thanks to the local climate it was very cool, making it comfortable even in summer.There is a picture-book museum nearby as well as chocolate shops, and if you go a little farther you can visit a whisky distillery and a sake brewery, so sightseeing is enjoyable too.
