IORI STAY HIDA

This was our first trip with our dog, and we were able to stay very comfortably.There was a large crate, a large toilet tray, and ceramic bowls for food and water—more than enough space for a small dog.It gave us peace of mind even when we went out during dinner time leaving our dog behind. Supplies such as pee pads were also provided, and the thoughtful attention really showed.The stairs are steep, so our dog was confused at first, but quickly got used to them and seemed to enjoy exploring. The entryway step-down area is also nice.There’s a small garden in the back as well, which feels relaxing.We stayed as a family of four, and with the spacious living area plus complimentary drinks such as delicious coffee, tea, alcohol, and sparkling water available, we were able to unwind at ease.The bathroom was the smallest I’ve ever seen (in a good way), but from a space-planning perspective it felt very efficient—I was impressed by the designer’s skill.As a shower room for international guests it’s more than sufficient, but for Japanese guests it might have been even better if there had been a wash bucket.If you’d like to soak in a bath slowly, there is an onsen nearby that may be a better option.My husband and son said that onsen was excellent.As others have mentioned, the blinds in the main bedroom are stylish but don’t completely block out streetlight glare,so it may be inconvenient for anyone who needs total darkness to sleep. It might be nice to have an additional blackout blind as well.Breakfast had gentle flavors; the rice served in an ohitsu container was delicious too—I ended up having seconds.The concierge kindly shared what makes Hida-Furukawa special with us, which made our short stay truly memorable.We also visited several temples—their architecture was impressive and fascinating.It’s such a calm and beautiful town. We’d love to come back again for the festival in April.

The staff, Facility, and meals were all beyond expectations and absolutely wonderful. There was a wide variety of welcome drinks, along with a coffee maker and tea provided. We also enjoyed welcome sweets, including daifuku. For breakfast, we had Japanese cuisine, which was surprisingly delicious. Every side dish was so tasty that we wished for more rice! It was such a delightful experience. We would love to stay here again!
