Takimotokan Yukinosato

This summer, I wanted to relax in an Onsen for at least a day, so I stayed at this Accommodation located a little over an hour by train from Nagoya. Perhaps because it sits on slightly higher ground, the mornings and evenings were cooler than in central Nagoya, and I could also enjoy a beautiful night view—making for a wonderful stay. If I had brought insect repellent spray and binoculars, I think I could have relaxed even more on the balcony while enjoying the night view during the evening-to-night hours when mosquitoes are around. Next time I visit in summer, I’ll be sure to bring them. I was also very happy to be able to enjoy alcohol—white wine in my Room and a tasting of local sake with dinner. By the way, there was a slight smell when I first entered the Room (I couldn’t tell what it was), but once I started using the air purifier it didn’t bother me, so it wasn’t an issue. The Room had drinks such as coffee, sencha green tea, and herbal tea, and there was even incense prepared in the alcove—I truly had a great time.

The Room, Onsen, and meals were all wonderful. The view from the open-air bath in the Room was especially unforgettable. The small rice balls prepared as a late-night snack and the cold water in the Room also reminded me of Japanese hospitality for the first time in a while.I have visited many Onsen Ryokan, but I was able to relax and enjoy a quiet stay here.Thank you to all the staff. I would love to visit again.
