五岛RETREAT ray by 温故知新

The location was outstanding above all else. The in-room bath was an Onsen, and the view was so incredible that I could have stayed in it forever without wanting to leave. The Room was a perfect size and felt very clean. The meals were excellent, and I was very satisfied with both breakfast and dinner. There wasn’t any particular dress code inside the property, and it was fine to dine in loungewear, which made for a very relaxing stay.We joined the optional stargazing guide tour, but unfortunately Mt. Onidake—the planned observation spot—was covered by clouds so we couldn’t observe there. However, the guide quickly took us to another location, and we were able to see a wonderful starry sky. We enjoyed the Milky Way and summer constellations with the naked eye.The only disappointing thing was that there was a used tissue left in the pocket of the loungewear provided in our Room—apparently from a previous guest. I wonder if they didn’t check the pockets during cleaning…I also became curious about other Onko Chishin properties, so I went ahead and signed up for membership (lol).

After seeing it in a magazine, I’d been wanting to visit for two years, and I finally got to stay here.It was an even more wonderful stay than I had imagined.The meals were delicious, with plenty of local ingredients.I’ll definitely be back!
