Tokine no Yado Yumushi Ichijo

I stayed here for the first time in decades, bringing my parents along. The draft beer welcome drink was perfect after arriving in the heat and helped us relax right away. Our Room was spacious, bright, and very comfortable, and the pleasant music playing when we entered made us feel truly welcomed.We were able to enjoy both Onsen baths at a leisurely pace without running into many other guests. The Onsen on the lower floor in particular had excellent water quality, and the ice cream after bathing was delicious. Both dinner and breakfast featured many local ingredients, and everything—vegetables, seafood, and meat—was wonderful. I was especially impressed by the shelled gazami uni (sea urchin), which is hard to find in the Kanto area. Before dinner, we were also shown around the wooden dining building; it was outstanding, and I hope it will be carefully preserved for years to come. After dinner we had drinks at the bar, where the calm atmosphere made it easy to unwind.From check-in to being driven back to the station on departure day, everyone—including the proprietress and all staff—was courteous with just the right sense of distance. It was a truly satisfying stay, and I would love to return.

This was my No. 1 place I wanted to revisit with my mother, and we came back again.We truly appreciated how you gently guided us at a relaxed pace—escorting us along the shortest route from our Room to the bath and dining area, offering a supportive hand and kind words.The meals were outstanding; everything was delicious and deeply moving.In particular, the dinner dish “Maru eggplant Yoshino-ni with eel” had an exquisite balance of flavors and tenderness, and we enjoyed it very much.The Onsen, the food, the Room—and above all, the warm hospitality of everyone from the Shuttle Service driver to all staff—were simply exceptional.Thank you very much.
