Satoyama Auberge & Onsen Wellness Spa Sakuragaike Kua Garden

My parents stayed here because they had been interested in it for a while. Since it was a weekday, it was fairly quiet and they were able to relax. They were also happy that other older guests were using the pool too, so they felt comfortable using it without hesitation, and they said the food was beautifully presented and delicious!

On the second day of our trip, we took it easy and arrived in about an hour from Himi. Before check-in, we strolled around Sakuragaike and felt refreshed by nature. This Plan came with great perks—an upgraded Room, free ice cream, a drink with dinner, free swimsuit rental, and 12:00 check-out—so it was an excellent value! The Room was spacious, with cute wallpaper, and the walk-in closet had plenty of hangers. After entering the lobby, there were furnishings on the right by the restaurant that perfectly matched our taste, and the high, bright ceiling chandelier on the left near the front desk was also wonderful. Since check-in is at 14:00, we headed straight to the pool and enjoyed it to the fullest—it was truly relaxing! After that we went to the large public bath. Each time you use it you can get a full set of towels, and guests can also borrow slightly higher-grade shampoo and other amenities, so it was very convenient not having to bring anything from the Room. For dinner we chose French cuisine; it was beautifully presented and delicious. We also enjoyed the Japanese breakfast served in a basket-style arrangement the next morning. With late check-out we could really take our time—we even went back to both the pool and baths after lunch. It’s conveniently located right next to a smart interchange.
