I’ve stayed at many Accommodations, but this one felt truly original and made for a memorable stay. The meals were on the smaller side, but everything was delicious—local specialties and unique dishes using wild mountain vegetables, all carefully prepared with locally sourced ingredients. For breakfast, I also enjoyed the signature white rice along with a wide variety of toppings to go with it. As others have mentioned, the Onsen has a distinctive aroma and very salty water, and I’m glad I visited for that experience as well. One point for improvement: I wanted to enjoy the high-quality bath multiple times, but since we had to bring the bath towel from the Room each time, we ended up reusing the same one repeatedly. It would be great if bath towels were also provided in the public bath area.

Mr./Ms. Chitose stayed with us for the third time this year. One of this Accommodation’s highlights is the meals, but above all, it’s the quality of the hot spring water. We look forward to visiting again.
