Hitoyoshi Onsen Nabeya (Formerly: Nabeya Main Building)

We stayed in a Japanese-Western style room for three people. The exterior and shared areas were very clean, but there were a few disappointing points. First, there was no ceiling light in the Western-style room. Perhaps because it is a bedroom, but two of the three guests were elderly this time. A bed is not used only for sleeping. Since it can be difficult to stand up from sitting on tatami, we wanted to sit on the bed to chat or watch TV if there was no sofa, but it felt too dim. Another point—also from the perspective of elderly guests—was that the steamed rice seemed hard. The location right in front of the Kuma River was excellent, and the staff were wonderful, so overall we would say we were mostly satisfied. Thank you for your hospitality.

"Spending New Year's relaxing in an Onsen" was my mother's long-held wish, as she was always busy taking care of the family during the holidays. We decided to visit "Nabeya," a place we had been to before and loved. Both the meals and the Onsen were just as wonderful as we had hoped. The two dinners were exceptional, and for breakfast during the New Year, they served traditional Osechi dishes and Ozoni soup, which delighted my mother immensely. She enjoyed it all so much. The wheelchair we borrowed made everything more convenient, and their thoughtful support was greatly appreciated. From the kind words of the proprietress to all of the staff's warmth, everything touched our hearts deeply. I feel grateful for being able to make my mother happy—it truly became a wonderful start to the year!
