Shiobara Onsen Kouunsou

This was my second visit, following my stay last autumn. The staff are pleasant, and the meals—vegetable-focused—suit me very well at my age. The tableware is also beautiful. The bath was wonderful too, with a pleasantly silky feel to the water. As I was staying with my elderly mother, a Ryokan of this size is ideal. The Hasami-yaki rice bowls in the shop are so cute that I end up buying something every time. I’d love to stay again in autumn. Thank you very much.

This is my third stay in this area. Honestly, the entrance felt a bit old, so I didn’t have high expectations until entering the room, but the room was clean and spacious. The bath was great with an open-air bath and sauna of just the right size and temperature to my liking. Above all, the meals were extremely satisfying. I usually go for buffets, but this time there were many dishes that were carefully prepared and filling. For breakfast, I even had seconds of rice and left completely full. Next time, I’d like to try a plan with meat dishes!
