Although the weather felt like the rainy season had returned, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the observation room (Gekko).
Because the building is located on a hill, we had a clear view of the Shimanto River and the surrounding mountains.
The Onsen water was excellent, with a slightly silky texture.
For dinner we chose Sawachi cuisine featuring local dishes, and this time it was served as individual small plates rather than one large platter.
Overall, I think it was a truly wonderful Accommodation.
However, please drive carefully—the Accommodation is reached only after an extremely winding mountain road (narrow roads).
Also, although it looks like it’s only about 5 minutes to town (convenience stores, etc.) on the map,
as mentioned above it’s up in the mountains, so at night it’s pitch-dark and very dangerous!
If you want to bring alcohol or cigarettes (the smoking area is outside the building), I recommend buying them before check-in.
One more thing: they lend you samue loungewear, and it was made from incredibly comfortable fabric—perfect to wear.
(If they sold it, I definitely would have bought it! It really was that comfortable.)
I’ve stayed at several places near the Shimanto River before,
and I can genuinely recommend this one.
Lastly, thank you very much to all of the staff.
