My elderly mother, her friend, and I (her daughter) started a deli one year ago.
This time, we stayed here for our 1st anniversary staff trip.
I deliberately didn’t tell my mother and her friend what kind of ryokan it was, so they were amazed by the surprise from the moment we arrived.
Starting with the comfortable shuttle ride from Izu-Nagaoka Station, everything was wonderful—the entrance lobby space, the garden, the hot springs, the room, and the meals. Every moment was truly exceptional.
Not only was the large public bath great, but the bath in our room was also fantastic!
Even though my mother and her friend usually eat small portions, they ate a lot that day. And although we tend to be short on exercise in everyday life, we were able to walk a lot while exploring around the property.
It felt like my heart, body—and stomach—were all completely satisfied.
We made unforgettable memories. Thank you so much for such a wonderful time.
As someone who loves architecture, next time I’d love to come back with someone who shares that interest. I’d also love to see your garden in autumn colors and try staying in a different room as well.
