The food, the people, and the service are amazing. wonderful.The inside of the hotel is also beautifully maintained and very nice.The only thing that seemed to be balanced in the room for some reason, it didn't make any sense.Specifically, although it sells itself as a semi-open-air bath, the window does not close (there are only three windows instead of four), and the so-called spacious veranda adjacent to the bed room is designed to give the Rosanjin flavor. I think it was boarded up, but there were quite a few gaps in the board (I thought insects could get in there), so I ended up not using it.The bathroom was also a two-tiered bathtub with a free-flowing bath, but there was a mysterious space (about 5 tatami mats) that I didn't know what it was going to be used for, and I often felt that the renovation had changed the concept to something I didn't really understand. I understand.As mentioned above, the inside of the building itself has a good sense of unity, but I felt that the rooms were lacking.

Yamashiro Onsen's oldest and highest innUsing the Hokuriku support discount, I was able to stay for 60,000 yen instead of 100,000 yen per night.Without travel support, it would be extremely unaffordable.The best thing was the three bath facilities.I entered all of them because the genders were swapped depending on the time zone.The Yamashiro No. 1 source was being fed directly and was causing overflow.It's obviously expensive to build, so you can enjoy the hot springs in the best mood.Half of the 18 rooms have open-air baths (flowing directly from the source). I stayed in the public bath many times because it was a regular room without one.I was almost completely reserved by myself lolAmong them, Karasu no Yu is the best!Alternate between lukewarm and boiling water.Truly the best!and it's great foodUnfashionable items such as tempura and chawanmushi will not be served.The food was like nothing I've ever had at any other ryokan.Perfect kaiseki from appetizer to 8sunIt was the KaisekiUnusual for Yamashiro Onsen, check-in time is 2pm and check-out time is 11am, so we had a relaxing time.Well, it's not an inn that ordinary people like me go to.I'm glad I went at least onceIt was a worthwhile stay

Small cans of beer and champagne were available in the lobby. It was difficult to take a bath in the two-tiered cypress bath in the room. Next time, should I choose a room with a separate bath? Or another high-class inn???

There was an issue with our rooms on arrival, but we could not determine who made the error, our agent, the hotel or us. Once ironed out, this was a fantastic choice. Food was top notch and overflowing at dinner. Staff wanted only to please. Beautiful hotel and baths. Too many good things to put here.

I stayed in the largest Gojin room. I thought it was an old inn, but I got the impression that the overall cleaning inside the hotel was very sophisticated. The baths also alternate between men and women depending on the time of day. Has one been renewed? It was so incredibly beautiful. The quality of the hot springs at Yamashiro Onsen is good and the baths are very nice. The open-air bath in the room is also divided into two levels, so you can feel that the water is constantly flowing from the source. In front of the mountain? I thought there would be a lot of insects since it's located in the middle of nowhere, but there were almost no insects. The food is certainly delicious, but it's not much different from hotels that cost 30,000 to 40,000 yen per person per night. . . If you're in Hokuriku, River Retreat has better cost performance. Should I choose the time and course? That was a little disappointing. Since there are a lot of staff members, I get the impression that money is spent on personnel expenses and artwork. It was very relaxing!

Everything is wonderful and makes you feel out of the ordinary. When it comes to meals, you can enjoy not only the food but also the utensils. This is a ryokan that will take your breath away.
