As the reviews say, all the food is delicious. In particular, the Himemasu sashimi is sweet and very delicious. Best of all, the famous proprietress will serve you efficiently and with a smile. Sometimes a cute child will appear at the entrance to greet you and see you off. It was a homey and relaxing stay. My whole family is very satisfied and we would like to use it again when we come to Lake Towada.

I used this restaurant because I wanted to try Japanese Himemasu cuisine. The food was highly rated and all tasted very satisfying.In particular, the grilled fish was the most delicious freshwater fish I've ever eaten. I've eaten salt-grilled sweetfish, rockfish, and mountain fish in various places, or I've caught them myself, but they have a unique smell and I don't like them, so I grilled them over charcoal to try to avoid eating them, but the Himemasu here. The salt-grilled food was delicious and had no taste.The accommodation is ordinary, but clean, and the hostess's cooking will leave you completely satisfied.I would like to go again.

The dinner was quite authentic and satisfied my imagination of traveling in the Japanese countryside.The proprietress also likes photography. When she heard that I was going to Oirase to take pictures, she reminded me that there were bears and lent me a bear bell to protect me. It made me feel like I was home.

The host is kind and friendly.The rice is delicious, but I think people have different tastes for Himemasu.The room is clean and has sufficient facilities. However, the walls are quite thin. If you imagine a room divided by sliding doors, you won't be disappointed.It's not too far to walk to the lake, so I think it's good to take a walk in the morning and evening.
