This was my first time staying here as I was looking for a hotel with a hot spring bath in the room, but it was great. The room was adequate for 4 adults and 1 infant. All the meals were delicious, and the children's meals seemed to be really delicious too, so they ate a lot.One thing I'm curious about is when you pay on the way home...I don't even say thank you, and now they don't ask you to see them off. I asked for a family photo, but it seemed a bit bland...I was satisfied with everything, but I was disappointed with the ending. It would be nice to at least say thank you when you leave...

The food was delicious! I like strong soup stock with less salt, so I was very satisfied.I felt sorry that I was so full that I couldn't eat everything. The presentation was also beautiful and wonderful.The waitress, who was probably a technical intern trainee, was very nice and seemed to have studied Japanese well in her home country, so I had a comfortable time there.I was a little disappointed because the cold water in the room smelled like tap water. I also didn't like the drinks in the common area.The hot springs are very soft and you don't need lotion, so you'll be very satisfied.The ceiling in the dressing room is low, so I bumped into the lighting fixtures several times when I was drying my hair. I'm glad it didn't break (lol)

This time, I visited on a birthday trip.They provided us with a large room and gave us a bottle of wine as a gift since it was our anniversary. The foreign staff provided polite customer service and I was happy to see them off at the end. The food was delicious and I enjoyed watching it. The hot spring in the room felt so good that I soaked it many times. Hanamura's warabi mochi prepared in the room was also delicious. Next time, I would like to stay overnight on a sunny day.Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality.

This peaceful oasis was exactly the ryokan experience we were looking for. The area was quiet, our private bath was made of local stone and had a real garden and the kaiseki was better than any we've had so far. Excellent service, I mean just perfect and the shared baths had a really cool interior space with almost religious overtones with the cross shaped pool.We found the ryokan too far to walk to other locations and drove our rental to where-ever we went.

It's easy to find in Oda Onsen as there are signs and signs.There is a free parking lot next to the inn.As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by the staff. The entrance is a short walk from the parking lot.There was a hearth and a waiting room in front of the front desk.This is a detached room with an indoor bath and an open-air bath, giving you a sense of privacy.The room we stayed in was very spacious, with a living room, bedroom, washlet toilet, laundry room, indoor bath, open-air bath, and a garden attached to the room.You can adjust the temperature of both the indoor bath and open-air bath, which are fed directly from the source, so you can adjust it to suit the temperature and physical condition of the day.The nightingale was chirping on a small mountain nearby, and it was soothing.There is a wooden common room near the front desk, where coffee, tea, and delicious cold water from Oguni are prepared. There is also a wood stove, sofa, and books, so I was able to spend some time relaxing.There is also an open-air public bath and a cave bath, so it's fun to visit the baths.Meals will be taken to a private dining room.There is a large table that seats about 6 people and a sunken kotatsu, making it safe for those who don't like sitting straight.All the dishes were delicate, well-crafted, and very delicious.Since the trip was also a celebration, the sparkling wine with the hotel's name on it was a big hit. The eight-inch pieces are arranged so cutely that it would be a waste to eat them and break them down. The sashimi consisted of two types of fish and horse sashimi, and I also ordered sake and enjoyed it.The meat, fish, and vegetables were all locally sourced, and they were very flavorful and delicious.The soup stock in the pot was delicious, and I was very happy to have it made to order.I had a small problem, but it was quickly resolved and I had a good stay.This is an inn that I would like to visit again in different seasons.

The overall experience is good, including the private bath and large bath in the room, as well as impeccable service. The Kaiseki cuisine, which is the most anticipated of the two meals, is relatively ordinary. From the menu design to the taste and cooking methods to the presentation, it lacks a bit of sophistication and care. Maybe the hotel’s positioning is more popular, but the charges are not cheap. .
