I had a relaxing time in a calm atmosphere. The unmanicured garden that can be seen from the guest room bath gives you peace of mind. I'm happy to eat local raw vegetables, but I think pumpkin should be cooked warm.

During summer vacation 🌻, I visited for a kaiseki lunch and a bath 🛀 on my way back from sightseeing in Tateshina ♪We had lunch in a small private room.The appetizers, sashimi, soup, soba buns, grilled Hida beef, tempura🍤, meals, pickled vegetables, and desserts all have very sophisticated tastes, just like a high-class kaiseki meal in Kyoto. , it tasted great 👍In addition, many of the ingredients were locally sourced, fresh and simple, such as Alpine salmon and highland vegetables🥦🥬, making it a healthy dish.Of course, the customer service and explanation of the food were perfect♪The bath was a private open-air bath, and it was very pleasant to take a bath while feeling close to the beautiful nature of Tateshina 🐦‍⬛ ☆My body was tired from the long trip 😓 and it really healed my soul 😋No matter when you visit, it's an inn that's full of hospitality and makes you feel happy, so next time, I'd definitely like to stay there as well.Thank you for the delicious food♪

It was my first time staying there.A lot of things happened during my stay, so I will write about them for future assignments.The room was on the second floor with an open-air bath.The open-air bath and wash basin were located far apart, making it a bit difficult to use, but the bath was very nice.During the meal, there were small insects walking on the dishes.I asked the waiter to replace it. The inn is located in a place with a lot of nature, so I don't really care about this.The waiter's mask seemed to be too big and would easily slip off, so he had to touch the part of the mask that would cover his mouth the entire time.In that case, it's better not to have a mask.After touching the mask, they were arranging the plates, which really bothered me.The meal started at 18:30, but even after 20:30, the food still hadn't arrived.Since I wanted to go see the light-up until 9:00 pm, I asked quickly and was able to finish my meal by 8:45 pm.I thought I had plenty of time... but it's taking too long to eat.The waiter told me that the light-up had been extended, so I thanked him and headed to the lounge.10 minutes after arriving, while I was having a glass of wine, the illuminations suddenly disappeared and I was told that it would close at 9pm.Huh? Couldn't you extend it? I was surprised...Afterwards, when I returned to my room, water and a midnight snack had been left for me, but I was surprised because at the initial explanation, I had heard that this was a bed room, so staff would not be allowed in the room during dinner. did. I unknowingly left my valuables behind.The next day, at breakfast, I found lipstick still on my apple juice cup.Like yesterday, I felt like I was complaining again, so I wiped it with a towel and put up with it.Due to a number of small issues, the stay I was looking forward to ended up being quite disappointing.The people at the inn welcome guests every day, and this may be their daily routine, but the customers go out of their way to relieve their daily fatigue and enjoy the extraordinary experience of spending time at the inn.It's just a small thing, but please improve it.I look forward to the future.

I felt like the reviews were a little biased.The service wasn't bad though.The hot springs are a transportation/circulation system, so it's quite sticky, and the scenery isn't particularly great, so I can't say it's good.I chose the most expensive option for the food, but it felt like the food was cooked without any purpose or purpose, so I think it would be better to just have the regular course. There have been good reviews in the past, so I wonder if the head chef has changed. It will be difficult to get a hot spring because of the location and facilities, but the food. .As stated in a contribution from ``Private Onsen Dotcom'' on the official website, ``With a price range of 20,000 to 30,000 yen, it is a service that is sufficient for rich people who own a villa in the neighborhood and stay there instead because their villa smells like mold on the first day.'' When I visited, I got the impression that the hotel had raised its prices to take advantage of the coronavirus and inbound tourists, and the quality of the accommodations had not kept up.

2024/06 7th revisitThe quality of food is decliningI don't think I'll visit again (^^;)Teriyaki river trout - I think it's too ordinaryAssorted highland vegetables. It's a kaiseki meal, so let's get to work.The carrot and screw plums cooked together have the texture of frozen ones, but is that the technique used?Dessert: How about a frozen cake?Breakfast soup stock is a little too sweet

Thank you for your help during Obon.Climb the stone stairs from the parking lot to the entrance of the inn.It's a small inn, and the only space other than the room is large enough to relax on the sofa in the lobby.I think it depends on the room, but there is no elevator in the building, so if you are worried about your legs, it is better to avoid the upper floors and make a reservation.My plan was to rest on a futon, but the bottom and four sides of the futon are missing, so I would like to get another mattress.There are Samue and Yukata in the room, so you can choose whichever you like.Men's and women's baths are switched before and after dinner.Before dinner, we were served Tokoroten after taking a bath.Also, barley tea was served throughout the day and it was very delicious.The food was made with local ingredients in mind.I thought it was too much for us, who are mostly adults, and it was a bit too salty for me, a Kanto person.Breakfast was a Japanese set meal, and after dinner we had coffee in the lobby.I think this is a hotel that will satisfy those who want courteous service.However, for someone like me who likes resort hotels, I felt it was expensive.

I used a room called Minazuki.This room has an open-air bath.I used Furunavi Travel, a hometown tax payment service, and it was 85,800 points for two people.The food was delicious, the room was comfortable, the service was just right, and it was a very cozy inn.The large communal bath was average, so I recommend a room with an open-air bath.
