Kanon

I was worried because there was a lot of talk about meals, but it was resolved by choosing the appropriate options. All of the rooms are detached, so you can't see Hoki River from the bath, but it's quiet and private. There are many free services such as bedrock baths, saunas, and lounges, and the large public baths are great. However, the circulation is not good, so you have to pass the lobby every time, which is inconvenient, and Netflix doesn't work.

[A riverside inn with a quiet environment and a sky full of stars]Shiobara Onsen since Yunohanaso. The Shiobara Onsen Village in this area is just over an hour away by Shinkansen, and by car via the Tohoku Expressway, it's an area that's easy to get to from the Tokyo metropolitan area with little traffic congestion.This time, we used Kanon (Kaedeone), which is located on the banks of the Hoki River. This is a new inn opened by the son of the nearby hot spring inn, Fujiya, who is now the head chef.The detached maisonette room that we had taken advantage of as a last-minute discount had become considerably cheaper, and the total bill for two people, including alcohol and cash only, was just over 80,000 yen.▪️Cooking/TasteAs expected, the owner himself is the head chef who trained in Ishikawa Prefecture, and the cuisine is generally excellent, with creative cuisine centered around Japanese cuisine.Despite being located in the mountains, the sashimi is fresh and of high quality, befitting a luxury inn.From the appetizers to the final meal, Donzuba's creative cuisine is not Japanese cuisine, but has a twist. The soup is also a corn soup that is common in French cuisine, but it is not made with regular corn, but rather has a refreshing taste.On the other hand, it's interesting to see that there are some standard dishes that would be served at an ordinary high-end hot spring inn, such as ``Tochigi beef sirloin shabu-shabu''.The only drawback is that the taste in utensils is not good.Personally, I believe that, like other authentic Japanese restaurants and high-end inns, when it comes to Japanese cuisine, the taste of the restaurant or inn is reflected in the taste of the tableware.Of course, this is subjective, but compared to high-end inns such as Matsunoo and Kagaya Bekkan Matsuno Aoi in Ishikawa Prefecture, my impression was that they should have tried a little harder.This is not limited to tableware, but the overall impression, from interior decoration to communal spaces and guest rooms.▪️Service/AtmosphereThe best thing about this inn is the surrounding environment.The houses are sparsely located on the banks of the Hoki River, so there is almost no sound of population. There is little traffic on the main road in front of the inn, especially at night, so there are hardly any cars running, making it an ideal sound environment where the only background music is the sound of the river flowing.Fortunately, the night was clear and the moon was a crescent (it's hard to see stars when the moon is full), so we were able to enjoy a starry sky.Furthermore, in the maisonette guest rooms, you can rest in a hammock and watch the sun, which is really comfortable, and the beds in the guest rooms are of a good quality with just the right amount of firmness.As far as I have used the hot spring itself, it seems that it is not completely free-flowing (no chlorine added, no circulation, no heating, no water added) (I didn't notice the signage, so I don't know if it's true).That said, the unique, slippery quality of the hot springs gives you the feel you would expect from a hot spring, and it's very comfortable to soak in.There are only a few guest rooms, and there are open-air baths with their own rooms, so most of the people in the communal baths were comfortable to use by themselves. .Everyone in charge of customer service, from welcoming us to seeing us off, is polite and pleasant. Answers are accurate and stress-free.This area was a truly luxurious inn.

At this price, this level is the best. It's a wonderful inn. The starry sky at night was impressive.

I was very satisfied with the staff's response, the room, the food, and the hot water.I was especially impressed by the politeness of the staff.They were very kind and considerate of infants and allergies.Some people have complained about the food, but it was all very delicious and the seasoning brought out the flavor of the ingredients without being too strong.It may not suit those who like strong flavors.

The rooms and food were very good.There were few guests, so we were able to spend a relaxing time in a quiet place.

The rooms, customer service, facilities, food, and hot springs were all good.In an inn like a guest houseNext time I would like to stay for more nights instead of just one day and relax.The food is elaborate and the drink prices are too low.It's a wonderful inn with great service throughout!I would like to take care of you again♪

I stayed in a room named "Yamamomo".It's a wonderful accommodation.Please take a look at the video I took of the view of the garden from the open-air bath. I think it conveys the atmosphere better than explaining it in words.As you can see, you are surrounded by rich nature and time passes slowly.I suddenly looked up and saw many red dragonflies in the sky.You can discover nostalgic scenery that you had forgotten about.A rare damselfly also visited us that day.Dinner and breakfast are served in a private room, the woman in charge is kind, the food is amazing, and you can toast marshmallows in the fireplace after dinner.Everything about this hotel was perfect, and it's definitely one of my favorite places to visit again.

I chose this hotel based on reviews and had the impression that it would be a luxury inn based on the price, but when I actually stayed there, I was disappointed.①I arrived 30 minutes early, so I thought I could wait in the lobby even if I couldn't check in, but I couldn't go inside and had to wait in the car.I've never had this kind of response even at a reasonably priced inn.②Although the colored yukata has been cleaned,All the colors were faded③There were multiple insects such as slugs in the shower room.④ I can't find my emergency flashlight⑤The seat of the chair in the courtyard was torn and I couldn't sit on it.⑥There are many dishes, but they don't feel special.⑦The check-out staff was unfriendly.The most unfortunate thingWhere you filled out the hotel questionnairePublished in "Customer Voices" on the Kanon homepageI wrote a lot of reviews, but I was surprised to find that only the good points were excerpted, and everything else was deleted.I decided to post this because I thought that the hotel's attitude was being questioned and that the correct information would not be conveyed to future guests.However, the smile and consideration of the female staff in charge were friendly and nice.
