We stayed with Micchan and her husband for four days. It was truly a unique experience that we will never forget. The friendliness, their warmth, the onsens, the food, the mountains, the peace, the other guests... Everything was just beautiful.

Although it was my first time using the service, it felt like I had been with them for quite some time, and I was able to spend a very relaxing time in the homely atmosphere.The room, toilet, bathroom, and dining area were all very clean and I had a comfortable stay.I was so satisfied that I couldn't finish my dinner.The mixed rice with Maitake mushrooms for breakfast was absolutely delicious. The miso soup, made with homemade miso, was also simple and flavorful.Next time, I'm thinking of visiting in the fall or winter.Also thank you.

It is a place where you can have an experience and feel safe, as if you have returned to your hometown.As we are not used to the countryside, we felt that the location was a little inconvenient to access, but the atmosphere of the guest house and the staff was very nice!The dishes made with plenty of natural ingredients were so delicious that I had to change the rice three times for breakfast: Maitake mushroom rice → white rice → repeat Maitake mushroom rice (^｡^) Landlady, husband. The dishes that the previous proprietresses put together and put their heart and soul into making are so delicious that you can't help but come here. ^ - ^I had gotten information about the famous landlady in advance, and the young landlady was very warm and welcoming, and I was able to spend 2 days and 1 night feeling happy♪Everyone, please take good care of yourself and continue to run this wonderful guesthouse ( ´ ▽ ` )Thank you for your help!

The food and hot springs were both very good.I've stayed here several times, and Micchan, her husband, and her grandmother have all been treated well and healed.You can interact with unknown families by the fireside, and just by going there, you can have a good time and be freed from your usual daily life❗

When making a reservation, I asked my elderly mother who refused to cook meat.When I told them that I would be taking them with me, on the day of the event, I was on the first floor.They prepared a room for me and provided me with proper meals.Thank you very much for your response.Beautiful rooms and baths that are just like those at a ryokan.Cuisine better than that of an inn.More detailed than a luxury hotelHospitality by the landlady.And homemade doburokuIt was delicious! !There are many repeatersIt was an amazing inn.

This is a wonderful guesthouse that I go to at least once every year.It would be a shame to call it a guesthouse, but the quality is excellent.I end up drinking too much of the delicious alcohol.This time, it was reserved for the day of the week (lol)I'm always indebted to Micchan, but I go there to be healed!

The customer service was warm and the proprietress was very personable. The somewhat nostalgic Tochigi dialect also makes me feel relieved.The food is really delicious!Everything I ate was delicious, and the hearth cooking was the best!The amount of handmade soba noodles was just right, and the doburoku and breakfast rice with maitake mushrooms were delicious, and everyone in my family kept saying ``delicious and delicious.''The rooms are also well-cleaned. The futon is fluffy and they even provide a yukata.The large public bath is beyond the level of a guesthouse. It feels like you've already arrived at a hotel.The water was a little hot, but it was good.As soon as we arrived, my husband asked for a beer in the room, and he even gave us some snacks. I am very grateful for the warm customer service.This is an inn I would like to stay at again if I have the opportunity.thank you very much.

I stopped by while touring on my bike. The owner, Micchan, is very kind and has become friends with all the customers. Is hearth cooking also low temperature cooking? The meat is soft. I tried some ingredients for the first time, and it was a great experience. I would like to go again. Thank you for your understanding at that time.

I made a reservation to stay there the other day, but I got infected with the coronavirus the day before I left. I had no choice but to cancel online, but I didn't know how to pay the cancellation fee, so while I was suffering from a high fever, I looked into it and was told that I would be contacting the hotel directly, so I called. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience caused by the sudden cancellation, but the phone response was the worst. After explaining the reason for the cancellation and apologizing, I asked how to pay the cancellation fee, and he said something like, "I don't know! I don't want to cancel suddenly! Just send me cash by registered mail!" I will never go to a place like this!

I stayed there in October and November last year. I stayed for several nights in November.I posted this because I saw a review that the hot water at our hotel was not hot spring.The photo is out of focus and hard to see, but it is a hot spring from the new source of Hyuga Onsen. Because there is no hot water in the Nomon area, the public bathhouse ``Ieyasu no Yu'' that used to exist was also brought in from Hyuga.Alkaline simple sulfur spring. The water is added and heated for transportation, so there is no smell here, but if you take a bath using the same source at a hot spring inn in the shade, you will smell sulfur and the water will make your skin smooth.The temperature of the hot water was kept at a comfortable 43 degrees Celsius by the master of the hotel. Private bath.I was very satisfied with Micchan's customer service and Kuriyama's local cuisine.The inn is in the middle of a line of three guesthouses. There were once nine guesthouses in Nomon, but now there are only three.Grandma, the landlady, I hope you continue to be well. I hope Micchan and Takao get along well as a couple and do their best in running the inn for many years to come. The red mushrooms I had for dinner were very delicious. I was completely hooked.

Thank you for your help during Golden Week. It's a homely experience with delicious meals by the hearth, private baths, and although not luxurious, it's a clean room and fluffy futons. The water in the common areas was also clean. (I think it varies depending on how the customers use it, but all of them were good this time, and I have no complaints.) There are many hot dishes for breakfast and dinner, and even if the ingredients are luxurious, they are cold.For me, this is better than a large inn. It was a nice luxury. Above all, Micchan, the landlady♡ Her father is a hidden character♡ If you find her, you'll be lucky if you can talk to her♡♡ Have a conversation with her kind smile♡(*^.^*)As for the meal contents, the delicious food and service are as per other people's reviews ♡I’m a bit (゜-゜)(._.) impatient…Roasted whole salamander...But it tastes like a jacky snack!and! Maitake mushroom rice for breakfast! ! It's different from just rice cooked with mushrooms! But it's super delicious, so please look forward to it (^o^) And then coffee time at Micchan's (landlady) snack space! This is the culmination of everything from check-in to check-out. A warm time with Micchan and the guests in other rooms (*^.^*)We all laughed and had a great time ♡Micchan was at the center of the conversation, and the surroundings became peaceful. It was a peaceful time ♡At the end, Micchan and her father were smiling until the car was out of sight (^o^)They kindly said ( ´∀`)/~~ and sent me off. I'm sorry to leave this behind.(/.＼)(crying) I have to go see you again.

First of all, everything was very nice and clean, and if the bath was empty, you could reserve it for yourself until 10:30 at night and from around 5:00 in the morning.For dinner, we could grill sweetfish, spare ribs, konnyaku, and rice cakes in the irori hearth, and there were many other delicious dishes as well.In the morning, I had white rice and maitake mushroom rice, so I had to refill it.

There are less than 45 people in Ieyasu no Sato, and the proprietress of Fukufuji, Miyako, is kind and friendly, and her cooking skills are very good. My husband and I like the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese B&B very much, and we are very happy to stay here for a day!

I stayed here on March 4, 2023 with my son.The landlady was worried because she couldn't reach me on the phone, so she drove to the bus stop to pick me up. On the way home, he drove me to the bus stop. I was very impressed. The proprietress, Micchan, had a kind and considerate customer service that made my trip very satisfying.This time I would like to let my son experience irori cooking, and he was not disappointed and had a good experience. The food was very delicious. I don't usually drink alcohol, but the sake that the landlady makes herself is very delicious. It seems like men are better off eating small dinosaurs :)The bathroom supplies are also as well stocked as you would find in a good ryokan.Everything is very spacious and clean.I also met some uncles and aunts who were kind to my son. It was a good trip.I'll be looking for a commemorative photo of us again on March 2nd next year.

Thank you for your help during the cold winter months. Best of all, everything was clean and comfortable. I don't see any mold in the bathroom either. The bedding was clean, the rooms and the dining area were clean, and I was impressed by how difficult it was to clean. Being selfish, I asked for a larger room, and was given a room with windows on three sides, where I could relax. There is a stove in the building, so you don't feel too cold, and even though I happened to be the only one staying with my family, they had lots of lights on, which is a shame considering the high electricity bills these days. The hot springs are pleasant and there are koji packs, horse oil shampoo, and conditioner, so you won't have any problems. The food was mainly grilled and eaten, and I had eaten a similar menu at a hotel in Yuokawa Onsen before and didn't think it was very tasty, so I didn't have high expectations, but it was completely different and very delicious. Other than the iroriyaki, everything else is delicious, and the alcohol is delicious and cheap, so I'm very satisfied. The breakfast had a wide variety of items, and I was even able to get a refill of my coffee after the meal. I'm really surprised that we could do so much with this accommodation fee. (If you stay there, you'll understand that it's not an exaggeration.)
