I used it on my anniversary trip. It was a hot day, so I was happy to be able to drink sparkling wine and juice anytime. The coffee that came in the room was also decaf, so you could relax in the room after your meal. I thought it would be interesting to choose the food I like and make it into a course. The pizza is so delicious that you should definitely order it, so be careful not to get too full from the appetizers. The Tsukiyono rice for breakfast was also delicious. The public bath was small, but it was clean and had an open-air bath. Although it was summer vacation, I didn't meet many other guests probably because it was a weekday. Cleansing products, lotion, and emulsion were available in both the public bath and the room.Many reviews said that the customer service was good, and the staff were really nice.

I was wondering whether to stay at Hoshi Onsen, which is a little further north, and this hotel was also very good. Since it was free flow, I was able to use whatever drinks I wanted in the fridge. For dinner, we were allowed to order as many things as we wanted in any order, so we started with appetizers, then main dishes, and then depending on how hungry we were, we went back to appetizers and ended up going around twice. Every plate looked beautiful and was very delicious.

I had never been to Sarugakyo Onsen after watching a YouTuber's video, so I planned to stay there for 1 night and 2 days. This is an all-inclusive inn where dinner is Italian. The inside of the hotel has been renovated and there is a lounge next to the front desk that you can use before and after check-in and check-out. We booked the most reasonable room without a bathroom. There was a large public bath and there weren't many rooms, so I was able to use it without having to overlap with other people. The meals are Italian, and you can order as much as you like, from appetizers to main dishes, desserts, and drinks, including alcohol. I recommend the original pizza Monica as it was very delicious with the bitterness and sweetness of the fukinoto. I felt that the clothes worn in the hotel, especially the slippers, would be better suited to the newly renovated rooms and inside the hotel. (For better or for worse, this place still has the image of being a ryokan.) The staff's service and hospitality were evident, making it a pleasant stay.

I went during the typhoon, but my friends and I had to cancel, so there were only 3 groups. There's welcome champagne, and there's plenty of drinks in the fridge, including 4 beers ✨ It's free! Dinner is also free with all-you-can-drink alcohol! Instead of a buffet, the meals are brought to you freshly prepared one by one! All the dishes are delicious, and we recommend the pizza and meat dishes.There is a general restaurant next to the entrance, and there is a pizza oven where you can watch the pizza being baked from the outside! It looks delicious! The owner and chef seem to be having fun baking it! There is an open-air bath, and the price is quite high. There are also great deals available online! It was my birthday that day, and I received a birthday dessert as a surprise! The staff's smiles and customer service. I've been to many places, but nothing like this. Yo~! Please go while you're still alive😊

The pizza shop "Chez Sou" is attached to the hotel. I liked the taste of the pizza and the atmosphere of the restaurant, so I went there twice for lunch. Finally, I stayed at the hotel "Le Wambert Lakego".The view from the hotel is nice. Lake Akaya is right in front of you, surrounded by green trees, making it very relaxing. It has just been renovated and has a very beautiful high-grade space.The key points I focus on when choosing accommodations are hot springs and meals.For someone like me who loves hot springs, ``flowing directly from the source'' is the best part. The free-flowing hot spring water that is provided without heating or adding water is the most luxurious of all hot springs.In addition, since I love eating and drinking, the fact that it's all-inclusive is also a plus. A concept that has gradually become popular in the hotel industry recently is that all food and drinks during your stay are included in the price. It is often used by high-end hotels.It's the perfect environment for me, combining the ultimate in hot springs and food.Hot springs are very pleasant and make your skin smooth. It stays warm even after you take a bath.I think this is proof that the spring quality is good. Unlike hotels with many rooms, there is a limit on the number of guests who can stay, so I was able to enjoy the entire stay as a private room, which was great.At check-in, we received sparkling wine and various hors d'oeuvres as a welcome drink, and dinner was our favorite Italian dish. I ate as much of my favorite menu items as I wanted while drinking Peroni, an Italian draft beer. Everything was delicious, and even the sweets were made without any omissions. There were various drinks in the refrigerator in the room, but I was too full to try them... The coffee in the room was delicious.Many of the amenities are original to the hotel, and according to my wife, the lotions were also very good. He said he would buy it if it was on sale.For breakfast, you can choose between Japanese and Western food, and I chose Japanese food. It was a delicious breakfast that seemed to be good for the body.The Western omelette that my wife chose was also quite large! It was fluffy and perfectly cooked.Everyone told me to eat a lot, and I had a full two days.The customer service from the owner and his wife, as well as the head chef and staff, was excellent. I felt that the direction this hotel was aiming for was the same as my expectations, so it was a very happy encounter. I feel like it's still evolving, so I'd like to continue visiting.
