2024/7/13♨A solo trip that makes you think about various histories🚃This time, I was traveling alone for a three-day weekend, so I called to see if it would be difficult to make reservations anywhere, and they responded very kindly, making me feel at ease already (^^)It was such a nice inn that I felt sad saying goodbye. This time I'll be with my companion!

The food is very delicious.Inns in Kusatsu are also good, but Kusatsu is about 20km away.If you want to enjoy the scenery of Yamba Dam, this inn will be more relaxing and the service is particularly good.I would like to use it again.

A very pleasant inn. It was a weekday and there were only 2 groups, so we were able to use the bath as if it were a family bath.I was very impressed.It was very hot, but the hot spring made my skin feel smooth. This is also good for your meal! I was very satisfied with both dinner and breakfast. The room was clean and it was relaxing to meet the dogs and cats. This is a ryokan that I would like to visit again.Thank you 🙏 Thank you 🙇😀

I went to Kawaraya Onsen near Yamba Dam.Although it was mid-November, the autumn leaves had already finished...We will be staying at Yamata Ryokan.I had never heard of Kawaraya Onsen before, so I was excited to visit.When you arrive, Nyankoro will welcome you (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)They are friendly and don't make any noise.The inside of the inn is small, and the young proprietress will give you a quick tour around the inn.I was given the key and immediately went to my room.Even though we were just the two of us, we had a very spacious room where we could relax.You can also see Yamba Dam from the room.The smell of the bath was strong, probably due to the strong sulfur content.And it's pretty hot...You may not be able to add it unless you dilute it with water or stir the hot water.But once you enter, it's heaven. Your skin will become smooth and smooth, and your body will be warmed from the core.And the ultimate is cooking.At first I thought it was all about the small bowls lined up⊙⁠.⁠☉In addition to small bowls, there was also sukiyaki, but when I finished eating...Salt-grilled sweetfish and horse mackerel sashimi.ChawanmushiWild vegetable tempuraSoba noodles with white riceOh no...I'm too full lolAnd the breakfastA smoothie of vegetables and fruits, starting with a small bowl of wild vegetables.Then chestnut sekihan and miso were brought out.Pickled salmon in salad.When I finished eating, I had herbal tea, an assortment of fruits, and pumpkin pudding.If there isn't enough, white rice is also added (⁠☉⁠。⁠☉⁠)⁠!Green tea and coffee too!Although it is said to be more than the price, I would pay twice as much.Everything was perfect and wonderful, including the delicious food, the best room, the bath, and the attention to detail.I want to say thank you for the pleasant holiday.At the end, the staff from the inn came out and held the dog and cat and saw them off!And please go.I have to go home now lolOh, most of the dishes are made with vegetables and wild plants, so it's not suitable for people who don't like wild plants and vegetables.There is almost no meat available.But there is something more to offer than that.There are so many things I want to write about, but it's going to be a long post, so I'll stop here!

This is my first time working here. There was only one other group there besides us, so it was quiet and relaxing and relaxing. The hot spring was also hot, so I was asked to cool down with water, and it was heated to the temperature that was right for me. The amount of food was surprisingly large for a woman like me [I don't want to leave such delicious food behind when I make my next reservation over the phone, so I'll ask if the amount can be halved. ], but everything was delicious and I was very satisfied. The interior, rooms, and bathrooms are all clean and well-maintained, making this an inn that you will want to come back to again and again.On the way home, the three beautiful sisters and their families kept waving at me until I could no longer see the car, and I felt comfortable leaving the hotel.
