I stayed here based on a recommendation from a family member.There are only a few rooms, and each room is spacious and you can see the countryside from the window.There is also a kotatsu, which is very relaxing.I don't think I can go in winter because I'm afraid of cars, but I think it would be great when it snows ^_^Meals are served in semi-private rooms.There was also rock salt grilled food, so I enjoyed my meal. The food was also delicious.Also, the many private baths warmed my body so much that I wanted to take a bath again and again.This is a ryokan that I would definitely like to visit again.

It's wonderful no matter how many times I visit.Unfortunately, it is difficult to make reservations.--The hot springs, the food, the customer service, and so much more... Looking back on it as someone who stays and travels in rooms with open-air baths once a month, all I can say is that it's amazing.I want to repeat it again.There are three points worth mentioning that distinguish us from other accommodation facilities.There is one slightly disappointing point.・Relatively noteworthy points①Guest room hot springs...The quality of the spring water, the temperature, the scent of cypress...there is a casually unified view of the world (this can also be said for the rooms and other areas), making it extremely relaxing. After taking a bath, you can relax in the massage chair and watch TV, which can really soothe your mind and body.② Food…If I had to describe it in one word, it would be delicious. I felt that it was not inferior to other hotels with higher accommodation costs than our hotel, and in some cases even exceeded them.③Others 1...When you are staying at a new place for the first time, you may find yourself trying to figure out what to expect. Arriving after many journeys can be stressful depending on the situation, but at our hotel there are signs posted here and there with information and things to keep in mind that concisely express the purpose (and in the latter case, the reason). ing. As a guest, I don't have to make any inquiries, and as an inn, I can concentrate on my core business, so I think it's a win-win. It may seem like a small thing depending on how you look at it, but I was very impressed with the ingenuity that you don't often see in other accommodation facilities. On the contrary, I would like other accommodation facilities to follow suit.④Other 2...At breakfast, chopsticks were placed on the table based on my dominant hand. Although it was not specifically mentioned, I think that the composition of the notice at dinner and the casual provision of food at breakfast is a continuity of hospitality that includes the continuation of the service. Personally, this is a rare experience.・A bit disappointingThe sound of the air conditioner is a little annoying. Personally, I have this problem when it comes to accommodations in cold regions. Due to the room temperature, I have no choice but to drive while I'm sleeping, which interferes with my sleep. This is the only thing I regret.

I had made a reservation at Jalan, but when I changed the number of points from the reservation change screen because I wanted to use the points before they expire, they went out of their way to email me and told me that I had changed my reservation too much and went to another hotel. I was asked to stay the night.It's not like I kept canceling.However, I wonder if changing the number of points is such an inconvenience.The more time passed, the more annoyed I became.I don't really have any desire to stay at a hotel like this, so I don't mind it, but there are plenty of good hotels, whether they're expensive or cheap.This inn is the worst, under the bottom.Even if I look at other reviews, I don't feel that there is any sincerity in the hotel, so I have no connection with it.Well, at least you should be satisfied with the current situation and settle down.

The cost performance is too good for this price! This is a highly satisfying inn. It's also wonderful to be able to enjoy carefully selected dishes that are directly served in your room at any time.The room felt like a hideaway, and there was a lot of attention to detail in every corner (not just the amenities).Above all, making the room is interesting!We didn't have too much rice, we ate lots of natural ingredients that seemed to be good for our health, and we had a quiet time. There were some people who gave negative marks in terms of customer service, but I was satisfied with the trip from beginning to end, as the customer service was friendly and friendly.No wonder there are so many repeat customers.Once the summer is over, I would like to visit you again for 2 nights and 3 days.Personally, the number of lodgings that allow smoking is decreasing, so I would like to see some rooms where smoking is allowed (Yamaboushi) remain.

It was my first time staying at this inn in Tsumagoi Onsen, but my husband and I really liked the quiet space.Check-in 3pm. Since the check-in time is tight, I went to the front door at 2:45 p.m., but the door was not open, but it was charming.Immediately after checking in, I was shown the room and private bath, so I decided to make a reservation for the private bath and went there at 3:20 pm.First of all, the private bath was amazing.There's even a hot spring (iron spring) fed directly from the source and a dry sauna. There are places where you can get some fresh air and it's truly heaven. The 40 minutes went by so quickly that I wanted to stay for another two hours. . . lolEven after returning to your room, Momiji no Ma is a room with a large open-air bath and a bedrock bath, so you can enjoy the short time you have until dinner from 4pm to 6pm to the fullest.Dinner at 6pm, while enjoying delicious local gourmet food, the couple's motto is ``We don't leave even a single grain of rice behind as a thank you to Japanese farmers,'' so this portion was a bit unsatisfactory. . . Just when I was worried, they even offered onigiri rice balls for my midnight snack. . . The way you use your mind is very nice.Return to the room and have a quick rice ball and pickles, then enjoy the hot springs and bedrock baths (until 11pm) until after midnight.In the morning, of course, you can soak in the hot springs and then go to breakfast. After returning, I went to the hot springs again.It was the best hot spring trip, where I enjoyed the hot springs and rock baths all the time except when I was eating and sleeping, leaving my skin silky smooth and getting rid of the stress and fatigue of everyday life.PS.I'd like to mention that I was very glad that there were no noisy customers with children or groups this time. There were some low ratings from such people in the reviews, but segregation is very important as an adult accommodation.I wonder why there are almost no inns where adults can spend a quiet time alone. I would like the price to be equal to the comfort level, but it doesn't happen easily, and whenever my husband and I went on a trip, we got very tired of the noise around us and felt depressed and disgusted.Please continue to keep your faith and do your best. We look forward to hearing from you again.

I like the bath in the room. It's nice that the private room comes with a sauna. And every single dish of rice is delicious.

The parking lot is on the opposite side, so you have to look around to see if any cars are coming.Seeing you off on your way home is only at the front door.My overall impression was honestly [hmm...] despite the high ratings.Check-in is strictly from 3pm, so it's impossible to get in early.I arrived a little early, but couldn't get in, so I waited in the car.I stayed in a place with a bath in the room, and during dinner I was told in advance that I would be allowed to go into the room to check the temperature, but when I returned to the room, I was surprised to find that all the lights had been turned off. .In a sense, I think this is a loss of privacy.Even though it's expensive, would you normally pay that much?Although the dining room is a private room, you can hear other customers' conversations.“Is this a pub? ' That's what I thought...It sells a retro feel, but I think everyone has their own preferences.The room was spacious and it was nice to have two washrooms and two toilets.But I don't think I want to go there again.

I stayed there with my wife a few years ago.It was a very good stay.After giving birth to two children and wanting to stay again with them (5 years old and 2 years old), I was told that if there were people with children, it would be a nuisance to other guests during the meal. I was told to be quiet and eat dinner. Since I'm a child, I think I can do it a little more quietly, but I decided not to do it because I thought I might get into trouble because of my mood.The response was very cold and disappointing.
