Hirayama Onsen Ryokan Yamato, limited to 5 groups per dayAll rooms are separate and have private open-air baths.A completely private sauna called Musoan is also popular.It was originally a tofu shop, but due to various opportunities, the business changed to an inn. After overcoming the Kumamoto Earthquake and the coronavirus, we now have only five rooms, where you can receive sophisticated hospitality. Every year, we add new mechanisms and facilities, making it an inn that continues to evolve year after year, like a Japanese-made Sagrada Familia.*Private private sauna Musoan is already listed on the Musoan map.https://maps.app.goo.gl/DDSAYa7dFsdyHie57?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copyThe room I stayed in this time was a simple room called Jiban. The structure is simple, consisting of the main room, indoor bath, open-air bath, and terrace, but the furniture is very elaborate, making it a comfortable room.Meals are served in a private room in a separate building called Warabi.This is an original Japanese kaiseki meal that uses plenty of seasonal and local ingredients. Their signature hot spring tofu is truly delicious, smooth but with firm edges, rich in flavor but not too strong. It was the best tofu I've ever had. Wasabi is also a fine wasabi from Shizuoka Prefecture that goes well with tofu and sashimi.The menu has a wide range of options, including hot spring tofu, appetizers, fried tofu, sashimi, horse sashimi, cherry blossom shabu-shabu in a soy milk pot, Yamaga beef steak, and desserts include chocolate, warabi mochi, and puff pastry ice cream.I couldn't finish all of the rice and pickles, so I had to make them into rice balls for a midnight snack.The conversation with the mother is really friendly and fun, and she treats me with a perfect sense of distance, as if I were talking to my best friend's mother. Dinner time was truly blissful, as the customer service was not just superficial conversation, but had a genuine focus on customer service. We had some small troubles along the way, but we've already established a relationship of trust, so even troubles are a fun part of the attraction.Breakfast also has a wide variety of luxurious ingredients, so if you burn off some calories in the open-air bath in your room, you'll be sure to enjoy it.I was impressed to hear the hostess smiling and saying how happy and enjoyable she was to be able to interact closely with the guests as the number of guest rooms was reduced compared to before.True to his words, we were able to stay in a wonderful space and spend time at Yamato-san, which was really great.This is a top notch inn that I would definitely like to visit again if I have the chance.Thank you very much!#hot spring#ryokan#Private sauna#Yamato#Tofu#away#Kaiseki cuisine#Hirayama Onsen#hospitality#Sagrada Familia
