We had a really enjoyable stay at Angelica Lodge. The whole premise was immaculately clean. Our room comes equipped with a microbubble bath tub, and there are also two family onsen bath rooms at the lodge.Dinner and breakfast were delicious western fare with locally sourced ingredients.The grounds although small, offer lovely views of the surrounding mountains as well as the farmland below. Highly recommended!

It was a relaxing place.The room had a Japanese-style bed and a Japanese-style room, so I was able to spend a relaxing time.The food is luxurious! I could feel the taste and the quality of the ingredients. There are many types to enjoy.The bath had hot spring water, which relieved my fatigue.The breakfast was more filling than I expected and I thoroughly enjoyed it. If I have a chance, I would like to use it again♪

It feels like you are in a fairy tale world, the room is comfortable and clean, and the bath is comfortable.The dinner is super sumptuous, from appetizers, soups, salads to seafood platters, steaks and various small desserts. The host's selection of ingredients and sincerity in cooking are amazing and a feast for the mouth. The breakfast is equally rich, with bread, scrambled eggs, fresh and fragrant coffee, fruits, cheese, etc., making it healthy and delicious.You can also buy home-grown fresh blueberries and homemade jam.Thank you to the host for your hospitality and hope to visit again if you have the opportunity.
