I used the Mom and Dad Relief Plan.I didn't have to worry about eating in my room, and the food was delicious and filling.The bath was also very nice. The children also had fun playing with ducks.It came with toys, but I don't think a 1 year old needs animal erasers.

It was a renovated room, but there were steps everywhere, so both my parents were having a hard time.I was told that the inn prides itself on its food, but I was disappointed that some of the food was dry, probably because I was eating it in my room.Since it's a reasonable price, I think it would be nice if they used better bedding.

I used it for my parents' wedding anniversary and 60th birthday. The bath in the room was bigger than I expected, and my mother was very impressed and liked it so much that she took a bath many times. The room was very clean, the staff was very kind and it was very comfortable. The food was also very delicious and the best I've ever had. I would not hesitate to use it again if I have the opportunity.Thank you very much to the staff for your consultation and consideration regarding my father's meals. My mother was impressed and was really glad she used it. Even after I returned home, I praised it many times.

Stayed in the west building in 2023 Golden Week. The accommodation fee for two adults was approximately 67,000 yen.My personal rating is room: 5, bath: 4, dinner: 4, breakfast: 4, cleanliness: 5, service: 3.The exterior of the room has the atmosphere of a fine old-fashioned hot spring hotel. It's true that the hallways and doors are a bit old, but the rooms have been renovated and are clean.Bathrooms: All rooms are semi-open-air, so I chose the west building, which seemed closest to the outside view. The bathtub was about 2m wide and spacious. The quality of the spring water was smooth and odorless, and I didn't feel any moisturizing power, but since my skin was starting to peel off, it felt more like a peeling sensation, and the water didn't cool me down for long. It was good because I could adjust the temperature without adding water. At night, those on the second floor and below can see the trees lit up in green.Dinner...As with any ryokan, the ingredients were hit or miss. The tuna sashimi and grilled sashimi were very delicious. The timing of the food being delivered was also good. Since we had our meals in our room, we were able to enjoy our meal in an elegant manner with our favorite music played at a low volume.Breakfast: There are two types of grilled fish, silver cod? Saikyoyaki was delicious down to the skin. I want coffee after dinner.Service: Due to coronavirus precautions, there was no explanation given in the room, but it was actually easier. There was cold water and tea making facilities in the room. Free coffee etc. are available in the lounge. However, I was disappointed that the tissue was hard and there was no cotton pad.Clean...no problems. It was beautiful.General review: I wasn't expecting much of a bath since it was semi-open-air, but it was spacious and had a nice open feel. I think there's another dish. The room was spacious and clean, so overall I was satisfied.

I previously used it for my honeymoon.first,good pointThe room is very clean! The tatami bath in the guest room was also great! The food was delicious and I was satisfied!Bad pointsI keep waiting for the dessert at the end of the meal, but it never comes! When I called the front desk, there was no answer. When I went to the front desk, there was no one there.In the end, the waiter finally brought it to me. He seemed to have forgotten and apologized, but I just couldn't think of anything. .The next day I was going to Nagasaki, so I booked a taxi for the next morning so that I could catch the Shinkansen, but I was surprised that no taxi had arrived that day and asked the receptionist.``I left because you didn't call me,'' he said.In the end, they called me back and I managed to get on the Shinkansen, but it was delayed and my honeymoon plans were about to be ruined.I was a little annoyed at that timeI gave it 3 stars because I received good service overall.

The rooms are spacious and have a sense of freedom. The food was decent with small, quality courses. As a request, I would like check out to be at 11am.

Recommended by a friend who loves traveling, we decided to book a suite for a commemorative trip. I enjoyed my time in the room with a semi-open-air bath fed by natural hot spring water. A massage chair is also available in the room. I was satisfied with both breakfast and dinner, and the staff's service was pleasant. I would like to use this hotel again. The large bath and warm room remained unused.

This is an inn with good hot water.I am satisfied with the size of the room. The large public bath feels like a public bath, so there's nothing impressive about it. The bathroom in the room is sufficient. Disappointing if you have high expectations for the food. The staff in charge were very nice, but since he was responsible for everything by himself in preparing the meals for 6 people, they were cold by the time we ate them. When I checked out, I spoke with the president and exchanged business cards, so I immediately sent him an email thanking him.No reply yet.

The room was very spacious and I felt relaxed. As the name of Momiji no Inn suggests, there are maple trees outside the window🍁, but unfortunately it was a little early and the leaves hadn't turned red yet. Still, the view of autumn leaves from the open-air bath is the best.The food was also very delicious. Kaiseki cuisine is different from the cuisine served at hot spring inns.Mr. Nakai, who takes care of us with room meals, is very kind. Although it may not be called sophisticated, this is the traditional taste of Japanese hospitality.Unlike the respectful and courteous service, it is soothing.

One word: the best.It was my first time eating in my room, so I was impressed 😭The interior is so beautiful, quiet and calm that you wouldn't expect from the entrance, and I had a truly relaxing time! ! I think it's perfect for an adult trip with grandparents, a mother-daughter trip with mom, or a married couple!

The room comes with a semi-open-air bath, so you can bathe in the hot springs fed directly from the source at any time. Meals are served in your room and are fully protected against the coronavirus.

I thought it was the highest quality hot spring inn. I was impressed by the quality of the room, the indoor bath (naturally a hot spring), and the quality of the in-room meals, and regretted that I could only stay for one night.

I stayed with my parents. My parents said it was the best accommodation they had ever stayed in. I was impressed by the food, the room, and the warm customer service attitude of the employees. The price is high on the surface, but I was more than satisfied.This time, the blue autumn leaves were very beautiful, but next time I would like to visit again during the autumn leaves season.The signboard cat, Imo-chan, was also very cute.
