2024.9.16 First visitA forest hotel opening in May 2024. It is a private space with only 5 buildings, and the design and facilities are perfect. The room is filled with the scent of wood, making it a very relaxing space.The facility I liked most was the private sauna installed on the balcony. The heat source was wood, so the temperature was very high, and I was impressed by the heat, which was on a different level than a super public bath.At night, while having a barbecue outdoors, I was able to talk with friends about old stories and current events.The breakfast plate was also very delicious.Escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and spend the night in nature.It was a wonderful place that made things that seemed possible but impossible come true.thank you very much!

I came to stay at the hotel because I was interested in seeing it as a new hotel.As you move into the mountains, a different space suddenly opens up, and the contrast between the mountains and the hotel is amazing!First, we checked in and received various explanations! Surprisingly, the room I was staying in this time had a sauna, and they were preparing a sauna using firewood from this village, so as soon as I arrived, I jumped into the sauna with a beer in hand and felt great. Beer and other alcoholic beverages are in the fridge, and it's included in the accommodation fee, which is great!I could see the mountain scenery from my room, the river was flowing right in front of me, I could hear the chirping of birds, and it felt great to forget the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.In the evening, I made a reservation for a dinner supervised by a Michelin chef, which is limited to 3 groups per day, and went to the restaurant building, a little nervous but looking forward to it.Here too, the drinks are free drinks, so toast with a beer that has the afterglow of the sauna 🍺From here, we use the hotel's beef brand ``Forest'' that can only be tasted locally, and the course is served with fresh meat that has never been frozen.The results are very, very amazing. . .Anyway, the meat was juicy, bursting with flavor, and the deliciousness of the red meat really stood out.The consommé soup is divine and delicious, and I want to carry it around in a plastic bottle lolAnyway, this is a course where you can get a feel for this village.It was an all-you-can-drink option, but I wanted a wine that would go well with the food, so I ordered one bottle of white wine and one red wine.It was a bit of a blow to my wallet, but I was able to choose a wine that matched my budget and the food. ! ★The staff were also very easy to talk to, and they explained the food and the village's efforts and thoughts, which helped me understand the background behind the construction of this hotel and the value of its existence.At the 100-year-old Mori Hotel, we look backwards from the happiness of the future and think about the importance of the efforts we should make for the future, something we would never think of in Tokyo, while having a drink. I did it lolEven in my room, it was a bit cold at night, so I turned on the fireplace and the flames were slow, and while I watched it, we had a lively conversation and ended up drinking again lol.Maybe that's why I had some alcohol left over the next day, but I was greeted by the smell of the forest on the balcony and felt like I was in the countryside lol.What a breakfast! Breakfast mainly consists of spicy curry or yogurt made with milk!My companion ordered spicy curry. I have an intestinal breakfast using yogurt!Both ended up being so delicious that I ended up having to refill them lolI don't have much vocabulary for curry, but it's the kind of curry you eat at luxury hotels, and it has a complex flavor. It might be a little tough for kids, but it's the best.The yogurt is thick and very light, and it has a new feel to it, which I think will be great for girls.I took another sauna until it was time to check out, and since I was told that if I stayed at this accommodation, I would be able to take a bath in the village's Golden Spring, I took a day trip to the hot spring and returned from escapism to reality.Thank you to everyone at the hotel!Next time, I would like to try a different course and look forward to it. I heard that you can see fireflies in the summer, so I would like to go there again during that time!
