I stayed there on November 27th last year.It's an old inn and the customer service is somewhat nostalgic.You might be a little disappointed if you're expecting a "never leave" experience that would please young people.It's a weekend. Since we were staying at a slightly different location, the bath was reserved for private use and was small, but we were able to relax and enjoy it.The style of cooking is as you listen to Mr. Nakai's explanations, and all of the dishes made with the 3-year-old tiger puffer fish are absolutely delicious.The summer conger conger is also delicious, but the puffer fish is definitely the best. You can.I would like to come back to eat there again.At night, the 3-year-old blowfish sculpture is lit up (lol).The view from our facility is quite good.

My partner and I visited here for one night from Monday, June 24, 2024, to eat seasonal conger conger.There is a parking lot for about 2 cars in front of the building, and a parking lot about 50m next door, and you will be guided when you arrive.The building has the feel of an old inn and has a nostalgic atmosphere.The main guest rooms are Japanese-style rooms, but the one we stayed in was one of the few Japanese-Western rooms with twin beds.The structure of the rooms is also that of an old-fashioned inn.It had been renovated and I had a comfortable stay.The only negative point is that the mirror in the sink was not that big, so I think it would have been nice to have a slightly larger mirror in the room for my partner to put on her makeup the next morning.My partner stood at the sink and put on her makeup without saying a word, but since there was a folding chair in the room, I think she would have been able to put on her makeup a little more easily if there was a slightly larger mirror next to the TV. felt.I felt there was room for improvement on this point.This is the most important dish, but I'm very satisfied with it.When choosing this ryokan, I looked at the dinner menus of various accommodations, and my girlfriend and I thought the food here looked good, so we chose it.This first impression was not wrong.Starting with raw conger conger liver, various conger conger dishes are brought out one after another.I also ordered Miyakobijin Kachofuugetsu Tsuki Junmai Ginjo unfiltered raw sake, which is a local sake from Awaji Island.It goes well with any conger conger dish for dinner.The sake itself is packed with flavor, and the slightly cloudy and thick texture goes perfectly with summer conger eel.Each dish is prepared in a different way, has a different texture, and requires a considerable amount of food, but it was a heartfelt meal that kept you satisfied until the end.My partner was very satisfied with the variety of conger conger dishes, the fun different textures, and the sake that went perfectly with them.I don't think you can get raw conger conger liver in vinegar unless it's a live conger conger.I was born and raised in Kyoto, and since I was a child I have eaten a lot of conger conger as a summer tradition, but this was the first time I had raw conger liver. It goes well with Japanese sake.Conger conger yakirai is made by grilling the skin of thickly cut conger conger fillets, giving it a firm texture and aromatic aroma, and is served with soy sauce.The conger conger hotpot comes with conger conger roe, although you mentioned conger conger roe.It doesn't have the hard texture of herring roe, but it also doesn't feel squishy, ​​and you can enjoy the texture of small, fine-grained eggs. It was the first time for me and my partner.Botan Conger was a dish that I had been interested in since the time my girlfriend and I were choosing a ryokan.This bowl of soup has a smooth texture and a gentle flavor from the soup stock that will soothe your soul.The Genpeiyaki conger conger was enjoyable because of the different textures and flavors of the salt-grilled and sauce-grilled conger.My partner loves turban shells, so he enjoyed the turban shells next door.Hamochiri is what they call Hamochiri in Kyoto.The Japanese ginger is hidden under the perilla leaves, and there are also flower spikes of shiso, which are full of condiments. Served with plum meat.The conger conger tempura has a crispy coating and the conger conger is thick, fluffy and juicy. It was delicious.The conger conger eel in the conger box sushi was extremely meaty and fluffy.The conger somen noodles are quite filling by the time you get to this point.He said that they use somen from Awaji Island.The soup stock was so gentle that even my girlfriend, who doesn't usually eat a lot, ate it.We had 4 cups of sake, which is usually not enough, but the food was so delicious and they served us so much that we ended up with a little extra sake.I've never been very drunk before, so I was enjoying seeing her so completely drunk that it was unusual for her to do so.Both my partner and I were very satisfied with the dinner.The breakfast was also quite large, and my partner, who ate too much dinner last night, couldn't finish it.The breakfast was all delicious with gentle seasonings.I think the rice is also from Awaji Island, and it was very delicious.I stayed for one night, but I was really satisfied with both dinner and breakfast.Lastly, there's the hot spring bath, but the moment you step in, it becomes smooth and smooth, as if you've applied lotion.The water temperature is a little high, but it's not too hot and I think it's great for winter.You would think that the quality of the hot springs would make the floor and bathtub slippery, but it was interesting to see that the hot springs here were not slippery and still left your skin feeling silky smooth.Your skin will be smooth after taking a bath.I was very satisfied with the food and the hot springs.thank you very much.

I stayed with my grandfather, his wife, and four 3-month-old infants. Both the meal and the bath were satisfying. The blowfish is crunchy and the bath is melty! Although I didn't use it this time, the bath was also equipped with a baby bath and bumbo. In addition, we ate in a private room so we didn't have to worry about other people around us, and we had a bed provided for our child.Definitely a repeat!

The service from the reception to the final farewell, the full course of puffer fish I had booked, and the wait staff's response and behavior during the room meal were all excellent.Unfortunately, I didn't have time to go to the hot springs.Also, if you have the chance, this is a place you definitely want to go to.
