On weekends and holidays, we went sightseeing in Chichibu City, Saitama Prefecture, and stayed at Tomogawa-so, which has been in business for 100 years.After checking in, we enjoyed an ancient cypress mineral spring bath and had dinner at 7pm.I'll get it right away.·dinnerA variety of dishes such as peony hotpot, assorted sashimi, salt-grilled sweetfish, grilled mushrooms in foil, and chawanmushi.The main dish, Botan Nabe, has wild boar meat covered in miso and is visually appealing and delicious.The sweet miso-based peony hotpot has no wild odor and has a nice crunchy texture!The sashimi platter consisted of 5 types including tuna, yellowtail, and salmon, and it was fresh and delicious.The salt-grilled sweetfish has a good seasoning and is soft and delicious, and the foil-grilled mushrooms have a nice texture.The bamboo shoots and walnuts have a tangy taste with the sansho pepper, and the alcohol goes well with it.The vinegared food served with apples is garnished with rare rock mushrooms and has just the right amount of sourness.To finish off the meal, we had mushroom rice and mushrooms steamed in a clay pot, which was delicious and filled your mouth with the flavor of the mushrooms!The white birch sap we received at the hotel had a gentle sweetness, and the wine was pleasant to the palate.I am very grateful that the owner personally goes into the mountains to collect the white birch sap and rock mushrooms.·BreakfastContents include grilled free-range chicken with eggs, salt-grilled salmon, cold tofu, salad, stews, miso soup, and rice.The tamagoyaki, made with locally famous brand eggs, has a rich yolk flavor and a soft texture!The thick salt-grilled salmon had just the right amount of salt, and the simmered salmon was delicious.The salted cherry blossoms that come with the pickles have been pickled for 5 years, and have just the right amount of salt and a strong cherry scent!The dessert after the meal is delicious with matcha parfait and blended coffee with lots of fruits!Thank you for the meal.The dinner, including the peony hotpot, was delicious with a variety of creative ingredients.The breakfast was basic, but the food was well seasoned and the food was good.It was a cozy and long-established inn where you could enjoy a carefully prepared dinner and breakfast!

anyway! The food is delicious! allPeony hotpot, char with roe, steamed egg custard, sashimi platter (deluxe) appetizers, oyster rice (chestnut and mushroom flavor) steamed in clay pots, grilled mushrooms in foil, and desserts such as whole apples, rock mushrooms, and apricots. , Delicious, all handmade💓This is amazing✨✨ Hot things stay warm and cold things stay cold! ! Char with babies is hot! Meals will be served in your room, and by the end it will be around 7:30pm, so you may have to wait.The breakfast was amazing again. I had a choice of boiled tofu and cold tofu, tamagoyaki and raw egg. When I chose boiled tofu and raw egg, there was a big bowl of boiled tofu. When I chose omelet, it was an omelet with lots of butter. It was also delicious, but...it wasn't the amount I would have eaten in the morning🤣The number of accommodations I would like to visit again. It's 1🫶

I visited here to tour the Chichibu Kannon sacred site. When I was looking for a place to stay, this inn had very good reviews, and I was drawn to the rare wild boar hotpot. When I arrived at Seibu Chichibu Station, they came to pick me up, which was very helpful! As soon as I arrived at the hotel, I took a bath in the hot springs. It was a private bath that could be used freely 24 hours a day, so we had a relaxing time. The water quality is very good and smooth! Is this enough for dinner? There were so many, but the owner's passion and good taste were evident in each item! Precious white birch sake, tree sap, rock mushrooms collected by the owners in the mountains, lots of mushrooms, wild boar hotpot, steamed in clay pots...I was full, but I couldn't bring myself to leave anything behind and ate it all. Ta. The owner is a very rare genius and it's so much fun to talk to him!The breakfast the next morning was surprisingly large, but each item was once again amazing. Both the coffee and the full-bodied matcha dessert are both fragrant.Thank you very much for all your help! Also, we will definitely stay at the Akatsuki where we have prayed to the Kannon sacred place! Please stay healthy and continue to draw new paintings.

I went with my parents during the pre-coronavirus period.Is this what you want for dinner? I ended up putting out a huge amount. Moreover, everything was so delicious that I regret not being able to finish the last dish that was served.Since there were 3 of us visiting, I was pleasantly surprised by how non-commercial he seemed to be, handing me white grape sparkling juice (Kaldi).On the day we stayed, there was a lot of pollen floating around, so I was very surprised to see that my mother's eyes, which were unable to open, were able to open thanks to the effects of the ancient cypress bath.

I came to stay with my mother. This is my first Japanese inn. First of all, the food was so delicious that I can't put it into words. The host is also very knowledgeable and I learned a lot from hearing lots of interesting stories. We would love to stay with you again.
