🔸Japanese set meal (dinner): The staple food is mainly seafood, including salmon, eel, and sashimi. The ingredients are very fresh; every dish is carefully prepared and exquisite (the bowls and plates are also), it is like tasting a work of art. , it’s amazing; although the portions of each item are not large, the entire dinner portion is quite sufficient; there is also dessert after the meal, which is so delicious😋; they also thoughtfully prepare vegetarian food, which is really great…🔸Japanese and Western set meals (breakfast): A mix of Western and Japanese breakfast, in addition to pickles (a bit strong in taste), natto, fresh lettuce and yogurt, there are also special preparations for vegetarians, it’s delicious😋…👍Stayed for 2 nights, the dishes are different and delicious; the service is very attentive, attentive and considerate, it feels like home...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Worth visiting again!!

Anyway, the food was great, as other reviews have said. The food is full of originality from beginning to end, and there are many dishes that I have never eaten anywhere else. And all of them are delicious!I was very satisfied with the amount.

I chose this restaurant simply because it was in a convenient location for sightseeing in Hiraizumi, but after making the reservation, I checked the reviews and had high expectations based on the excellent food. As expected, I was very satisfied with the exquisite cuisine, which was a fusion of Japanese and Western cuisine.It was the cheapest plan that didn't include Wagyu steak, but the homemade meatball brown stew was also great.Since the food and customer service were good, the only thing I really regret is the drain in the bathroom. I wonder where it's stuck...I hope it can be improved.

I was looking for a place to stay for sightseeing and ended up staying here because of the reviews that the food was delicious.Exquisite as rumored.I heard that it was so delicious that it had been trained in Tokyo.In addition to the creative Japanese-Western cuisine, you can also enjoy local cuisine, which I thought was a meal fee rather than an accommodation fee.Also, the staff members are very warm-hearted. I felt that I was being treated wholeheartedly.The only thing to keep in mind is that it is a small inn and the rooms are small and there is no space to store your luggage.There were two outlets with two outlets, and there was plenty of power.You can also use the washing machine and dryer by paying 100 yen each. Disposable detergent can also be purchased at reception.To be honest, I don't want to tell too many people because I'd be in trouble if it became popular.

A number of exquisite dishes that everyone should try at least once.I went there with some expectations because I had heard word of mouth that the food was very good, but the food far exceeded my expectations! It looks cute, the bowl is cute, and most of all, it's extremely delicious.The head chef personally explained the dishes and said, ``It's very delicious,'' which was very impressive and made me smile. The portions are quite large, so make sure you go on an empty stomach.The proprietress and other staff members are all kind and polite, and I think this is a ryokan where you can make wonderful memories.The room looked like it had just been renovated and was very clean, and I was able to take a relaxing bath ♨️I want to go there again...!

The location is close to Hiraizumi Station and Motsuji Temple, and within walking distance to Chusonji Temple. You can leave your luggage at the inn, so you can walk around all of Hiraizumi, a world heritage site. …

I stayed alone for business. I didn't have high expectations as the price was reasonable, but I was disappointed in a good way.The rice was just delicious.Each and every item is carefully handcrafted, and there are many dishes that go particularly well with sake, so you won't be able to stop drinking. Appetizers, sashimi, soup, and main dishes were all delicious.The location is perfect for sightseeing as you can go directly to Motsuji Temple.This time I wanted to use it for a family trip rather than business.

I chose this inn because I wanted to go to Chusonji Temple.Dinner had a lot of variety, and I felt like they had put a lot of thought into creating delicious food, which was great!My mother, who was with me, was surprised when she heard the cost (^^)The response from the staff was also good. thank you for helping me.I'm going to Chuson-ji Temple, but when I was researching it, I found out that it takes about 10 minutes from the station to the inn, and from the inn to Chuson-ji Temple, it takes about 15 minutes. It's a gentle uphill climb, and it was sunny that day, so it must have been tough for my elderly mother. Travel time was also longer.It's a gentle uphill climb from the Chusonji entrance to the back, so I thought it would have been better to take a taxi to the parking lot near Konjikido and then descend from there to visit the shrine ^_ ^

The food was very delicious and they explained each dish one by one!The side dishes were so delicious that I ended up having to refill my rice!Next time I go, I want to eat less lunch and snacks before going!The staff and receptionist were so kind that I would like to go again!This is my personal opinion, but the only thing I really disliked was the matching mirror in the bathroom...💦However, I was provided with a hair dryer in my room, so I thought it was nice because I could dry my hair in my own room.It's very appealing to be able to take a bath at any time, but the lights at the front desk are turned off after 10pm at a small inn, so I was a little concerned about security... I thought it would be best to go before 10pm or early in the morning.Amenities such as towels, bath towels, and toothbrushes are provided.I think it is safe to prepare the necessary equipment in the room as it seems to be the bare minimum.There are no amenities for combing or tying your hair, so combs and hair ties are also essential.Contact supplies can be purchased for around 300 yen.The bathroom is only equipped with shampoo, conditioner, and body soap.The hair dryer in the bathroom takes a long time to dry long hair, so I think it's best to use the hair dryer in your room.Because it is surrounded by nature, insects can come in through the windows. It is better not to open the window.The room has a small refrigerator, brewable tea, kettle, and cups.If you cannot drink tap water, drinking water may be necessary.There are no shops.The parking lot is large.I made a reservation online, but paid on-site.

It is located a 3-minute walk from Motsu-ji Temple, so you can head there with plenty of time to spare after breakfast when the tour starts at 8:30. Of course, Chusonji Temple is also nearby. (2-30 minutes walk)I stayed on the standard plan that included dinner and breakfast.This inn is highly recommended for those who want to enjoy both dining and sightseeing.Especially at night, there don't seem to be many open restaurants around where you can eat, so it's definitely a dinner option.

The food for both dinner and breakfast was very delicious. Especially during dinner, I felt that they put a lot of effort into explaining each item. There were many flavors that went well with rice and alcohol, and I ate a lot.There is a yukata in the room, but you can rent a more stylish one for 300 yen.Amenities included toothbrushes and towels in the room, and cotton swabs in the public bath. There also seems to be skin care sets at the front desk.The room was also very clean and very comfortable.

It's reasonably close to the station, and Motsuji Temple is right in front of you. It was a good location for sightseeing in Hiraizumi. Also, as everyone's reviews have said, the quality of the food is excellent, each item is carefully prepared, and even the standards are quite satisfying. I would definitely like to choose the Miyabi course next time. The room was stylish and well-maintained, and although the bath was not large, it was clean and comfortable. The hostess's personality and attentiveness are also good! We had a wonderful time.
