Thank you for all the help you have given me.I stayed here after visiting Tenkawa Benzaiten Shrine.The inn was run by a husband and wife team, and they were very kind, and they said that the food was country cuisine, but many of the ingredients were familiar to me, so I felt like I was at home. Traveling is great for refreshing yourself!Making amago [it was still working! ], boiled. This food was not normally eaten. Other dishes such as wild vegetables were also very delicious. Homemade sesame tofu. Homemade plum wine. There were so many homemade items! It's a complete meal! The rice in the bowl too!For breakfast, bean rice with peas! luxury~!I wonder why. When I travel, my appetite increases! wwwThis time I was traveling alone. Next time I will come with my wife!Everyone please go!

When I was an elementary school student, I attended a forest school. Can even elementary school students eat it? I don't know if that's the case, but I remember receiving a hot pot. It was really delicious.I also have fond memories of the people at the inn.I was refused because I was traveling with children. There was a review like that, but I don't think an inn that accepted about 25 elementary school students would turn them down because they were children. Maybe something happened?I was researching hot spring inns and remembered this place, so I wrote down my impressions (__)

After it was dedicated to Tenkawa Shrine, it was used directly.I was soothed by the variety of hearty dishes made with local ingredients.I would definitely like to go there again.

I used it when climbing Mt. Hakkeigatake. This is extremely valuable in an area where there are few accommodation facilities. I stayed there during a three-day weekend in November 2013, and I think there were many guests there for mountain climbing purposes. It was a beautiful time for autumn leaves, and there were many visitors just for the purpose of autumn leaves, but I think they were just for the day. There are no alcohol vending machines. There is one retail store nearby, so buy it while it's open. The food was delicious, and the next day I had breakfast packed into a bento box and ordered lunch as well. The next day I headed to Odaigahara. It takes about an hour and a half to reach the same place.

I used it the night before climbing a mountain. It's not often that a ryokan will turn your breakfast into a bento box. Moreover, the landlady is so nice that she responds to our requests at 6am. I hope you stay healthy forever.The lunch box was gorgeous with lots of side dishes. I ordered a boxed lunch for lunch, and it was delicious. The photo was taken at noon.
