This is an Instagrammable inn.First-time visitors will be impressedI think they really worked hard even though the coronavirus seemed to have hit hard.However, as someone who was moved by Hashimotoya a dozen years ago, I am aware that this may be due to the influence of the times.It's a shame that the service and food have been reduced and the unique and wonderful aspects of Hashimotoya seem to be disappearing.The bamboo basket room that I liked this time had a musty smell from the moment I entered.I couldn't stop sneezingEven when I was sleeping, the smell of mold always hit my nose and I felt like I was inhaling mold spores, so I couldn't sleep.I thought I was the only oneThis is what everyone said when I visited with my family a few years ago.I can't say anything about the service as it changes over time.However, it cannot be denied that rooms with open-air baths are very humid and prone to mold growth, so it seems that some kind of countermeasure is necessary.

I've always wanted to go to a rabbit inn.There are rabbit figurines, accessories, and pictures all over the hall, making it a must-see for rabbit lovers!There is a welcome drink, and you can drink alcohol too!There are also sweets.I stayed in the Beni no Hana room.It was a very spacious, clean, and relaxing space, and the hot water in the open-air bath outside the room was really nice.Dinner is also very delicious and the food is beautiful. And the rabbit tableware and accessories are cute ^ ^Best of all, the beef fillet steak from Yamagata Prefecture was tender, and my mother, who went with me, raved about it, saying, "It's delicious!"My mother always complains about things, but she was very happy and complimented everything about the food, the room, etc., so I think it was a good thing.The souvenir corner is also full of rabbits and is the best.I bought too much so I had it delivered to me.It's a very nice accommodation with perfect staff service.It was very soothing.I would definitely like to go again.

I stayed in a room with an open-air bath (Beni no Hana).It was the best inn I've ever stayed at.It's self-service, but there are welcome drinks and alcohol available.Especially for dinner, there is an additional charge of 4,400 yen per person, but if you like meat, you should definitely add it to upgrade the volume of the dish.The Yamagata beef steak was very tender and plentiful, and I was very satisfied.The dining area is private and very quiet.The room was clean and the view was great.The customer service was excellent and there was nothing I disliked.

There was hospitality that is not found in large inns. There was a free welcome drink 🍷🍺, and it wasn't crowded, so I was able to relax in a space where I could enjoy music called Onzo. Evening and breakfast are served in a private room. The Yamagata beef 🐮 steak was cooked exactly as ordered and was delicious. The cold sake setting is also perfect🍶. The staff smiled and said they were happy to work here, and I felt that this was reflected in the host's hospitality. I was impressed by the use of sensor lighting in the room. The open-air bath in the room was a little hot, but it might be good for this season. I thoroughly enjoyed ♨ while enjoying the hydrangeas in the garden. There is also a shower room in the bath, which was convenient (^^)The flowers 💐 everywhere in the building were also wonderful.

The smiles from all the staff are wonderful.I was glad that the meals were served in a private room rather than a buffet, so I could spend time with my family without any hesitation.

The room we stayed named "Mansaku" was really amazing, chill and comfortable. It has private hot springs in that room, whose temperature is just good.The best thing was the hotel's laxually meals. Its taste was awesome, and in addition, it looks gorgeous with various types of ingredients picked by its local area.They marked rabbit as their concept in a whole place, including in some tableware like spoon or pot. They make customers have fun even in a way of looking. You can buy some in the shop inside the hotels.

I came here because I wanted to take a bath in the open-air bath carved out of a rock. Dinner is a course of beef shabu and beef steak. Very tasty and plentiful. The grilled rice balls for dinner were well-seasoned and the rice was delicious, so I ate them up even though I was full.The open-air bath was nice, but the amenities were not replenished and ran out quickly. I would like you to look around the public bath a little more.I'm happy to be able to drink alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks such as beer between check-in and dinner, but I was bothered by the lack of tea such as oolong tea, black tea, and Japanese tea.All the staff members were very nice.
