About 20 years ago, I stopped by by chance and ate some freshly made soba, and my grandmother, who is picky about flavors (she also owns a restaurant), said over and over how delicious it was. I visited a while ago. I felt nostalgic about the uncles and aunts from back then, and I was reminded of how delicious it was. A friend of mine who was accompanying me said that it was completely different from the soba he had eaten before, but since we are both big foodies, we ate onigiri from a convenience store afterwards. I would like to go again someday just to enjoy the taste.

I went in AugustI had stayed at Lake Shirakaba before and it was cool in the mornings and evenings.I chose Lake Shirakaba, a place where the mornings and evenings are cool.Kimimachiso was quite beautiful.It was great to see the lake from the room.The dinner was also delicious.Unfortunately, the drain in the bathroom was so clogged that it was difficult to drain.

The interior was beautiful and just like the photos in the reviews. The meal was smaller than it looked in the photo, but it was plentiful. The toilet was also clean and didn't smell bad. The bath was clean and the water was hot enough, and although it was around 8:30 p.m., I was able to enjoy it by myself. Even if you are not in your room, you can relax while having a drink at the counter near the entrance. Thank you, it was the same as the reviews.

▪️InteriorIt had been renovated and the interior was beautiful.The futon was a little thin, so that was the only thing that bothered me.▪️CookingThe dishes, such as the Shinshu salmon, were also carefully prepared and delicious.If you pay an additional fee, you can choose from craft beer, sake, shochu, wine, etc.I was satisfied with the variety of dishes.▪️LocationYou can see a panoramic view of Lake Shirakaba.▪️OthersPerhaps because it was a rainy day and there weren't many people, I had booked a room without a toilet, but they upgraded me to a room with a toilet.It was a reasonable but good stay.

I think I'll visit again if I ever come to this area.A satisfying dinner and breakfast with hot springs for 20,000 yen for two people.I thought it was pretty amazing.The food was delicious, of course, but I was especially impressed by the deliciousness of the rice.So I ordered a second helping of rice in the morning, but I felt that the flavor of the second one was a little off.Maybe I'm switching between the first and second servings? I would be surprised if there was such an operation, so I guess it's just my imagination, but I thought it was a very nice inn as you can walk along the lake and go to a convenience store.They have a nice lobby, but no one was using it, so it would be nice if they could have an extra charge or add 2,000 yen to the accommodation fee, so they could have all-you-can-drink alcohol there.
