This is the perfect inn for a relaxing stay.The food was delicious, and the bath was private, so it felt luxurious. The only thing I was concerned about was the bathroom. There are two types of baths, one of which you can specify the time of day, and the other bath that you can use on the spot if there is a vacancy. I felt it was difficult to time the trip during busy times.The room was clean and I was able to relax and spend time there.I am very grateful to the people at the hostel for their kind treatment. My parents who went with me also praised it highly, so I'm glad I chose this accommodation!

The owner is very friendly. Boutique hotel with 5 Rooms and are very spacious and good. Three onsens here and one offer great views of the mountains.||Price includes free access to the onsens and half board. Half board well worth it as Japanese breakfast and dinner is excellent.||One of best hotels we ever stayed in.

I was healed by nature, soothed by cooking, and soothed by the hydrogen bath.It's nice that there are two baths and both can be reserved for private use, but on this day they were fully booked, so it was frustrating not being able to get in when I wanted.Immediately after checking in, I was bitten on the foot by an insect called a white-eye, so my daughter is sensitive to insects, so I thought it would be a good idea to put a screen in the bathroom.The food was excellent.

I visited on the day of my birthday.The food was very delicious, just like everyone's reviews. Thank you very much for your consideration on my birthday.Even my husband, who is a big eater, was very satisfied.Not only the famous soft shell but also the dressing was very delicious.The plan included alcohol, but I also ordered local sake, which made me happy as a drinker.There were strict measures against infectious diseases, and paper cups were even provided in the bathroom of the room.The inside of the building is clean and shiny.I forgot something and he didn't even notice, but thank you for your kind response.I would like to visit again during the autumn foliage season.

We stayed here to celebrate his birthday.I emailed them in advance to see if they could prepare a cake for a birthday celebration, or if they could change the menu since one of them can't eat fish. They said they were able to help with both, and I could feel their thoughtfulness from the text of the email.My impressions after actually staying there,First of all, the inside of the inn was very clean and the staff were all very kind. What impressed me most was the food. Each item was made with care and all were very delicious. Many seasonal ingredients were also used.The revised menu was also very delicious.Thank you very much for providing me with an additional hydrogen bath (actually for a fee) on my birthday.There were only a few rooms, so I was able to spend a quiet and relaxing time, and the private bath was also very nice.I would definitely like to stay there again and would recommend it to many people! !

Tanigawa Onsen, which I visited for the first time, was a quiet place surrounded by nature. As I saw in the reviews, this is an inn with delicious food. It was a seasonal menu that you could tell was carefully prepared. The hot springs are also relaxing. There are only 6 groups per day, so I think you can have a quiet and relaxing time. The room the three of us stayed in didn't have a toilet or sink, and it was just down the stairs. People with disabilities or the elderly should check this point.

Get ready to receive exceptional Japanese hospitality at this lovely small inn!We were so happy with the food here. Please make sure to include their award winning dinner and breakfast if you stay here! Very fresh ingredients, huge meals, and flavours were thoughtfully designed. We were told that you can even request a different main dish if you stay here for more than a night.They have small buns with red bean paste in the room which is also available for purchase in the inn. I've never tasted the texture of a bun like that, they were soft and chewy, very tasty, and they probably only make them on the day.They took great care to make sure everywhere was spotlessly clean and welcoming. Upon check-in they even wiped the wheels of our suitcases.Bathroom is shared but private, which is when you use it to take a shower/ hot spring, you can lock the door and enjoy the whole bathroom for yourself.If you visit this area, make sure you don't miss this place.
