An inn that feels like a hideaway. There are only a few rooms and the atmosphere is calm.The rooms are a little old, but they are well kept.Each staff member handles several roles, so timing is required when asking for errands.You can feel like you're traveling with the cuisine, which incorporates as much local ingredients as possible and dishes that are full of ingenuity.The parking lot is gravel and there are lots of grass, and it's on the back side of the inn, so it's a shame.

The building itself is not large, so it is very easy to move around for bathing and eating. Both dinner and breakfast were very satisfying in taste and quantity. was delicious. Above all, the young proprietress was a wonderful person. The hot springs and food were nice, but I think it was the people.

It was an inn with great hospitality.Although the number of staff is small, there is no shortage of polite customer service. This was ideal for my wife and I, who had avoided Japanese inns because we didn't like the idea of ​​excessive hospitality and gratuities.The bath had a moderate water temperature and I took a relaxing bath. The walls have been repaired and although it is old, it is clean. The problem is that the door to the open-air bath is a little difficult to open.Apparently, a company is working on a new initiative to buy out inns that are no longer in business and revitalize them. https://dreamhotel.co.jp/They are aiming to revitalize Shinshu, and Nagamineso in Azumino is also affiliated with it. I want to go there next time.Hotaka is a quiet villa area with especially lush greenery in Azumino, making it the perfect place to relax. I felt like visiting again. thank you very much.

This is a hot spring ♨️ hotel that specializes in gourmet food. There are not many tourists in the off-season. The hot spring has a small outdoor pool, which can be said to be reserved. It is a good experience with few people and not embarrassing.The food is surprising! Every dish at breakfast and dinner is delicious, more refined and professional than in large hot spring hotels. The dishes include appetizers, sashimi, tempura, barbecue, shabu-shabu, desserts, wine, etc.The service is great! The waiter greeted the guests with a smile throughout the whole process, introduced the dishes, called a taxi, etc., which is a five-star 🌟 review.The toilet in the room is very new, the overall Japanese style is quite satisfactory, the bed is comfortable, and there are few walking facilities around. The hotel is located in the middle of the mountain, suitable for driving by yourself, and there is a parking lot 🅿️.
