THE SCENE Hamanako

It’s a wonderful place!I’d been wanting to visit for a long time, and when the price became very reasonable at the last minute, I decided immediately. Even though it was peak season, they kindly accommodated various sudden changes that would normally be impossible. They met us at the station on the day and even called my dog by name—such a warm welcome right away. The staff were all lovely and truly soothing.The Haagen-Dazs was a mini assortment, and the drinks were all-inclusive, which we gratefully enjoyed. The meals were also excellent, making great use of local ingredients. If I had to say one thing, I felt the dessert was just a bit childlike—but that’s part of its charm.After that, we enjoyed an oxygen capsule for the first time with our pet; the large public bath was spacious, and we fully enjoyed the sauna as well.The next morning’s breakfast also let us enjoy just the right amount with drinks and salad served buffet-style.Everything up to the Shuttle Service on our way back became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.P.S. Next time, I’m planning a Multiple Night Stay—looking forward to it!

The hospitality was wonderful, and I was happy that you remembered our dog’s name at check-in and greeted her by name. This is a truly dog-first Hotel, and I was impressed by the staff’s thoughtful attention to detail. The food was absolutely delicious, and you even checked in with us at just the right time when we wanted coffee—I could really feel how carefully you were looking out for us. It was also a great experience to dine with so many other dogs around. And since Merci’s birthday is coming up soon, you surprised us with a cake plate for her. Celebrating with sparklers and applause was the best gift ever! The Room was lovely as well, and both the indoor dog run and outdoor dog run were spacious. This is a Hotel we would definitely love to visit again!!
