Nihon Iro

Living in Shizuoka, I stayed at Konparu with my grandchildren visiting from Tokyo and our beloved dog. The kitchen is well equipped for simple self-catering, so it feels like a private rental villa. The Facility was clean and well stocked with amenities. Breakfast was delicious, the women in charge were pleasant, and the front desk staff were kind. The Onsen Facility about a 500 m walk away was also great. We said we’d like to stay in a different Room next time.

This was our first stay at an Accommodation that allows cats.The Room was a spacious maisonette-style layout, and we were able to enjoy our favorite videos on a large screen with the projector, which made for a very comfortable stay. The breakfast in particular was delicious—both of the rotating daily menus were excellent.In the evening, we ordered Uber and also picked up ingredients at a local supermarket, then did some light cooking in the in-room kitchen, which was really convenient. When making the Reservation this time, our plans for that night weren’t set yet, so we didn’t book dinner—but next time I’d definitely like to enjoy using the shichirin grill.Overall, this stay was very comfortable. If I were to visit again, one request would be to add protective padding under the lower stair treads above the kitchen shelves under the stairs—I knew it was there but still bumped my head a few times (laugh). Since this was a Multiple Night Stay, towels were replaced and trash was taken care of, but I felt that the toothpaste provided wasn’t enough in that size. If possible, I’d appreciate an extra supply for Multiple Night Stays.We were also very grateful that you prepared cat items such as a litter box; however, it would be even better if there were also a scoop for it (we used one we brought). Also, when sleeping on the bed near the stairs on the second floor, I noticed a slight operating noise from what seemed like ventilation.I understand it may not be avoidable due to the location, but if only parking spaces at the back (for small cars) are available, parking can be somewhat difficult. Lastly—this may not be related to your Facility—but even after 11:00 PM there were people (I’m not sure if they were other guests or locals) being very loud and excited outside. It bothered us quite a bit (and since staff weren’t on site at that time, I wasn’t sure whether it was appropriate to call).I ended up writing quite a lot—but it truly was a wonderful Accommodation where we’d love to stay again if we have another chance (my family member who stayed with me was very satisfied). Thank you very much for taking such great care of both us and our cat during our stay.
