Takimi no Yado Yutorelo Nasu Shiobara

Guestroom: We stayed in a Western-style room; the wallpaper and other details were clean, and the room was well maintained.Service: We didn’t see many staff members, but the bus driver and the dining hall staff were very pleasant.Onsen: The open-air bath was amazing!The changing area had lockers with keys, which was great.Meals: Some Reviews mentioned there are many pre-prepared items; there were some, but everything was thoughtfully arranged, and we enjoyed our meal while finding it delicious. The all-you-can-drink option was also a nice bonus.Other: We used the Shuttle Service bus, and the driver also provided sightseeing information, which was helpful.This Accommodation was so good for the price that I almost felt bad. We would definitely like to stay again.

First, check-in is fully digital. If you’re not used to using a smartphone or tablet, it might feel a bit unfamiliar. However, there was a staff member available, so I think you’ll be fine.Before entering the Room, you choose a yukata on the first floor, and once you step inside… it’s so clean and lovely!Also, the welcome drinks are all-you-can-drink. There were snacks and waffles too. I mostly had milk and orange juice.Next up was the bath. It was spacious and very clean. The only disappointment was that the waterfall feature wasn’t running—I wondered if there was a switch for it.The open-air bath had rock surfaces and trees right in front of it, which really made it feel like being outdoors.Then dinner: buffet style. The selection isn’t huge, but everything was high quality and delicious. Personally, I loved the tempura—especially the horse mackerel with shiso tempura (rolled or sandwiched), which was outstanding, so I had plenty (haha).They also provided tendon sauce (which is rare), so I made my own tempura rice bowl—absolutely delicious.On top of that, there was all-you-can-drink alcohol included as well—such great value (haha).Breakfast: compared to dinner it felt more standard (sorry!). Still tasty though.I used the Shuttle Service bus from Nasu-Shiobara Station, and the driver was very pleasant.I had such a relaxing stay at an easy pace—completely satisfied. I’d love to visit again within this year. Thank you very much.
