Yamanaka Onsen Kocho

My mother, younger brother, younger sister, and I stayed at Jurakudai in December. After my father’s sudden passing and my overseas assignment/business trips, I hadn’t been able to properly celebrate my mother’s 77th and 80th birthdays. After much thought, I made a Reservation believing that staying at Jurakudai with Kocho was the best way for her to truly enjoy herself—and it exceeded all expectations. My mother (and my brother and sister as well) were delighted, and even months later I’m convinced it was the best choice.Jurakudai is wonderfully luxurious, yet it also has a nostalgic Showa-era charm. It seemed to remind my mother of her family home before it was rebuilt, and she relaxed into that comforting atmosphere. The large indoor bath and open-air bath also brought back memories for her, and she took her time enjoying them at a very leisurely pace.Both dinner and breakfast were excellent in both quality and quantity—just as when my spouse and I stayed previously. The clearest proof is that my elderly mother finished everything without leaving a single bite.Our attendant was also incredibly entertaining, adding an extra touch that made our time even more enjoyable.At the very end an unexpected situation occurred, causing trouble for you all, and I feel truly sorry about that. However, thanks to the kindness and consideration of everyone on your team—especially the president—we were able to complete our trip without any major issues. We are deeply grateful.With sincere thanks once again, we would love to visit again in the future—please accept this as our Review.

We stayed as a couple in a Room with a private open-air bath. With an early check-in and late check-out, we were able to enjoy relaxing baths before dinner and before breakfast. The water temperature was just right, and the Onsen water felt smooth and wonderful. Dinner was served in a private dining room attached to our Room, with each dish brought out one by one, so we could take our time and enjoy a delicious meal. It was the perfect Accommodation for unwinding after a long time, and we were very satisfied.
