I first visited last year and was truly impressed, so I returned to try the cuisine in the next season.The result was a meal that exceeded my expectations—I was completely satisfied. Now I’m already tempted to come back again, which is a pleasant problem to have.As this was my second visit, I was also looking forward to possibly seeing the person who kindly took care of me last time, but unfortunately we didn’t get to meet.To the butler who looked after me so well this time, and to the wonderful female restaurant staff member whose attentive care in every detail stood out—if I have the chance to visit again and see you, I would love to thank you in person. However, as we may not be able to meet again, please allow me to express my sincere gratitude here.Thank you for making my stay so comfortable.Of course, I am also deeply grateful to the chef and the president. I look forward to visiting again.

This was my first visit to an auberge I’d been wanting to try for a long time. It lived up to its reputation—if anything, it slightly exceeded my expectations.We chose the River Terrace Suite Room, and everything was flawless: the space, Facility, and amenities. We also thoroughly enjoyed the bath along with the view.The dining was equally impressive, with beautifully presented dishes. As someone who loves drinks, I paid close attention to the pairing menu, and the pairings—including sake—were outstanding. The additional bottarga pasta was exquisite as well. Breakfast was also visually delightful, and I appreciated being able to choose both the cooking style and sauce for the egg dish.The service was perfect too. I’d love to return again in a different season!
