In early October, a little before the peak autumn colors, I enjoyed a relaxing trip on the Hanawa Line. Because there are not many trains, I arrived too early on the way in, but they kindly provided Shuttle Service both ways.The Room was a very spacious second-floor guest room with an open-air bath, and it was extremely comfortable for spending long hours at ease. However, the Onsen temperature felt a bit hot for me, and the ceramic tub was deep, so it was slightly difficult to get in. This is just personal preference, but it might have been even better if there were a more lukewarm temperature like the large public bath and enough space to stretch out.Dinner was served in the Room and was delicious and relaxing. This was thanks to the very kind and friendly woman in charge of our Room service, who paced everything perfectly while checking on us—thank you very much. The main steak and abalone were served early enough that we could enjoy them before getting too full. The shabu-shabu came toward the end, but it was also an appropriate portion and easy to finish. Even though the sea is far away, the sashimi was fresh and delicious.In addition to complimentary champagne, we also enjoyed local beer and a sake tasting set that paired well with the meal. Because the dining area is separated from the bedroom area, cooking smells did not spread into where we slept. The large table with several candles created a wonderful atmosphere.Breakfast is buffet-style with many options; everything is easy to take in small dishes, it wasn’t noisy or crowded, and we could enjoy it at a relaxed pace as well. Everything tasted great and I ended up eating too much—but since check-out was at 12:00 p.m., I could take another bath, doze off a bit, and spend an unhurried morning timefully.Even though railway tracksand roads are nearby,, itit wwas quiet.. If this Accommodation were closer,, I would visit again againand again.. Thank you for taking care of us.. Thank you very much..

Various event rooms, footbath rooms, a beautiful garden and tea house, JVC audio subtly placed in the room, clean rooms, and delicious in-room dining. The owner's creativity is evident everywhere, making it a wonderful accommodation full of hospitality. Oh, and even the small details like the stylish lock on the toilet door were impressive. Just one thing to note for everyone: We stayed in a room where the bedroom was slightly elevated. My husband seemed to be half-asleep at night and stepped off the bed without noticing the difference in level, causing him to stumble and fall. Thankfully he wasn't seriously hurt, but please be careful.By the way, Fudo Waterfall near the accommodation is a must-see!
