Harumiya Ryokan

We stayed at this accommodation to celebrate our wedding anniversary and had a very pleasant experience overall. The room was a clean Japanese-style room, well-maintained despite its age. The sunken kotatsu was a delightful touch. The staff were all very cheerful and kind, making us smile with their warm hospitality. Their slightly local accent added charm to the experience. The onsen was rich and soothing, with just the right temperature for long soaks. There were plenty of private baths available relative to the number of rooms, which we enjoyed multiple times. Although the building is old, its location is excellent, offering beautiful scenery whether it’s raining or sunny in the morning. While there isn’t a souvenir shop on-site, there are several local craft stores nearby such as kokeshi doll shops that are worth exploring during a stroll. You’ll find everything from modern cafes to nostalgic traditional shops in the area. Meals featured seasonal spring ingredients like local vegetables and wagyu beef along with delicious rice—very satisfying despite their modest appearance! Local sake was also available for enjoyment, making for an exceptional dining experience unique to springtime flavors. Overall satisfaction was high with reasonable pricing; this accommodation comes highly recommended for many travelers!

We stayed for one night as a couple to celebrate a 60th birthday and retirement. All 10 rooms feature private open-air Onsen baths, and we chose a room with a sunken kotatsu. The interior, made of solid cedar wood, was beautifully crafted and impeccably clean. We were also surprised to find a projector and large screen in the room. Additionally, the indoor bath and rooftop open-air Onsen were all private and fed by natural hot spring water. The water itself was gentle on the skin, leaving it smooth and soft.The meals were meticulously prepared using local ingredients, offering an exquisite menu perfect for adults. Since we had informed them about our retirement celebration in advance, they kindly provided complimentary cider for our toast.The hospitality was exceptional, making this trip truly unforgettable. It offered a serene experience that large hotels simply cannot provide. We look forward to visiting again during another season!
