Gokiri

A spacious, new, and stylish Room, and a wonderful Hotel filled with a satoyama countryside atmosphere. The meals had a story behind them, and we enjoyed them even more with the explanations provided. We decided on this trip at the last minute just one day before, and since it seemed a bit empty we were worried—but no, it was top-notch. The large public bath and the open-air bath were also fantastic. If I had to mention one downside, the free sherbet after the bath tasted strongly of the wrapper and wasn’t very good (though my family liked it). Also, the manual for the wood-burning stove was hard to understand—there wasn’t enough explanation and there were too many missing characters (but being able to use the wood-burning stove yourself was also lovely, like an attraction).

We stayed in the 10m glamping dome as a couple, and we were thrilled by how spacious and luxurious it was. The Onsen was also clean, left our skin feeling moisturized, and we went in three times. Above all, we were extremely satisfied with the meals! Thanks to the staff’s thoughtful care, their detailed explanations of each dish, and how kindly they answered our questions, it was truly a wonderful time. Each dish was beautifully presented—it felt like an art museum you can eat at (in the best way). We also appreciated all the little touches on the property: roasted sweet potatoes, coffee ground from whole beans, welcome drinks, and even happi coats provided. The hospitality was outstanding. This is definitely one Accommodation we’d love to stay at again if we have the chance.
