Kaiseki Inn Ogiya

We stayed to celebrate my mother’s birthday. We had a hard time choosing an Accommodation, but it turned out to be a truly satisfying stay. Every meal was delicious, and with each dish we found ourselves saying out loud, “This is so good.” We also enjoyed the Onsen in the in-Room bath and the private bath, and were able to warm up and relax at our own pace. Just one thing: it would have been helpful if towels were also prepared in the downstairs Room. My mother was very happy as well, and said that among all the Accommodations she has stayed at so far, Ogiya had the best food. Thank you for such a blissful time.

Dinner was an authentic kaiseki meal. Each dish felt carefully prepared, and the rice was perfectly cooked with every grain distinct and delicious. Breakfast was Japanese-style, but it also included fresh milk before the meal and yogurt and coffee afterward, making it a varied menu that never felt repetitive. The tableware included Nabeshima-style pieces as well as Takeo ware, both with a lovely texture and character. The ohagi served upon arrival was so good that we took it home to enjoy later, and it was outstanding as well. The bath could be reserved for private use, which made it very relaxing. The water wasn’t too hot, so we could soak at a comfortable pace. The service was also very attentive, making for a truly pleasant one-night stay.
