Soba and Sake Oyado HIYAMA

From the station pick-up, the host warmly welcomed us and even showed us around the nearby area. The Accommodation was spotless, and we could use the private bath anytime. We were able to relax without hardly seeing other guests. The garden view from the Room and the bonsai at the entrance—this was an Accommodation with thoughtful touches in every detail. Above all, the meals made generous use of local ingredients. Dishes made with daikon harvested from their fields, ingredients sourced from nearby farmers, and delicious dashi were all carefully prepared one by one, and we could enjoy them with our eyes as well, served in charming tableware. Together with local sake that can only be enjoyed here, we had an outstanding meal. The soba served at the end had a texture, flavor, and aroma unlike anything I’ve ever had—an unforgettable experience. It was a wonderful Accommodation, and I’d love to return someday for a special anniversary.

We stayed to celebrate my companion’s birthday.From the thoughtful attention to detail and warm hospitality to the delicious meals, everything made for a truly comfortable experience.The homemade tea snacks were also excellent.We will definitely stay again when we visit Tochigi. Thank you very much.
