Tofu Kaiseki Sarugakyo Hotel

The staff's hospitality was the best compared to any other accommodation I have visited. The room faced the mountain side, but the view of Akaya Lake from the lobby was indescribably beautiful. Next time, I would like to stay in a room with a view of Akaya Lake. The open-air bath made me feel as if I were surrounded by nature and was very relaxing. Both breakfast and dinner were satisfying meals. The soy milk bread was soft and delicious, so I made a reservation to buy freshly baked bread in the morning and brought it home. I definitely want to visit again!

It was an overnight stay with breakfast only, no dinner.The staff who welcomed us at the entrance were very pleasant.As soon as we arrived, it felt like the heating wasn’t on. You could order beer and other drinks in the lounge, but it was a bit chilly, so we didn’t really feel like staying. We carried our own luggage to the Room and went in. The air conditioner in the Room had been turned off, so it took a while to warm up. I wish it had been turned on in advance. Overall, it left us with the impression that it was cold.The bath is a bit of a walk, but the water was great and the temperature was just right, so we were satisfied. It would have been even better if there had been something like a lint roller in the changing area to pick up hair.Breakfast was excellent—their signature tofu and ganmodoki were delicious, and so was the rice. The soy milk bread was also very good. We were very satisfied with breakfast.
