Auberge of the Little Forest - Clarisse of the Flower Forest

This was my first stay here. As rumored, it was a truly wonderful auberge. The dining experience was thoughtfully presented, and I genuinely savored the pleasure of eating. Being able to enjoy the Onsen at any time was another highlight. Above all, the relaxed atmosphere and spacious setting were exceptional. The attention to detail in the furnishings was evident as well, making for a highly satisfying stay. Thank you very much.

We stayed in a Room with a private garden.Dinner was a French course meal—both the presentation and the flavors were outstanding.The open-air bath in the Room can be enjoyed 24 hours a day at the perfect temperature. The indoor bath also has a TV and a jet bath, and the bath salts and shampoo are Shiseido Rose Garden, so depending on the season, along with the roses in the garden, you’re surrounded by a soothing rose fragrance.You can also hear Japanese bush warblers singing and even meet adorable squirrels that visit the private garden.If the weather is nice, you can enjoy tea time in the garden or take the breakfast basket delivered to you and have sandwiches and soup outdoors.The Room felt spacious because it’s split between a living area on the first floor and a bedroom on the second floor, so we were able to relax comfortably.Unfortunately it rained this time, but it was still an absolutely wonderful stay.We’d love to come again!
