Ryokan Kotobukitei

After realizing that I wouldn't be able to travel for a while after giving birth, I decided to stay here with my 4-year-old son. I was grateful for the pick-up service from another parking lot due to the snow. As we ascended the mountain, the scenery transformed into a snowy wonderland, which was very exciting. As mentioned in many reviews, the staff, including the bus driver, were incredibly polite and attentive. When borrowing toys, they interacted kindly with my son, which made me very happy. Dinner was served in our room, allowing us to enjoy our meal without worrying about others and spend a relaxing time. Each dish was carefully prepared and delicious. Even my husband, who usually eats a lot, felt full with the generous portions provided—he was thoroughly satisfied! Thank you also for accommodating my dietary needs during pregnancy by avoiding raw ingredients and other considerations. At breakfast, there was a kids' buffet that delighted my son immensely. We rented a private bath made of cypress wood and enjoyed an elegant atmosphere—it felt luxurious! The showerhead and hairdryer were high-quality ReFa products as well; this attention to detail made me happy too. There were plenty of baby-friendly rental items available as well; once things settle down after giving birth, I would love to stay here again! Thank you very much!

The building itself has a rich sense of history, and stepping inside feels like being transported back in time.What moved us most was the dining service.

Every dish was exquisitely presented like an artwork, with layered flavors that conveyed genuine dedication and sincerity.Although everything here is excellent, there is one small point to keep in mind: this place is best for light travel. As the building preserves its original historic structure, bringing two or more large suitcases may make moving around and carrying luggage somewhat inconvenient.
