Yamaura Stay

I stayed at Hanato for one night and found it so comfortable that I wished I had booked two nights. The journey from Chino Station, filled with historical insights, heightened my anticipation before arrival. Both the interior and exterior were meticulously designed, and the stunning views left me in awe throughout my stay. I ordered the dinner set, which featured dishes that truly highlighted the natural flavors of the ingredients—absolutely delicious! The peaceful night ensured a great sleep, making me oversleep in the morning—it felt like morning came too soon. A minimum of two nights is definitely recommended. The hospitality during the Shuttle Service was unparalleled—thank you!

This was our third stay, and this time we stayed in Shimizu. Here are the highlights of our experience:- **Building Environment** A spacious single-story accommodation of 40 tsubo (approximately 132 square meters) with a dignified, mansion-like atmosphere. Upon arrival, the children were thrilled and ran around joyfully. Located at an altitude of 1130m in a highland area, it was cool enough to need long sleeves even during summer mornings and evenings.- **Charming Space** The design allows views of the lush garden from every window—north, south, east, or west. Spending time on the veranda in the evening while listening to the "Yuyake Koyake" chime was truly special.- **Bathing Experience** While the bathtub is not made of cypress wood, both the ceiling and walls are adorned with cypress wood that fills the space with its fragrance as soon as you enter. Even our child who usually dislikes baths eagerly wanted to bathe both at night and in the morning due to its comfort.- **Facilities** Equipped with a washing machine that includes a drying function—very convenient for traveling with children. Clothes dried quickly when hung on the veranda within half a day.- **Food & Time** We sourced local ingredients from nearby supermarkets and farms and enjoyed cooking in a spacious kitchen while admiring garden views. It felt like an extension of daily life yet offered such luxurious moments during our trip.It was an excellent stay where we could relax away from busy city life and refresh ourselves completely. We would love to visit again!
