Yanagawa Hot Spring Hotel Kisensou

I came to Yanagawa to try steamed eel in a bamboo steamer. Since I was traveling solo, I stayed at “Kisensou,” an Accommodation in the 10,000-yen range with breakfast and dinner included and excellent baths. The baths had both lukewarm and hot water, and since it’s an Onsen, I felt great even after getting out. The next morning, I had the bath all to myself. Dinner was also wonderful: the sashimi was very fresh, and dishes like kaburamushi and simmered daikon served beneath braised pork belly were beautifully arranged—so inspiring that I wanted to copy them at home. After returning home, I made kaburamushi right away. The staff were energetic, clear-spoken, attentive, and overall I was very satisfied.

You leave your shoes at the entrance. The property was spotless throughout, and you can move around without using slippers.The Onsen was very relaxing, and there was also an electric bath, which helped relieve the fatigue from walking around all day and left me feeling refreshed.Breakfast the next morning was very luxurious and filling. The foreign staff were also very polite and attentive, making my stay comfortable. Thank you very much.
