Truly speechless. This exquisite luxury inn located in the remote countryside of Nasushiobara, Tochigi, truly embodies the epitome of the word omotenashi. From the friendly staff to the hardworking owner/executive chef, you can genuinely feel their compassion and their willingness to surpass our customer service experience. You can instantaneously sense their genuine care and warmth throughout their amenities offered, delectable kaiseki cuisine layed out on beautiful ceramics, an extremely mindful layout of furnishings and wall fixures implemented by the owner which further welcomed us with the notion of comfort and total sense of relaxation. The room that we stayed in are equipped with heated floors, high ceilings, a spacious balcony facing the river and a serene waterfall, high quality massage chair, tatami area with comfy cushions, 2 bathrooms, comfy seating areas, a spacious ofuro tub with great water pressure and maintains a perfect temperature..... the list goes on. The facilitiy offers complimentary beverages, 2 saunas, hot bed rock bath, a spa, public baths with a unique standing bath tub for elders to easily walk in instead of having to climb over, and again, the list goes on. You can truly feel the depth of their passion to provide the best customer experience from the moment you walk to the moment you leave. My mom and I want to applaud and give major kudos to Mr. Kunihiko and his mother who also owns a well renouned Fujiya Ryokan located in close proximity. As a mother and son team, working endless hours to create one of the best ryokan in my opinion, unlike other large cookie cutter corporate ryokans, this one embodies a soul filled with true warmth and hospitality. Seriously, you could not ask for more. This place is truly sensational. **Also would like to add the spa treatments were one of the best we've experienced thus far. As avvid massage goers, we have travelled all over the world in search of therapists with exceptional skill sets.My picky mom fell in love with their techniques so we ended up booking back to back treatments. Tip: You can inquire to book with them prior to 11 am check out.

上塩原、箒川のほとりに建つ20室以下のお宿ですが、昨年できたメゾネットタイプの離れに家族4名で宿泊しました。 階段のない特別室を希望していましたが、予約出来なかった為、最初は卒寿の母の利用をかなり心配しました。 しかし上下階にトイレがあり、洗面所、露天風呂、シャワーブースが2階にある為、老齢の母でも2階のベットルームを使用し色づき川越しに始めた紅葉の眺めを楽しむことが出来ました。 大浴場は夜10時に男女が入れ替わるので、上手く時間調整をすれば3箇所のお風呂を楽しめますし、無料で岩盤浴を1時間利用させていただきました。 部屋にマッサージチェアがあったことはとても良かったのですが、モミ玉が強すぎるので専らAirだけで使用しておりました。 落ち着いた大人のお宿として那須・塩原周辺ではお薦めの旅館だと思います。
