Very nice Culinary Experience

The dinner was nothing short of amazing, featuring multiple exquisite courses that left us completely satisfied. Each dish was a good exploration of flavors and textures, making our dining experience lovely. The breakfast was equally wonderful, served in our own private room, allowing us to enjoy the meal in a serene environment.

Comfortable and Spacious Rooms

The Japanese-style room I stayed in was impressive, featuring a lovely seating area that overlooked a peaceful courtyard. I particularly appreciated the tea-making facilities that allowed me to unwind after a long day. The yukatas provided were incredibly comfortable and added to the authentic experience.

Clean and Functional Bathroom

The bathroom, while slightly dated, was clean and well-maintained. I was pleased with the strong water pressure, which made for a refreshing end to each day. It was great to have a functional space to prepare and refresh during my stay.

Our stay at this ryokan in the Okuhida Hirayu onsen region was simply magical, especially during winter. The family room provided a cozy space for all of us, and the dining experience exceeded our expectations with a feast of delicious meals. The onsen was a highlight with both indoor and outdoor options. However, keep in mind that the public bath incurs additional charges, which might be an extra expense to consider.
