      “satisfaction”

      Although it was a small inn, I was satisfied with the hospitality, room, bath, and meals. I was especially satisfied with the breakfast, which was freshly prepared with vegetable juice and tofu. I would like to stay here again.

      “Exceptional”

      The only negative - it's not easy to get to Kuhe Ryokan by public transport especially when Japanese is not your native language (we rented a car). Otherwise, this was one of the best ryokan experience in Japan. Cuisine, atmosphere, staff, everything was

      “最高の料理旅館”

      幾多の温泉旅館に宿泊していますが、これまでで最高の食事でした。料亭の懐石にも負けないレベルです。一品一品へのこだわりが素晴らしく、手がかかっているばかりでなく、温かいものは温かく、冷たいものは氷の上に置かれるなど工夫されています。お米一つにも吟味され、炊き方も見事でした。夕食朝食でお米の銘柄が変えているのもこだわりですね!? また誤って夕食のみのプランで予約していましたが、快く朝食付きに変更して頂くなど、接客も大変良かったです。朝食も普通の旅館の夕食を上回るレベルで、料理の為だけでも絶対にまた行きたい旅館です。また温泉や風情のある小庭園も中々良かったです。

      旅館の従業員接客、お風呂、食事内容満足した。朝散歩した梅林公園で四季咲の桜、竹林、紅葉が素晴らしい。また旅館で案内された農協直売所での買い物にも満足しました。もっと積極的に案内すべきだと思う。
