When I parked the car, the staff came over and helped me right away. The staff seemed to be well trained, but it felt a bit mechanical and manual. I asked for a Japanese-Western room with an open-air bath because I was bringing along an elderly person. The room was spacious, but the entrance space, washroom, and toilet were cramped and inconvenient. There was a top and bottom set like a work robe, not a yukata, but it looked like a medical examination gown, so I didn't feel like wearing it. There was no shower in the open-air bath, so when I washed in the unit bath, there was a gap under the door and water flowed outside, and I got soaked, so please be careful. (I wish they had said something.) The fun of traveling is the food, but it was not something I wanted to eat at all. Maybe they've learned their lesson, but they're too decorated, or they ignore the quality of the ingredients. Each dish was too assertive, and there was no harmony, and there was nothing to cleanse the palate. The color was black, and there was no gaiety or comfort. As I continued to eat, it got heavier, and as for the meat at the end, it's not good to just put anything on, whether it's beef or pork. The cow was a rubber-like thing for the elderly. The finishing touch should have been curry or miso chazuke! The cuisine should have been something that made the most of the wonderful ingredients of Tateshina. The food at the inn I stayed at the day before was simple and gentle, using ingredients from the mountains, so perhaps that was why I didn't like it so much. I probably won't be visiting again.
