Ryokan Meiji

A hot spring inn founded in 1897 in Yumura Onsen Village, Kofu City. This is the inn where Osamu Dazai stayed for his writing. It's a Showa retro inn, but the corridors were polished and shiny. However. Everything is old, so I think staying is tough for nervous people. The room was spacious, but the washbasin was small and the water (well water?) was written as non-drinkable, so I regretted not bringing a mineral water bottle (there is a bot with hot water) ). There is no washlet in the toilet in the room (on the second floor). There was Wi-Fi in the room. It was a very cold day, but the heating in the room worked well (we also rented a humidifier). The bath is only an indoor bath without an open-air bath, and it is a hot spring flowing directly from the source. It is a beautiful hot spring with lukewarm water that makes your skin smooth. Plenty of hot water flows into the bathtub. There is no force of the shower. It was a good shampoo treatment body soap for the women's bath, but my husband said that it was a normal rinse-in shampoo and body soap for men. We had our meals in the large hall, but social distancing was sufficient. The food was very good and every item was delicious and satisfying. Yamanashi Katsunuma red wine was happy for 2100 yen, and it was perfect for horse sashimi and roast beef. Since it was New Year's Eve, they brought toshikoshi soba to my room around 9 o'clock in the evening and ate it while watching red and white. For breakfast on New Year's Day, I thought that ozoni would be served, but I was thrilled to be served osechi with ozoni. Conversation with the friendly proprietress was fun, and it was a memorable stay for the year-end and New Year holidays.

An inn with a connection to Osamu Dazai. Quite frankly, it's old. It feels old and a little unmaintained. I don't think it's suitable for people with a sense of cleanliness. In other words, it has a taste, I guess. My husband showed me the room, but for some reason he said, ``I'm a man, so I can't serve tea. Well, it's a customer service business, so it doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman when it comes to making tea, right? The food is normal. The bathroom is very old and a bit dirty.
