Ryokan Hanaya

It's charming and Very good.

It's conveniently located just a short walk from the station. The building is over 100 years old, so it's old-fashioned and relaxing. It was also great that we could try out three different types of baths. One of them was an open-air bath, and the changing room was outdoors, so I think you need to take precautions against the cold during the cold winter months. The inn also gave us free tickets to three public hot springs. The food was kaiseki cuisine, and the ingredients were delicious, including local wagyu beef shabu-shabu. There were temples and other sights to see around the inn, so it was a good place for a stroll.

When I checked in, I was surprised to see a woman wearing a Taisho Roman style arrow pattern and hakama. His demeanor is relaxed and truly retro. Impatient people may get irritated. Everything is Japanese retro. The lobby and the hallway that runs through the garden are truly retro. The scenery looked like something you could see in a historical drama. There are 3 baths. The two bathrooms are divided into a men's bath and a women's bath depending on the time of day. The open-air baths are separate for men and women, with separate entrances. Meals are taken in the dining hall, and the pillars and beams of this dining hall are reminiscent of a castle. At breakfast, the woman in yesterday's hakama and kimono was wearing a black dress and white apron. It was a Taisho romantic maid costume. Dinner includes 3 seasonal matsutake mushroom dishes. I had a relaxing time for the first time in a while.

We stayed in a detached room with an open-air bath. You can see the cherry blossoms from the open-air bath, and you can enjoy a luxurious time many times a day (because you took a bath many times). I think this is one of the few ryokan in Japan where you can enjoy authentic kaiseki cuisine. (Isn't it hard to find a ryokan that serves such authentic Japanese food?) The large public bath has a retro feel and the quality of the hot springs is good. It is an "extraordinary world" that shows us.

extraordinary world. . . In December, we stayed at a hot spring inn in Shinshu in winter. Bessho Onsen Ryokan Hanaya A registered tangible cultural property, this is a wonderful ryokan with a sense of Taisho romance.
