Wonderful stay. Lovely kaiseki dinner. The staff were super attentive and friendly. The hot spings were clean and very relaxing after a long day walking and driving. Oh and the view from the room in the morning across the valley was stunning

Total relaxation and we'll needed downtime. The staff at this were wonderful and welcoming. The area was beautiful, the hotel looks out onto sweeping mountain landscape. We enjoyed the indoor onsen and slept soundly in our traditional accommodations. The food was very impressive, so carefully presented and delicious. We ate breakfast and dinner here but also tried some restaurants with walking distance that did not disappoint. A remarkable experience, thank you for your hospitality.

最悪ではないが、最高でもない

GW中に滞在して以下の感じだった。 ・施設は古い。汚れや使用感が目立つ。部屋にある机や椅子、畳なども年季が入っている。 ・食べ物は悪くない。山菜や海のものを食べられる。種類が豊富。 ・お風呂は内湯と外湯があるが、一方は外湯が使えず、内湯のみ。一方は一部外湯が使えない。 ・部屋からの眺望は良い。山々が遮るものなく見渡せる。 ・サービスは良い。おばあちゃんが優しく接するかのようなサービス。サービスの仕方に古さを感じるが、悪くはない。 このサイトでは9.0/10だったが、そこまでは感じない。悪くはないが、リピートしたいとは思わない感じ。

ロケーションを楽しむ

ロケーションは吉野の山の中ということで景色は抜群です。桜の季節はもちろん新緑も素晴らしいです。夕方の大浴場からの景色。夕食は美味しくて量も程よい。翌朝は早朝散歩のあとの朝食、ごはんが特に美味しかった。 部屋自体はいたってシンプル。

快適に過ごせました

チェックイン可能な15時直後に入室。吉野駅から奥千本まで歩きまわって疲れ果てたので、直ぐに大浴場で汗を流すこともできて助かりました。 朝食も美味しく川魚の甘露煮が柔らかくいただけました。 部屋からは吉野の山が一望できるので、桜の咲く頃に来てみたいですね。

部屋からの眺望を愉しむ宿

上千本にある宿。部屋から反対側の尾根が眺望できて、花の時期はきっと最高だと思います。部屋にある半露天風呂は追い焚き機能が付いていて、内湯にこの機能があるのをみるのは私は初めてです。 わかりにくい場所なので、初めて行く際は吉野駅から送迎をお願いすることをおすすめします。
