Iwai Onsen Iwaiya

I thought the price was a little high because the reviews were so high, but I booked an all-inclusive plan that included half board. Although the building is old, the interior is very clean and there are folk crafts and other items decorated everywhere that make it look old. There is no elevator up to the third floor, so you have to take the stairs, but the hallways are carpeted with tatami, so it feels good to walk barefoot. The room was 8 tatami mats in size, but it didn't feel too small probably because there was a wide veranda and an alcove. Also, even though it was made of wood, I didn't hear any noise from the neighbors. Tea and sweets were provided in the room, but there were also delicious baked goods from a local cake shop, fruit juice, and beer, and I was impressed by the quality of the service. I was able to enjoy my meals in a private room without worrying about other customers. The flavors and presentation of the kaiseki cuisine were fresh and innovative, and everything I had was delicious. The rice was surprisingly delicious, but since it was made from ``rice from 〇〇 farmer,'' they seem to be particular about where they source their ingredients. The head chef seems to have been listed in the Michelin star, so I was satisfied with the sparkling cuisine. There are only a few guest rooms, so you can relax in the bathroom without getting crowded with customers. We also had the opportunity to use the private bath. There is also a room next to the bath. They had a beaded cushion that would help loosen them up, so I used it. The staff members are well-trained and very pleasant. On the day I returned home, I felt sorry for seeing you off in the rain without an umbrella, and it became a good memory that made me feel grateful. I would definitely like to go again.

Thank you for coming to pick me up at the station even though I was later than scheduled.I was very satisfied with the hot springs, food, and facilities. While I was waiting at the bus stop, I was grateful that the staff at the inn went out of their way to bring me a pamphlet about the Tottori Sand Dunes. Although it was only one night, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. It was my first time traveling to the Chugoku region, so I was a little unsure, but my impression was good. I also went to Himeji Castle and was surprised by the size of the grounds! Is it bigger than Nagoya Castle? Next time I think I'll go to the Shigeru Mizuki Memorial Museum.

I didn't stay, but I wrote because the staff's response was bad. The train has been staying since the morning due to heavy rain, and the inn called me. When I told him that I didn't know when he would move because of the suspension of driving, he said that it would be difficult. After that, there was a phone call again, and a phone call to the effect that a cancellation fee would occur in the afternoon. In the afternoon, I will know the driving situation, so even if I tell you to wait a little while, I will start cooking, so I will incur a cancellation fee, so I will stick to it. Even if you tell them that the train doesn't move, you can get there if you rent a car. and. Cancellation fees and meal preparation are more important than worrying about customers. I booked another accommodation and canceled it immediately. I wonder if I will stay here in the future.

When I went to Tottori, I took a day trip bath. At first, I thought about staying here, but I gave up because the Matsuba Crab Exhaustion Plan was very expensive. If it costs over 70,000 yen per person for one night and two meals, it is a bit out of reach for the common people. In addition, the Matsuba crab exhaustion plan was a price of about 40,000 yen per person at a hot spring inn in Tottori city. Of course, the content will not be the same, but the delicious crab came out. By the way, this three-story wooden Iwaiya has an indoor hot spring that spouts out from its feet. The bath is also small because the inn is not so big. The hot water of "Calcium Sodium Sulfate Spring" is free-flowing from the source. The transparent hot water is not so hot, and the hot water feels moist and you can drink it. The astringent a**osphere around this hot water and the bathtub was quite good. If anything, it's an inn that likes connoisseurs and astringent tastes. I thought that people who don't understand wabi-sabi or who don't care about hot springs may not enjoy staying there. The same is true for us who can not pay 70,000 yen for Matsuba crab, so it may not have been an invitation.

I really liked this hot spring and wanted to stay there once, but I couldn't book a course with dinner alone, so I stayed only for breakfast. I was led to a room at the bottom of the stairs that looked like a storeroom. The window faced the courtyard, but I couldn't open it. There is a toilet in the room, but there is no hand soap. Onsen is the best. .
