Suigetsu

This inn is located in the mountains of Kakegawa City, about 20 minutes by car from Kakegawa IC. I stayed here before and it was good, so I came again. This time, as with the previous time, I chose the 24-hour stay plan with three meals included. The room was a Japanese-style room of about 12 tatami mats. It is an old inn, but the inside is kept clean (no Wi-Fi). There are no chairs in the room, so I requested one in advance and borrowed one. There is a wide veranda, so I thought it would be good if there was a chair and table set (because it is a bit difficult to sit on the tatami all the time). There were reviews saying that the toilet in the room was a problem because it was "Japanese". The toilet in this room was changed from Japanese style to Western style, and it was okay to use. There is no washlet, but there is a toilet with a washlet for both men and women outside the room. There is also no refrigerator in the room, but there is a large refrigerator right next to the room that you can use, so you can keep cold drinks cold. There are no convenience stores near the inn, so if there are any snacks you want, it is better to buy them in advance. Well, there is no open-air bath, but the water is not hot, so I was able to take a leisurely bath. The hot spring water is good and makes the skin smooth. It is open 24 hours a day, so I went in many times during my stay. The women's bath is a bathroom that can fit about two people, and there are two washing areas. Amenities include facial soap, all-in-one, toothpaste, etc. in the wash area. The men's bath is quite spacious, including the changing room (we were the only guests staying this time, so we were able to use both baths). I try not to take photos of the public baths at the inn, but this time we were able to use it privately during our stay, so I took a photo of the women's bath. Meals are served in the room for dinner, breakfast, and lunch. First, dinner. It was so beautifully presented that I exclaimed, "Wow!" and each dish was amazing. The vinegared dish had nine different ingredients, including crab, shrimp, scallops, octopus, and seaweed, and there were seven different types of tempura, including vegetables and shrimp, six different types of sashimi, eight different types of appetizers, including large shrimp, seven different types of simmered dishes, including vegetables, and a large chawanmushi with the scent of yuzu. The yam was sticky yet fluffy, and the yamame trout was large and easy to remove. The grilled bracts were fragrant, and I thought it would be great to eat this with rice, but unfortunately I was too full to eat the rice and soup, so I refrained. However, I did enjoy the fruit dessert (melon, pear, and mandarin orange). I drank sake, including Takatenjin (300c), a local sake from Kakegawa City, for 880 yen. The breakfast was delicious, and this time lunch was included, and the kamameshi was filled with more ingredients than I've ever seen. Even at a kamameshi restaurant, I've never seen anything with so many ingredients. There were about two and a half bowls of chicken, mushrooms, carrots, bamboo shoots, etc., and I thought I would be able to finish it all, but I ate it all with fried eggplant, shishito peppers, fried fish, pickles, etc. The piping hot rice cooked in front of my eyes warmed my body and my heart. All three meals, dinner, breakfast, and lunch, were very satisfying and I thought, ``Ah, so delicious!'' The landlady's hospitality also really warmed my heart. When I asked or asked something, she was kind, polite, and gentle. Whenever she came to my room, she always knocked and called out to me before opening the door, and I thought she was very considerate of her customers. At high-class inns, I have experienced many times when the waitress came to my room multiple times for in-room meals and opened the door without me saying anything, but that never happened at this inn. I think this inn is a place that heals visitors with the hospitality of the landlady and the owner, the good hot springs, and the delicious food that is made with love.
