Kamiyashiki Taira No Takafusa

As we were still worried about the spread of coronavirus and influenza, we were primarily looking for a place where we could relax as a family, without contact with others, in a separate private room with an open-air bath, and where we could eat meals in a place where infection control measures were in place. We stayed in a room called Seisei-tei for two nights. There were six of us in our family, and there was a room with two low beds and three other large rooms with an open-air rock bath with natural hot spring water. The room was accessed by climbing an outside staircase, which felt different and enjoyable. I thought it might be difficult for a wheelchair user. It was very quiet and very nice. There were gas stoves in the hallways and in each room, and it was cold and rainy both nights, but we were able to stay warm. We were very satisfied with the large open-air bath. The hearth kaiseki meal was also delicious. It was supposed to be mountain delicacies, but mushrooms were used in many of the meals, and the miso soup was made with nameko mushrooms, which may have been a bit too much for some people who don't like mushrooms. As it is a remote area, there are roadside stations called "Mizu no Sato" and "Yunishigawa" about 20 minutes by car, but they felt like small souvenir shops. We declined to make up our futons during breakfast. It was nice to be able to lounge around whenever we wanted. We loved being able to stay in the detached building without having to worry about other guests, and the spaciousness of the open-air bath in our room and the luxurious free-flowing water. Thank you to all the staff. We'd like to come again.
