Oku Yugawara Tsubaki

The hotel is located in a mountainous area with a beautiful environment. The interior of the hotel is beautifully designed. The staff are very attentive and enthusiastic. The room we stayed in this time has hot spring facilities. It was semi-open air and the atmosphere was very good on a rainy day. Will definitely stay again next time.

夕食も朝食も部屋で最高の本格派おもてなし懐石料理。ご飯がおいしい。広い部屋付きの冷蔵庫内の飲み物(ビール、みず)や　大浴場と露天風呂の近くのラウンジで冷酒やアイスやドリンクが飲み放題なのは嬉しい。私達の部屋は本館で　静かな寒椿の庭と鯉のいる池に面していて　窓辺に向かって餌をたべに寄ってきる鯉たちがカワイイ。　廊下や床間に飾ってある生花や床間の掛け軸、屏風も風格がある。椿の花がテーマの食器、小鉢、コーヒーカップ、茶碗、刺繍入りタオルなどの小物も趣味が良い。但し、電車来る旅行者の為の駅からのアクセスは送迎無し。市バスの案内はあるが、奥湯河原バス停から旅館玄関に入るには　かなり急勾配の坂を登るので　荷物が多い客には　市バスでなく駅からタクシーで来る様に忠告すべきだと思う。JR湯河原駅からタクシーは2千円。

完美的酒店。環境幽雅，房間大而舒適，化粧室，浴室和露天温泉在同一區域，非常人性化，洗漱卸粧護理用品齊全，還有面膜，考慮周全。懷石料理晚餐堪稱完美，每一道菜都是用當季食材用心製作，口感豐富而鮮美，早餐也很不錯，為廚師長點贊。酒店人員的服務熱情周到，特別感謝KAWASE，家人一樣的親切，讓我們度過了特別美好的兩天。

As it claims to be a Japanese restaurant where you can stay, everything is as you would expect, from the parking lot to the entry, garden, furnishings, bath, and dinner. The open-air bath, which you can enjoy while looking out at the garden from your room, allows you to feel the seasons, and it was nice to be able to stretch my legs out in the private stone bath (I'm about 170cm tall). I was able to relax on a deck chair on the veranda and enjoy a beer after my bath. There was also a cypress bath inside the room, and although it was through a window I could look out at the pond and enjoy the scent of cypress. From the large public bath outside the room I was able to enjoy the song of the nightingales while looking out at the distant mountain ranges. It was also great that I could enter at any time during my stay. Dinner was a Japanese-style banquet, but the combination of ingredients was very new, and I could feel the concept shared by Japanese tradition and ★★★ restaurants in the Basque country. While making the most of the flavors of the ingredients, I enjoyed the ingenuity of the combinations, and enjoyed the different intervals that rose in my mouth one after another. The intervals between serving the dishes were also perfect, with no gaps, and the next dish never came before I had finished my meal. The "tea" served was also excellent. Matcha when filling out the guest register after arrival, sencha when being given a tour of the hotel after arriving, and roasted green tea after dinner - the temperature and strength of the water was all controlled for each type, and the waitresses' skill was excellent. Up to this point, I think you could get an experience on par or better at a star-rated restaurant or hotel, but the breakfast was excellent. It was served on a tray in about nine small bowls, made with carefully selected ingredients that were flawless in every respect. The rice was also excellent, cooked in a rice cooker. A hotel employee had previously told me that "the quality of the breakfast served determines the class of a hotel," and I thought that this was certainly true. Being able to experience all of this in my room made for a happy holiday.
