Kappa No Yado Ryokan Sanjiro

We booked our accommodation for the night at Ryokan Sanjiro in Togatta Onsen. Traveling down the Zao Echo Line from the top of Mt. Zao towards Miyagi, we arrived at Togatta Onsenkyo. Ryokan Sanjiro was built on a small hill on the east side of Togatta Onsen town. It is a medium-sized Japanese-style inn with a number of different paths to follow, each one of which was lovely with its own quaint space. From the large public baths, Katsupa no Yu and Togen no Yu, we had a magnificent view of the Zao mountain range. Dinner at a restaurant called Kamado was a seasonal kaiseki meal made with locally produced in-season ingredients, which we enjoyed in a relaxed atmosphere, along with some local Miyagi sake.

I used a day trip hot spring the other day. I have received incredible customer service. On this day, I visited with 3 adults, but I told the aunt who was the guide that I would like 2 adults because my daughter was not feeling well. While watching my husband and daughter who followed me, eh? The answer is 3 adults. No, my daughter doesn't take a bath, so I said the same thing again when there were two adults. However, I'm sorry, but my daughter will be waiting in the car, so could you lend me the restroom? I asked. If you do so, the same person will pay the admission fee. Will you charge an admission fee just for letting me use the restroom once? Taking even one step into the bathing building is directly linked to the admission fee. It's been a corona wreck these days, so I convinced myself that it might be so, but I was surprised when I went to the bathhouse after that. Many hotels and ryokans are limiting the number of people in the bath due to concerns about the spread of the coronavirus. The number of people who seem to be. I was astonished that the baskets in the dressing room and the clothes storage area were not even spaced apart. The temperature of the bath is not controlled at all, and the hot water is so low that you might catch a cold. I'm talking about indoor baths, not open-air baths. Despite being as strict as entering the facility, the management of the bathroom is extremely sloppy. Can not? I was impressed with the customer service staff. Other facilities in Togatta Onsen are all really wonderful inns, so this is a wonderful inn that stands out in a different way.

初めての遠刈田温泉。 宿はいい感じの山間にあり大自然に満ち溢れていました。 檜風呂付の客室を予約したのですがこれが家族含めて大好評でした。 客室数の少ない宿ですが完全に密を避けてお風呂にはいれるのは安心できます。 何よりお風呂からの眺めがよかったです。 お風呂もありますがこちらは深夜から朝までは入浴不可。 その点客室内のお風呂は深夜も入れて普段は寝ているであろう時間にあえて入浴し非日常を満喫。 温泉もよかったですが食事もよかったです。 仙台牛のステーキにしゃぶしゃぶと贅沢させていただきました。 古い宿なので建物設備が痛んでいる個所もありますが気にはならないレベル。 従業員さんのおもてなしも温かみがあり家庭的な感じがしてよかったかな…と。 駐車場の場所がちょっと不便なので足腰が悪い方が連れにいる場合は苦労するかも。
