THE KEY HIGHLAND NASU

It felt like a secluded Accommodation in the forests of Nasu Highlands, and we had a truly satisfying stay. Every dish was delicious, and the view from the open-air bath in the large public bath was nothing but trees with no man-made structures, making us forget the passage of time. This is an Accommodation we would love to stay at again someday.

Given the area’s strong dairy farming, the dishes and desserts made with dairy products were delicious. It was also very appealing that they seem to make things by hand as much as possible rather than relying on pre-made items. There was a wide selection of alcohol; the sake was locally brewed in Tochigi, and while the wine was imported, it seemed thoughtfully chosen—overall a great impression. If I could mention one thing, I’d like to see better coffee… If there were an espresso machine in the dining area at the same level as the one set up in the corridor for takeaway, this buffet would be almost perfect. The same goes for breakfast.
