Thank you very much for taking care of us again on our second stay. When we visited 6 and a half years ago, this Accommodation left us with such wonderful memories that we had been hoping to return someday. This time as well, we were fortunate to see the sunrise over the Tateyama Mountain Range. I loved the atmosphere of the previous inn, but after the renovation it has become a modern Accommodation—yet the warm hospitality from the young and very kind couple remains unchanged. With carefully prepared dishes featuring fresh seafood from Himi and breathtaking views of the Tateyama Mountain Range, everything is here. It is an Accommodation you will want to stay at again and again, even from far away. We will definitely visit again when we want to forget everyday life and relax. Thank you very much.

A couples’ trip to Toyama. Get closer to the Tateyama Mountain Range, or admire it from afar? We debated and finally decided on viewing it from a distance. When we searched with that in mind—along with great food—we found this Accommodation.When we arrived, we were first soothed by the warm, attentive welcome from the young couple owners (the fourth generation). The newly renovated Accommodation still feels fresh, and there were tasteful fresh flowers arranged throughout. The Tateyama Mountain Range, which hadn’t shown itself that morning, became visible in the afternoon, and before dinner it was the ultimate luxury to soak in the bath while gazing at those mountains—Toyama’s pride—still capped with lingering snow.Dinner featured a wide variety of dishes centered on seasonal local ingredients. Everything was well seasoned and delicious. The tableware was also beautiful, and we could truly feel the owner’s extraordinary passion for cooking.They host only three parties per night, and there’s no TV—so it’s quiet. And that is exactly what made it so wonderful. (To be honest, we were also happily immersed in fine sake.)We heard that rebuilding took place around the time of the Noto earthquake, so our Room was still very new and spotless, and we were able to relax comfortably at our own pace.Breakfast was just as impressive, incorporating local specialties as well. We’re an older couple and finished everything—and I was especially surprised that my wife, who usually eats slowly, finished before I did. That says it all about how good it was.After fully enjoying Toyama’s unique scenery and cuisine—and feeling grateful and moved to have found such a wonderful Accommodation—we headed home as the owner saw us off. From the bottom of our hearts, we hope this lovely couple will continue running this special Accommodation for many years to come.
