Wagokoro no Yado Omori

I was looking for an Accommodation to visit Ikaho’s Stone Steps Street, and happened to find this Accommodation offering a discount, so I stayed here for the first time!I was searching for a place with an open-air bath in the Room, and Room 701 where we stayed exceeded my expectations—the Onsen in the Room was spacious, the washing area was easy to use, and the terrace was amazing!Above all, the in-room amenities were thoughtfully prepared from a guest’s perspective, and I was truly moved by your hospitality.The three of us—my father, mother, and I—stayed together, and the layout was convenient; even when changing clothes I could relax without worrying about my father lol.I’ve stayed at many Accommodations with open-air baths in the Rooms before, but this one is by far the best!This time we booked No Meals Included and didn’t use dining services, but next time I’d definitely like to try your meals.The only reason I deducted one star for service relates to car handling.I understand that moving cars once may be unavoidable, but since it seemed they also drove it again just to move it during unloading from a kei truck,I felt uncomfortable with leaving my key with staff.So I hope there will be a proper place where guests can park themselves.Other than that, there wasn’t a single negative point—everything else was great!At check-out (perhaps because of the season), we even received a potted carnation as a gift, which made my mother very happy!Thank you very much for everything!

Although we arrived on a rainy day, we were able to leave the car at the main entrance and check in smoothly, which really helped us keep our luggage dry. The Room was spacious and spotless, and we were impressed by the thoughtful touches—such as an extension cord provided—so charging our phones was never an issue. The only small concern was whether the toilet exhaust fan was working properly. The hotel is barefoot indoors, but socks were provided along with the yukata, which made it very comfortable. The open-air bath had rain hats available, so even on a rainy day we could enjoy a wonderfully atmospheric soak amid the steam. The food was far better than expected and perfectly portioned, and the additional horse sashimi and salted seafood were also outstanding. There seemed to be many international staff members, but their Japanese was very fluent and we had no trouble at all. Breakfast was especially delicious—the egg-over-rice and vegetables served with red shiso ponzu were amazing. It’s also just a short walk to the stone steps, so we enjoyed a stroll even after checkout. It was a wonderful stay that left both our stomachs and hearts full. We would love to visit again once the renovation is complete—and next time, I plan to buy some red shiso ponzu to take home.
