Hira Shofuku Onsen Holiday Afternoon

You can use the Onsen attached to the cottage anytime. I soaked three times. The water had a faint, distinctive earthy and sulfur-like scent. It was great.The cottage is clean and spacious. I could really relax on my own.I wish there were cushions or a sofa in the tatami area. Watching TV while sitting on a chair made my neck hurt.Both the main building and the cottages have a handmade feel.It’s not overly polished—slightly mismatched and not perfect—which adds to its charm.Omi beef is definitely tastier than the meat I usually eat, but honestly it wasn’t beyond my expectations; it made me wonder if it’s always like this. Maybe it was tenderloin and some trimmings. Since the accommodation cost is reasonable, you probably shouldn’t expect top-tier meat quality.Overall, I think it’s a great place with lots of added value—an Onsen cottage, 200g Omi beef shabu-shabu, breakfast with homemade bread, and more.Because it’s surrounded by nature, there are insects.The morning alarm and notification sounds from an electronic pad were loud.

Quiet and wonderful place! The handmade bread was delicious, and the Onsen was amazing. I would definitely love to stay here again during my next cycling trip.
