Michinokuan

It was a very pleasant stay and a good start to the trip. It was my first trip to Tohoku, and I had a packed schedule, so I left early in the morning, but I was still happy to see the proprietress and Suzuki-san, who was in charge of the trip, see me off with a smile. Relying on my navigation, I arrived at Kamasaki Onsen and saw the sign for ``Michinokuan'' as I headed towards the parking lot.Even though it was the end of July (August will be in a few days), the hydrangeas were in full bloom, and I felt a sense of well-maintained flowers from the beginning. has risen. When I arrived at the parking lot, Mr. Suzuki, who was in charge of the stay, came right away, gave me a welcome drink and checked me into my room, and it was great. I like twin rooms, and I give up even at good hot spring hotels if they don't have twin rooms, but the room at Asaka has been renovated and is highly functional. The beauty, the tranquility of being surrounded by a forest, and the a**osphere of a mountain inn were wonderful. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, recently I have often been asked to stay in a room with a ``hot spring bath'' (please be careful as there is often boiling water in the room (lol)), but this was an inn with a small number of rooms, so I didn't choose a room with a hot spring bath, but it was sufficient. The public bath was always reserved for us as we were mixed up with other guests. The cost performance is the best. The hot water was also thick and great. I was impressed by the hydrangeas that the landlady had arranged at the inn. I could see that you had good taste. When I stay at a nice inn, I'm a little disappointed when I see artificial flowers, like fresh flowers, on display, perhaps because it takes a lot of maintenance. I think even just a single fresh flower can soothe the soul, and this one is a nice touch. Meals in the room are served at the dining table, so you don't feel cramped, and it's kaiseki style, so I thought it would be difficult for the staff, but the food was delicious. The last local dish, Somen, was delicious. The Japanese pepper sauce that comes with the meat dishes also has a very seasonal feel. Although this inn is not luxurious, it is comfortable and has a good sense of elegance, and I can feel that it is popular. thank you for helping me. Thank you very much, Ms. Suzuki. Although my impressions are different from my impressions of the inn, the colony of mountain lilies at Showa Manyo no Mori in Ohira Village, which is about an hour from here, was also beautiful, so I've included some photos for reference for those traveling during this season. I'll add it.

とっても静かな角部屋で、部屋食で美味しい料理でした。温泉風呂も良く、ゆっくりはいれました。又、露天風呂も良かったです。仲居さん等細やかなサービスも良かったです。
