Oku Yugawara Tsubaki

Both dinner and breakfast are the best authentic Kaiseki cuisine in the room. The rice is delicious. There are drinks (beer, water) in the refrigerator in the spacious room, and cold sake, ice cream, and drinks are available in the lounge near the large communal bath and the open-air bath. Our room was in the main building, facing a quiet garden of camellias and a pond with carp. The carp that came to the window to eat food were cute. The fresh flowers, hanging scrolls, and folding screens displayed in the corridors and tokonoma are also stately. The accessories such as camellia-themed tableware, small bowls, coffee cups, tea bowls, and embroidered towels are also tasteful. However, there is no shuttle service from the station for travelers coming by train. There is a guide for the city bus, but it is quite a steep hill to climb from the Oku-Yugawara bus stop to the entrance of the inn, so I think that guests with a lot of luggage should be advised to take a taxi from the station instead of the city bus. A taxi from JR Yugawara Station costs 2,000 yen.

Last time I stayed in the guest house, and this time I stayed in the main building, but I felt the difference in service and facilities was even bigger than the price. It's also disappointing that there is no consideration for repeat guests.

Perfect hotel. The environment is elegant, the room is large and comfortable, the dressing room, bathroom and open-air hot spring are in the same area, which is very user-friendly. The toiletries, makeup removal and care products are complete, and there are also facial masks, which are well thought out. The Kaiseki dinner is perfect. Each dish is carefully made with seasonal ingredients, and the taste is rich and delicious. The breakfast is also very good. I like the chef. The service of the hotel staff is warm and thoughtful. Special thanks to KAWASE, who is as kind as family, and let us spend a very wonderful two days.

The hotel is located in a mountainous area with a beautiful environment. The interior of the hotel is beautifully designed. The staff are very attentive and enthusiastic. The room we stayed in this time has hot spring facilities. It was semi-open air and the atmosphere was very good on a rainy day. Will definitely stay again next time.

初めて湯河原を訪れました。 評価も分かれていましたが、老舗という事で選択しました。 本館の露天風呂付きの部屋を選択しました。 庭に鯉の泳ぐ池があって、椿の花が咲き、鵯が蜜を啄む。 とてもゆったりした時間でしたが、いかんせん施設の老朽化が否めません。 古くても元々の作りが良ければ味が出てくるのでしょうが。 食事も特筆するようなものもありません。 コストパフォーマンスも良いとは言えませんでした。
