Hana Ryokan Iwatoya

When I saw where the hotel was located, I immediately knew that I wanted to stay there because I dreamed of seeing Amanoiwato Jinja. I went to the cave twice, in the morning and in the evening, there is a very beautiful road, and it only takes about 20 minutes to walk. It is also easy to get to Takachiho Gorge, the bus stop is a couple of minutes from the hotel. This was my first experience of staying in a traditional hotel in Japan, and I really liked everything. Delicious dinner and breakfast - I tried a traditional kaiseki dinner, and it was an amazing experience. Attentive, caring hotel staff, perfect cleanliness everywhere, amazing mountain air. Natural wood in the room decoration creates a feeling of warmth and comfort. In the bathroom, you can try Japanese cosmetics. In the evening, you can drink tea, sitting in a comfortable chair with a book. At first, the silence around is unusual, but for us, city dwellers, it is necessary. Since it is dark around, you can see the starry sky - you will not see this in the city. There is a free shuttle from the hotel to the traditional Yokagura show in the evening. For someone interested in mythology, this was very interesting. I did not get the hang of the hot tub right away and I still feel awkward about it, and I forgot to mention that I am allergic to onions, but it is my fault for forgetting to mention it. I would highly recommend the Ryokan Iwatoya, it was an amazing experience.

接待：入住日巧遇寒流侵襲，天氣特別冷，但抵達旅館時，看到主人家就站在門口迎接，甚至冒著冷風協助引導停車，整個被深深的感動。 早餐&晚餐：不曉得這是否就是傳說中的"日式懷石"料理? 就我一個外國人而言，那肯定是! 釜炊米飯搭配當季/在地的手工小菜、副食等，色彩繽紛且兼具美味的饗宴，每一道菜都感覺得出主人家準備的用心，上菜時也一一介紹內容，是十分特別的感受。 泡湯：木造浴池雖然不大，但有種古樸的美，環境整潔，唯一美中不足的是，女湯的梳妝台上的面紙、保濕品等早已用罄，卻沒有及時補充，除此之外沒有其他不足；泡完溫泉回到房間，驚奇的發現主人家精心準備了紅豆湯，不只暖胃而且暖心。 整體：如果有到天岩戶這邊，建議可投宿這兒一晚，不僅地點佳，開窗就可以看到天岩戶神社，一大早也可以悠哉漫步到天安河原，充分享受當地的特殊景致，此外旅館貼心的服務與美味的餐點，絕對是有別於西式飯店的不同體驗。
