The hot days continue. The word "cooling off" used to exist, but it has become obsolete as the whole country is experiencing intense heat. At least, I thought I could avoid the tropical nights in the concrete jungle by coming to Amanohashidate. I stayed at Kamikaze-rou. For dinner, I enjoyed the view of Amanohashidate while having a glass of local white wine, Niagara. It's a fruity and sweet wine. The appetizer consisted of three dishes: vinegar-marinated sardines and avocado with grape and mint, vinegar-marinated jellyfish, and vinegar-marinated snow crab. The snow crab was particularly easy to eat as the meat had already been removed from the shell. It felt like a dream to be able to eat such a large amount of meat without the hassle of removing it from the shell. Next was a seaweed vinegar dish, which was refreshing. Let's open a cold bottle of Ichiban Shibori beer. The sashimi platter included sazae, white squid, and sweet shrimp, all of which were delicious. The beef shabu-shabu was generous, with 150g per serving and plenty of vegetables and mushrooms. The meal ended with a red seaweed soup, made with a seaweed called gimasa in Akita Prefecture, known as a superfood. For dessert, there was yuzu sherbet, with a refreshing yuzu aroma that was light and easy to eat even when full. Amanohashidate, Miyazu City, Ejiri 73-6.

This is the breakfast menu at Kamikaze-ryu. You can enjoy your meal while looking at the beautiful Amanohashidate view from the window. Today seems like it's going to be hot. On the table, there are homemade side dishes such as salad, dried horse mackerel, simmered konjac, sautéed burdock, rolled omelette, fish cake, simmered beans, boiled spinach, pickles, simmered butterbur, and on the stove, there is set up with soup curry. It's rare to have soup curry for breakfast. The soup curry here is a light consommé soup with cabbage rolls, potatoes, and carrots, flavored with curry powder. Address: 73-6 Enjiri, Amanohashidate, Miyazu City, Kyoto Prefecture.

The ambiance, rooms, and food were all charming. The dishes may not have been extravagant, but they were very delicious. It was a delightful experience that created wonderful memories.

Visited the northern end of Amanohashidate on October 20, 2013. This inn is located right in front of the tourist boat shrine pier. The exterior looks like a "normal old inn," but the rooms have been nicely renovated using old materials. It is clear that the bold renovation is focused on couples and couples who want to relax rather than group guests or families. The friendly and gentle owner seemed to be quite skilled. I stayed in the spacious "Ichimanjo" room on the third floor, which had a chic interior with a view of Amanohashidate through a large glass window framed in wood (not aluminum sashes) and comfortable paulownia flooring. I had a very comfortable stay. Meals are served in the large hall on the second floor with chair seating. I prefer separate sleeping rooms and dining areas, as well as chair seating over tatami seating, so this inn was very suitable for me. Oh, by the way, booking directly through the official website is about 2,000 yen cheaper than through a booking site. As a bonus, you will receive a bottle of Amanohashidate wine or a small bottle of "Kyoto no Haru" sake from the local Mukai Sake Brewery in Ine. Initially, I booked through a booking site but later switched to the official website. I also upgraded my dinner from the standard plan to the chef's choice kaiseki plan. It didn't change my budget, and as I get older, I prefer "quality over quantity." I appreciate having more dishes. The dinner menu included: Hors d'oeuvre: Chestnut simmered in its skin, pickled sardines, jellyfish with mayonnaise Appetizer: Grilled skin-side of Spanish mackerel, squid, turban shell, sea bream, sweet shrimp sashimi Small dish: Vinegared mozuku salad: It turned out to be snow crab instead of red snow crab, grilled with crab vinegar Fried dish: Spanish mackerel with yuzu miso sauce Oil dish: Flounder fried with sweet vinegar sauce Simmered dish: Simmered kawahagi Steamed dish: Steamed sea bream Rice, pickles, soup, and cassis sherbet for dessert. The seasoning and cooking were meticulous and traditional. Although I was slightly disappointed not to have matsutake mushrooms due to the season, I was able to enjoy a variety of fish. The sashimi was delicious, as well as the Spanish mackerel, flounder, kawahagi, and sea bream. However, I was not a fan of the soup stock. It had a hint of seaweed instead of bonito or kelp. I didn't quite like it personally. I had a good rest and woke up early the next morning to refresh in the morning bath, then visited the nearby Moto-Iseko Shrine and its inner shrine, Manai Shrine. I enjoyed a rich and gently seasoned breakfast before checking out and leaving my car parked for a while to climb the nearby Umbrella Pine Park, then enjoyed "Amanohashidate Viewpoint." This inn is a great place to enjoy Amanohashidate, delicious fish, and shrine visits. The amount spent was for a one-night stay with two meals on a weekday. The rating given at lunch is for the breakfast.

I went to Amanohashidate (´▽｀) It was a trip after a long time, so I was really excited. This time, I went there by motorcycle (125cc) so I got a bit tired, but since it was under 125cc, I was able to ride the motorcycle across Amanohashidate, which made me happy. Well, that's not really important though, right? (･"･;) The appearance of the inn was a bit old, but the interior was clean (´▽｀) It is located just past Amanohashidate. The separate private room for breakfast and dinner was nice. The food was really delicious (´▽｀) For dinner, I had a course mainly consisting of shabu-shabu. At first, I thought the portion might be small, but it turned out to be just right to make me feel full (´▽｀) My partner is a light eater, so I ended up eating their leftovers too (laughs). The sashimi was fresh and tasty. Breakfast also filled me up just right. I particularly liked the Japanese-style pot-au-feu (?) which was lightly seasoned (´▽｀) Each dish was delicious. The temperature of the hot spring water was a bit lukewarm, which was just right for me. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was nice, and I was able to relax after a long time (´▽｀) It's an inn that I would like to stay at again. (´▽｀)

This was my second stay at this inn. I had stayed here many years ago, but I couldn't forget the atmosphere and the food at this inn. Although I don't travel all year round, I have encountered some nice inns in my travels. However, there are not many inns that I truly want to revisit. This inn was the first one in my life that made me think "I want to stay here again" and actually made it happen. Location: This inn is located at the foot of Amanohashidate on the Fukuchiyama side. It is a small inn with seven rooms. From the windows of the rooms, you can see the full view of Amanohashidate. The view is so breathtaking that it almost feels like a privilege to enjoy it up close. The inn is right in front of the Fukuchiyama side pier, so it's fun to take a sightseeing boat or a motorboat back to the inn after strolling around Amanohashidate and enjoying the town on the opposite side. The cable car station to the famous "Kasamatsu Park" is also nearby. As the sightseeing boats finish their tours and night falls, it becomes very quiet. You can truly hear the "quiet sounds" of nature. It is the perfect inn to spend private time in a relaxed manner. Food: The inn provides a private room for each guest to have their meals separate from their accommodation. Both dinner and breakfast are served in these private rooms. The food is a heartfelt kaiseki cuisine centered around seafood. The quality and quantity are excellent, and every dish from start to finish is simply "delicious." The seasoning is slightly stronger than that of Kyoto, which suits my taste perfectly. The freshness of the sashimi, the sweetness of the Matsuba crab, the sweetness of the seafood dishes are all impressive. The steamed head of sea bream, the grilled ayu fish, and the subsequent delicious dishes keep coming. The strawberry sherbet as a dessert was exceptionally delicious. Room: The building is an old Japanese-style house, but the rooms have been modernly renovated with a craftsmanship that resembles a show on TV. The simplicity creates a comfortable and lovely space. The most wonderful thing is the breathtaking view of Amanohashidate "Ichimonji" from the window. It is a tear-jerking view that makes you want to stay here forever. Hot Spring: The inn has a very small bath due to its small number of rooms. It may not be satisfying for those whose main purpose of the trip is the hot springs. However, for those who are not fond of crowded public baths, this bath provides a calm and relaxing atmosphere. The water at Narumi Kannon Onsen is just right, not too hot or too cold. Service: The service at this inn is all about providing "quiet privacy." There are no entertainment facilities such as lounges, shops, bars, or karaoke. The inn staff does not line up in a row to provide visible top-notch service. Instead, they offer subtle consideration and thoughtful gestures that create a wonderful sense of distance. For those seeking "quiet privacy," this service is exceptional. I love Amanohashidate, and it's all because I encountered this inn called "Shinfuro" that I love it even more.

Last June, my husband and I stayed overnight. The location was a bit hard to find, but the owner of the inn was very kind and the room was modern and relaxing. It was not busy, so during dinner, there was only one other couple besides us, allowing us to enjoy our meal in a calm atmosphere. We were able to fully enjoy seafood for both breakfast and dinner. Also, as a souvenir, we bought oil sardines to take home, and recently on a TV show, a person who tried canned foods from all over Japan recommended the oil sardines from Amanohashidate as the number one choice.

Despite being a very historic inn, it is run by a family, and the owner and his wife provide polite customer service and hospitality. This time, I ended up at Kamikaze-rou looking for an inn where I could eat crab during the crab season. It was my first time this time, but I hope to visit again next year during the crab season.
