Today's inn is... the second time having the Hana Gozen meal~ \( ˆoˆ )/\( ˆoˆ )/ Since the last time was so good... the food, cost performance, room, hot spring, atmosphere, everything was perfect♬♬ This time, staying in a detached room... being able to relax while looking at the garden... the room with a private outdoor bath is spacious and very nice!!! Experiencing an extraordinary time in the room... a luxurious time. Upon arrival, I was confused in the parking lot (T . T) Wait, was it like this before? But then someone came to greet us... and I found out that they had renovated and merged with the neighboring inn, making it a huge and shiny traditional Japanese inn! The whole place was covered in clean tatami mats with a luxurious Japanese taste (〃ω〃) It's really nice here♬♬ The room is so big that it's almost a waste for just two people... The tea sweets are delicious too~! I should buy some to take home（＾ν＾） For dinner... it starts with homemade plum wine aged for 3 years. Appetizer: Otoro sushi... irresistibly delicious, I want to chew it forever（＾ω＾） Sashimi: Whole fish sashimi, sea bream, bonito, squid, sweet shrimp... Wow! Completely different from what I usually eat! The sweetness in everything is completely different! The sweet shrimp is big and super sweet!!! The bonito is meltingly tender~ The sea bream is so plump~♬♬ Simmered dish: Simmered throat fish with sansho pepper flavor, refreshing! Slowly savoring the throat fish that I don't usually eat... I'm really glad I came~~ Beef loin steak: A bit lacking in tenderness... Sazae (turban shell) and cucumber vinegar dish: Grateful for the vinegar dish at this point! Refreshing sazae with a nice crunch... Sweet, spicy, now sour... a good balance~ Sea bream and watercress shabu-shabu: Fluffy sea bream, crunchy watercress... My stomach is starting to get full but... I can still eat~~ Dewa no Sato rice: Delicious even on its own!!! Sweetness, chewiness~ I love this rice! Ate it（＾∇＾） Gotta work up an appetite in the hot spring~ Breakfast also had a luxurious lineup and I'm very satisfied!!! Even though it's not crab season, I'm here... and I am extremely satisfied (*≧∀≦*)

This was my first time staying at this inn. The location is said to have a beautiful sunset view, but unfortunately the weather was bad. However, the highlight was the dinner. At first, I thought the portions were small when looking at the menu, but I was completely wrong. The appetizers and sashimi were delicious. I particularly enjoyed the grilled throat black pepper (my favorite), sea bream soba (incredibly delicious and generous portion), sukiyaki, white rice, miso soup, and dessert. The meal was satisfying both in terms of portion size and taste. I'm not a fan of room service (due to the lingering smell and the time it takes to clean up after eating), but in this case, the smell was not an issue as there was a ventilation fan on the table. The cleanup was also quick and efficient. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Due to some circumstances, I was transferred to Osaka in January this year. I decided to take a trip to the Kyoto Tango region, a place that would be difficult to visit if I were still in Tokyo. I chose a hot spring inn where I could enjoy both hot springs and crab, as it was the season for Matsuba crab (winter). 1. Exterior, atmosphere, interior of the shop I traveled by train instead of car. I got off at the Yuhigaura Kizugawa Onsen Station and was picked up by the inn's car from there. It is located overlooking the winter Japan Sea, in a slightly lonely location. It is not too big, so it has a quiet and calm atmosphere. The room had a small garden, and when I opened the window, the scent of plum blossoms drifted in. It has a quaint atmosphere. 2. About the food Both breakfast and dinner were served in the room, which was much appreciated. For dinner, as requested in advance, it was "all about Matsuba crab"! There were crab sashimi, crab hot pot, boiled crab, steamed crab, crab tempura, crab shell grill (with miso on magnolia leaves), and crab porridge (using the soup from the crab hot pot)… and so on. Oh, I ate so much crab! I couldn't compare the taste between male and female crabs, but I was very satisfied. Matsuba crab has an elegant umami taste. The "hair crab" I had in Hokkaido had a more intense and wild flavor. There was a strong umami taste in the miso part and the head. In comparison, Matsuba crab is light and has a subtle sweetness. The texture of the meat is also one of its characteristics. For breakfast, there was sashimi, tamagoyaki, grilled yellowtail, octopus vinegar tofu, and more. There were plenty of dishes, including warm dishes, and I was very pleased. The basics like rice and miso soup were also well-prepared, and the portions for both breakfast and dinner were generous. 3. About the staff We tend to spend a long time having dinner, leisurely drinking alcohol, so we may have caused some inconvenience. However, the attendant who took care of our room was a foreigner, but she greeted us with a smile, which was very appreciated. 4. About the cost Considering that we could have Matsuba crab, with one night and two meals included, for just under 30,000 yen per person, I think it's a reasonable price. I researched various inns in the area, and considering the level of the rooms and overall experience, I believe this inn is quite reasonable. 5. Other things noticed In the morning, I went for a walk by the sea near the inn with my companion, and on that day, the cold north wind was blowing fiercely, making it feel like the final scene of a drama. In summer, you can also enjoy swimming in the sea.

I have stayed at GOTO a few times in the past. This is my second time during crab season. I remember it being a bit cheaper last time, but I guess it all depends on whether the crabs are abundant or scarce. The best things about this place are definitely the chance to see the sunset and the delicious food. Unfortunately, the weather was a bit iffy this time, so we couldn't enjoy a beautiful sunset. But having a private outdoor bath was a great idea for COVID-19 precautions. It's essential to avoid contact with others as much as possible. And as for the food, it's still delicious as ever. Crab lovers will be in heaven during this season. The portions are generous, maybe even too much for older folks to finish. Even we were completely satisfied with our full bellies. It's a great inn.

To fully enjoy crab, I joined a tour and arrived at 11:20. The guide led us to a tatami-floored hall with tables set for 4 people, but we used one for just the two of us. Crab sashimi, boiled crab, grilled crab, and crab hot pot were all ready. The crab sashimi was sweet and delicious, even without soy sauce. The grilled crab was fragrant and sweet, and tasted great with just a hint of salt. The boiled crab was full of crab miso and had plenty of meat, satisfyingly filling our stomachs. The crab hot pot had plenty of crab and the flavors soaked into the vegetables and tofu. We mixed all the crab from the hot pot into the final rice porridge, which was incredibly delicious. After a satisfying meal, we also enjoyed the hot spring, feeling full of happiness. Thank you for the feast.

We visited this inn for a family trip and found it to be quite interesting. First, the good points. We stayed in a detached room with a garden attached to each room, featuring impressive rocks and plants. The garden was well maintained and luxurious. It was the perfect season for autumn leaves, creating a soothing contrast of green and red. There was also a private outdoor bath with a view of the garden. The hot spring water was alkaline and made our skin smooth. The temperature was a bit lukewarm, but perfect for a long soak. The highlight was the food, with a variety of crab dishes including crab shabu-shabu, grilled crab, and tempura. The steak, unexpectedly served as a children's meal, was surprisingly tender and delicious. Now, onto the not so good points. The staff member who greeted us did not offer to help with our luggage, which was a bit off-putting. The man was more focused on covering the wheels of our suitcases to avoid dirtying the tatami floors. The waitress who showed us to our room had a strong fishy smell on her hands, as if she had just been handling fish. During meals, there was no menu with the chef's name, and the servers did not provide any explanations. The variety of dishes was impressive, but it was a shame that there was no information given about them. The staff members serving us had unique personalities, with one child-like server resembling a comedian. Overall, for a price of less than 35,000 yen, having a private room with a hot spring bath and a crab feast made the cost performance very high. The employees seemed to be either inexperienced or purposely providing a unique experience, but as a type B person, I personally enjoyed the more reserved hospitality.

All the meals were delicious! The ryokan was also really nice! I want to go again! Next time, I want to go in a different season and try different food.

It was a very wonderful inn. The room and the bath were both excellent, and I had a luxurious time. The food we had in the room was also very delicious.

I went on a summer vacation trip with my boyfriend. The open-air bath in our room was incredibly smooth. The temperature was just right, and we enjoyed soaking while drinking alcohol. We went in multiple times. The food was plentiful and satisfying.

Stayed with a friend in February, but will never go back again as the crab at Kasho-en group was not delicious at all.

I stayed there before, but the portion was small and not tasty. The attitude of the staff was arrogant, so I will never go back again.

I joined a crab tour and went to eat crab. I sat among a group of people and everyone was focused on eating crab in silence. It must have looked like a strange sight to onlookers. We started with crab chawanmushi, then moved on to crab sashimi, dipping the meat in wasabi soy sauce before eating. The crab sashimi was a rare treat, melting in the mouth with a sweet flavor. Each person was served a whole boiled snow crab. We cracked the legs and used a crab fork to eat the meat. It was delicious but a bit of a challenge to get the meat out of the shell. The same crab tasted different when grilled, with a fragrant aroma and a crispy texture. Grilled crab was a bit harder to eat compared to boiled crab. As we finished the boiled crab, it was time for crab hot pot. The broth was rich, and we enjoyed it with vegetables. We continued to eat the crab in the hot pot, diligently removing the shells. Finally, we had crab porridge as a finishing touch. We were all full by the end of the meal and took a break in the annex bathhouse. This tour experience was truly luxurious and I had a wonderful day. There are surfing spots nearby for those who want to walk off their meal, but remember to bring an umbrella as it may rain.

On a rainy morning. I was feeling really unwell last night. I still feel fatigued. It's like after having the flu. I wonder if I will recover soon. But I think I feel slightly better than last night because I can get up now. When I'm in this condition, I tend to have one nightmare after another. I feel relieved each time I wake up and realize it was just a dream. Then I fall back asleep and have another nightmare. It's not a continuation, but a different version of a nightmare. Breakfast is also served in the room. A generous breakfast. There's sashimi of sea bream in the morning! The grilled fish is mackerel. Vienna sausages wrapped in prosciutto. Vienna sausages are delicious. Salad and onsen tamago. The seasoned seaweed is of such high quality, it's the first time I've seen such good seaweed. Each person has their own pot of rice, probably about one cup. There's some scorched rice at the bottom. Cold tofu. The tofu is delicious. Salted fish roe. I could eat this amount of salted fish roe for breakfast alone. Grilled pork, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. It tastes like butter. It's grilled in butter. The pork is wrapped in enoki mushrooms. It was delicious. Everything is delicious, but I can't eat this much. (T_T) I earnestly wished I could split this into two meals. It's a waste of the DNA that follows the teachings of Rennyo Shonin.

I stopped by Kyoto before coming here. Thanks to the extended Kyoto Jukan Expressway, even though I left Kyoto in the early afternoon, I arrived here after 3 pm. It's fast, isn't it? The Kyoto Jukan Expressway was just through the mountains. Tunnel, mountain, tunnel, mountain - it felt more rural than the Tokai Hokuriku Expressway. Here, the room came with a private outdoor bath. It was always overflowing, so I thought it was a waste. And due to feeling unwell, I hardly got to use the outdoor bath. First, I had matcha water yokan and tea. The matcha water yokan was not too sweet and delicious. For dinner, I started with plum wine. It was strong, so I couldn't drink much. Then came the sashimi - bonito tataki, squid, sweet shrimp, and sea bream. Fresh and delicious. Next was simmered blackthroat seaperch with delicious burdock cooked together. After that, Thai shabu-shabu in soy milk hot pot arrived, but I was feeling unwell and had to lie down. I didn't eat the Thai shabu-shabu. Then came rose sushi and pickles. I also didn't eat these. The rose sushi was left by the staff for a midnight snack, but I couldn't eat it. For dessert, there was a roll cake and vanilla ice cream with strawberry sauce. I managed to eat the vanilla ice cream only. The roll cake was also left by the staff for later, but I couldn't eat it. I was probably suffering from heatstroke due to not drinking enough water while walking in the heat. I felt extreme fatigue and chills. Since I felt my condition was not good, I just slept and tried to drink as much water as possible, even though I felt too lazy to get up. I was worried about what would happen if I had to go to the hospital and ended up being hospitalized in a place like this.
