Sekizenkan

雖然是老牌温泉酒店，但感覺不值這個價格，周圍就有一條小街，不是很推薦，可能是我個人比較喜歡熱鬧去房間的時候，並沒有工作人員幫忙拿行李

Lovely hotel in a quiet little town. We stayed at the Sanso building, in the Corner Room Japanese Western Special Room (Moegiichi). The room was impeccable, with a private bath, a king sized bad, a deck and a small garden framed by pine and maple trees. Everyone was unfailingly polite, as per Japanese standards. If you have more than 2 in the room, the futon gets laid out while you are away at dinner. Top stars to the futon, they use high quality Tempur mattresses that are so wonderful to sleep on. Food was lovely and painstakingly plated. If you are a Miyazaki fan, it’s easy to see inspirations dotted around the hotel and the town. I came in December and many shops in town were not open, they looked shuttered for good. There are a few food options but not extensive. A few parts of the hotel were dated; mainly the red carpets linking the various buildings. They looked like a deep cleaning or a change was in order.

あるチラシを見た相方さんから「ここへ行きたい（積善館本館と元禄の湯の写真）」とリクエストがあったので、今回訪れてみました。なお、宿泊した施設は「佳松亭」の普通のお部屋です。本館は音が響くとの事なので、今回は見送る事にしました。お部屋はなかなか良かったですよ。和のおもてなしを感じました。ただ布団がちょっと硬かったかもしれません。佳松亭の夕食ですが、素材を生かす味付けと言うよりも、素材プラスαの組み合わせでちょっと複雑な味付けと言いましょうか・・・一品一品食べててなんかスッと来なかったです。うーんなんだろう、おそらく賛否が別れるかと思います。朝食は良かったのですが・・・。
