Experience of the stay
I suddenly had a day off during the Obon festival, so I decided to visit Indigo, which I had wanted to go to. I live in Aichi Prefecture, and to avoid traffic on the highway, I chose Inuyama, which I could reach via back roads. To enjoy my stay, I checked in at 3 PM. There were many foreign guests, and I waited about 20 minutes until I was called. Finally, I got to my room! It was beautifully decorated, yet calm and relaxing. There were yukatas and separate pajamas; it was convenient to wear a yukata when going to the large public bath and pajamas for sleeping. They provided slippers and wooden sandals, and wearing the sandals was a refreshing experience. At 6 PM, I went to the large public bath. Perhaps it was still early; there weren't many people, and I was able to relax in the bath quietly. There was also a fitness center, but I had no shoes, so I had to give up on that. I really wanted to go!
For breakfast the next morning, I could choose between a half buffet or a full buffet, and I went for the full buffet that seemed less crowded. The buffet was in a banquet hall, so I couldn’t enjoy the view. If you want to enjoy the scenery, the half buffet would be a better choice. I forgot to take photos, but there were rice, bread, cereal, and porridge, and I had porridge. The paired black fungus was very delicious.
The view of Inuyama Castle and the pond was gorgeous, and the weather was great, making it perfect. I was asked by foreign guests to take pictures and I also asked them to take mine. Since the sunlight was too strong during the day, I recommend taking photos in the morning. I enjoyed a leisurely stay and checked out at 11 AM. It was just a one-night stay, but I felt very refreshed. I will definitely visit again.
Experiences during the trip
I have been to Inuyama several times, but it was my first time visiting during the hot season. The banana juice made from Nobunaga bananas was quite thick, but it was cold, so I drank it in an instant. After taking a break, I went to Harizuna Shrine to get a good luck charm for an easy delivery for my friend. I went around noon, and there were not many people, so it was easy to get around.
It was very hot, but I felt the hospitality when shops in the castle town offered free tea and let me use frozen towels.
