Experience of the stay
The accommodation is a brewery-based inn known for its alcoholic offerings, which leads to a lively atmosphere mostly suited for adult groups.
I checked in around 3 PM. The lobby lounge was full of guests eager for a drink, so I went to the large communal bath instead, which was quite empty! I enjoyed soaking in the open-air bath while appreciating the autumn leaves. After my bath, I relaxed with a drink in my room, choosing from two out of five available craft beer varieties. The remaining three varieties could also be enjoyed at dinner time or at the Tsukikoma Stand, allowing guests to pour their own drinks, enabling customization of the serving size.
I decided to add dinner, which turned out to be a great choice! I called two days prior to check if they could adjust seating arrangements and they said they'd get back to me, so it’s best to call as soon as your stay is confirmed. The dinner was priced at 6600 yen. Everything—vegetables, fish, meat, and rice—was delicious, and the finishing dish, sweet potato stew (Shonai-style, with miso and pork), was simply the best. Love it. They also had a section to make your own cocktails with wine and sake, which made me drink a bit too much, but the food was hearty, leaving me extremely full.
After dinner, I returned to the large bath around 7 PM. The women's bath was quiet, but it seemed like a group of men came into the male bath, making it a bit noisy, so I left soon after. (The indoor and outdoor baths felt separated by just a wall.) The massage machine in the changing room was accommodating as it enveloped me like a cocoon, giving a thorough massage to my feet and even my backside. It was fantastic after the bath.
At night, we could gather around a campfire. It was mid-November, already a cold period, but ponchos were provided to endure the chill. I enjoyed cocktails and cream soda at the Tsukikoma Stand. If I had room in my stomach, I would have loved to have some nightly soba, but alas!
However! I was able to eat it for breakfast. The sweet potato stew with soy sauce and beef was also fabulous! Unfortunately, alcohol isn't served in the morning, but they do provide a self-serve matcha (why?). There were few foreign guests, but Japanese visitors certainly had a great time as well. I enjoyed until the very end.
While it wasn’t entirely a "relaxing alone" experience, thanks to the option to take food back to my room and the arrangement of the dining area with some partitions, I managed to spend my time without feeling too constrained. However, I think group travel is more fun, so I plan to do a revenge trip with friends.
Experiences during the trip
Since this trip focused mainly on this accommodation, I only wandered a bit around the area in front of Tendo Station. There are souvenir shops, a library, and a café in a building right in front of the station. Additionally, there are local ramen shops and supermarkets along the way from the station to the accommodation, so I think guests can enjoy their stay without having to include dinner.
