Experience of the stay
The hotel was clean and had a fresh feel. Our room had a nice view of the Nagaragawa River, making for a comfortable stay.
With free bedding for children under elementary school age, I slept with my husband and our preschooler on a king bed without feeling cramped.
The room was equipped with the necessities, and we received a borrowing list at check-in.
Since they didn't have an air purifier, we borrowed one.
The shared spaces were also clean, and it was convenient to have free instant miso soup, coffee, and tea available whenever we wanted.
The free parking was a plus too.
There was a roadside station right next door, and a FamilyMart nearby, which made it easy for quick shopping.
It was also nice to be able to leisurely enjoy the gohei-mochi warmed up at the roadside station in our room.
Experiences during the trip
In Tajimi, we visited the Mosaic Tile Museum. The tile workshop was enjoyable even for my 4-year-old.
After that, we went to the Children's Ceramic Museum by car.
Here, we experienced painting on ceramics with crayons. Though it’s not very spacious, there was a well-stocked picture book corner, including a panel of Miffy, making it a fun place for kids.
In Mino, we strolled through the traditional streets with 'udatsu' architecture. The area isn't large, but we relaxed by visiting a stylish café while admiring the old buildings.
Since it was only a 5-minute drive from 'udatsu' to our hotel, we had dinner at New Yanagiya Shokudo in 'udatsu' and enjoyed their specialty, tonchan yaki.
We arrived just as they opened for dinner and barely made it in with just one group ahead of us. It’s advisable to go early as the line stays long throughout the evening.
