At Yamatoya Villa, which I visited for the first time in a long time, I received warm hospitality while my nostalgic memory revived. The meal was delicious that would delight even early autumn. It was also a time to feel the persistence of a historic inn without claiming too much. The only disappointment was that there was a white plastic bag left in the open-air bath that seems to have been forgotten. I think it was never before. Still, I would like to revisit if there is another opportunity.

Read more お料理の質味接客の質施設などは個人の好み気持ちなどでプラスの評価になったりすると思います。でも掃除ができているかどうかは部屋に入っただけで絶対的に評価ができること。それができていないお部屋だったことは他がよかったとしても残念感が残ります。座った肘置きに触った後が付くくらい埃が積もっているのを見た時お料理にも期待持てなくなったのは事実です。残念なお宿としか思えません。他にも色々あるけどそれ以前初歩のことができていないので評価することはやめておきます。

The quality of the food Taste The quality of customer service The facilities, etc. will be positively evaluated by personal preference. But you can absolutely evaluate whether you can clean it by just entering the room. It was a shame even if it was good that the room was not. It's true that you can't even expect to cook when you see the dust piled up after you touch the sitting elbow rest. I can only think that it is an unfortunate inn. There are many other things but I haven't been able to get started before that, so don't evaluate it.
