Wataya = WOW! From the second we arrive... I'm so happy Aaron chose this place. The staff is a family that has owned and operated this wonderful house for 7 generations! We chill in the onsen chatting loudly as we are the only guests today, return to the room to relax looking at the garden during twilight. Dinner is served! We did a poor job at informing them of my friend's restricted diet... The proprieter is so generous! She grabs a frozen pizza from her home to feed my buddy... I'm stuffed by beer, pickled vegetables, traditional soup, local river caught fish displayed alive on skewers then COOKED TO DEATH! Followed by BEAR MEAT! Literal apex predator of the forest in my mouth. It's pretty great. Delightful sliced steak then green tea mousse with some fruit for dessert. We have to hit the onsen before bed. So pleasantl I hit the onsen tub alone, bodywash, hop in and acclimate while watching YouTube. Some pleasuring women, some women behavior, some news. Breakfast is served at 8 as requested. I eat alone as Aaron doesn't want anything they have. Pickled vegetables, river fish, light soup, egg, grilled salmon, local orange and strawberry with fresh rice. Rice milk, water and great coffee! I love this place so much... Return to my room, we take a selfie with the garden, pack up and check out. The proprieter and his mother see us off in a taxi.
