Everything was perfect with this stay. The in-house garden is like a dream, very calm & relaxing. The food in particular dinner was very exceptional, they use high quality ingredients and are flexible to accommodate dietary requirements (with advanced notice of course). Onsen was a very short walk from our room, no need to worry when the outside is cold & wet. The room is fairly spacious, our room comes with a balcony overlooking the garden, with few pieces of distinct looking comfortable furniture. Not to mention the service is flawless with excellent service & hospitality. Our first night stay was so good and we decided to extend for another night at Shoheiso. Last tip: always go for the option with dinner included!
Everything was amazing . We stayed two nights with dinner and breakfast included . Each dish was a beauty of its own and the taste was fresh and delicious. Not the standard one would expect from a hotel dining spot. Because the facility is not big (only 14 rooms) , the host and hostess were very much like family. Even though toilet within the room was old but it’s very clean; I always shower at the public area anyway (most of the time there were only me). Overall a wonderful experience . All the family meme era were happy about it.
Onsen hot springs are wonderful, you won't use the bath/shower in the room. Don't miss out on the traditional tea room and free coffee machine located on the business centre side of the building, right on entering the building from main reception. Staff not fluent in English but very attentive and understanding all the same.
