Yamaichi Ryokan

You can stay here with your pets, whether dogs or cats, and have meals with them too. Meals are buffet-style at night and in the morning. At breakfast they serve Aji, or horse mackerel, and I could eat the whole fish, even the back bones. I had three of them, LOL.

I got there before noon, but the weekday lunch buffet was almost full, with lots of older customers. Maybe that was why it felt so calm, and I could take my time eating. The selection wasn't huge, but they topped up the fresh sashimi whenever it got low, which left me very satisfied. The staff felt warm and homely, and they cleared my dishes at a sensible time without rushing me. They had hot and iced coffee and tea, plus cold milk. I added some milk to my coffee and enjoyed it after the meal. As of January 2026, weekday lunch costs 1,700 yen including tax, and PayPay is accepted.

The buffet had lots of tasty, home-style dishes, and the staff were very attentive. Although the place is on a busy street, it was surprisingly quiet, and it's close to the station. I'd like to stay here again. I stayed in an apartment on a plan that included breakfast. Having a separate bathroom, sink, and toilet was convenient. The kitchen made it easy to wash teacups and refill the electric kettle, so I could relax as if I were at home. The towel rack was handy too, with enough room for several bath towels.
