Taiza Onsenkyo Yadori Sanyoso

We were able to book a private room and enjoy our meal in peace on a family trip from Tokyo. It was Obon, when many restaurants were closed, so we were glad to find a reservation. The seafood bowl looked as good as it tasted, and all the sashimi was very fresh and delicious. I'll definitely go again.

We reached the inn from Amino Station on the free shuttle, after booking because we wanted crab for New Year's Eve. The raw crab came in several styles: sashimi, shabu-shabu, grilled, and hot pot, all skillfully served by the waitress. Each of us also got a boiled crab, which we had to work to pick apart and eat ourselves. The sashimi and shabu-shabu were sweet and practically melted in my mouth, just what crab should be. The tempura came out freshly fried and piping hot, then we finished with rice porridge. There was no ponzu or sanbaizu sauce; we enjoyed the ingredients' natural flavors, and that was plenty. The room rattled in the wind, but we came to enjoy crab at a long-established inn, and it was a delicious day. The next day we made the three-hour trip to Kyoto.

The facilities are old, but the guest rooms keep a retro feel with tatami mats and carpets. I came mainly for good crab, and for that, this is the best place, regardless of what other inn services it offers. I can guarantee a wonderful meal and experience.

The food was good, and the waitresses handled the crab so I could eat my fill without any hassle. I was very satisfied with the full-course meal I'd booked for. The building is old, though, and in strong winds the windows rattled. Drafts made the room cold, and the air conditioning couldn't keep up with the heat. The bath was quite small, so I waited until it was empty, but then it was too hot! lol The food was good, but the facilities...
