Yamashiro Onsen Miyabi No Yado Kaga Hyakumangoku

This hotel met or exceeded every expectation my lovely wife and I had. For our first trip to Japan we wanted to have a true set Japanese meal totally immersed in the culture and this delivered. We didn’t opt for the traditional Japanese style room as was out of our budget but our ‘western’ room was huge, clean, well equipped and even had traditional yakuta for us to wear to dinner and we did! Dinner was beyond OISHI! I dont even know half of what we ate but the beef, which we grilled ourselves, and veggies and various raw fish served was unbelievably delicious. I was served the best pieces of raw tuna Ive had this whole trip! The hotel is like Overlook hotel massive! All the facilities were readily available and clean, including two massage chairs with a view that we took advantage of for an hour completely free. Cannot review the on site onsen as my wife and I are quite covered with tattoos and we weren’t really there for the onsen anyway. We did have the amazing Madonna (yep thats her name) ask management and they advised if we went after 9pm it would be fine. The staff were lovely and very helpful once translations through phone apps were made. Madonna, the young lady who checked us in had great english but seemed to be the only one and this was NOT an issue for us. I only have one slightly negative thing and its just a bit of a Larry David moment… at dinner I ordered a coke and it came in an average size glass filled with ive and when checking out was charged the equivalent of 2£ for it. The meal was already paid in full in advance. This only bothers me because there is a FREE soda fountain in the lobby where you can get FREE coke 24/7 so why charge at the restaurant? I would expect to be charged for alcohol or even juice but this is just me being knit picky. HIGHLY RECOMMEND STAYING HERE!
