Onyado Megumi in Yugawara

I stayed for two nights from January 1st.

A suite in the main building with an indoor bath cost 67,000 yen per person per night.

Apparently, it was about 20% more expensive than usual.

The room was spacious and nice, with a separate dining area and bedroom, but unfortunately, the service was not at all commensurate with the price.

I wouldn't say this inn was terrible, but it wasn't worth the price.

- Drinks were self-service at the reception in the lounge.

- Even after being shown to our room, they didn't make us tea. I thought it was Nakai-san, the room attendant, but it was just a guide.

- The food was supposed to be special New Year's dishes, but it didn't feel very New Year's. It felt like dinner at a slightly nicer inn, which was disappointing.

You make your own tea at dinner.

The tuna sashimi was just regular lean meat. It wasn't fatty tuna...

- Dishes that should have been cooked and served hot, such as gratin, grilled fish, and spiny lobster, were pre-made and cold. (The spiny lobster was served under the guise of a "salad," but it seemed like nothing more than an excuse for only being able to serve something cold.)
I'm sure the cooks had a hard time, but how would you feel if you paid over 60,000 yen for a night's stay and were served a cold gratin?
The next morning, there was no New Year's feeling and it was just a regular breakfast with ozōni instead of rice.
-For dinner on the second day, spiny lobster was served again.
This time it was grilled with white sauce and, unlike yesterday, it was warm, but it basically tasted the same. I wonder if they'd serve it two days in a row?
Also served at the same time were three snow crab legs. They were probably just cut up and placed on a plate after being purchased as boiled crab.
Boiled crab can be eaten at home, so isn't it embarrassing to serve food you're not working on?
Plus, what's the point of serving shrimp and crab at the same time? The idea that people will be happy if you serve shrimp and crab is just outdated.
After that, there was a gap of about 30 minutes before the last dish was served. Also, despite breakfast being due at 8:30 the next morning, the food only arrived at 7:15.
They seemed seriously short-staffed, and I felt sorry for the person serving the food.

The table in the main Japanese-style room is small and can only hold tea and snacks.

They rent out board games at the front desk, but you can't play them here.

It's incomplete. You can't relax.


When going to the large public bath, you have to pass by the courtyard, which is outside and so it's cold.

I also pass by here after my bath.

I felt like I was going to have a heart attack.


It seems like they're probably understaffed and operations aren't running smoothly. I'm sure they're having a lot of management difficulties, but if that's the case, they should charge a price that's commensurate with that.


From a customer's perspective, even if it's the New Year's rate, I think it should be 40,000 yen at most.



30,000 yen would be reasonable normally.
