Beautiful River, Isolated Therapeutic Stay

This was one of my favorite places on my Japan trip! This hotel is isolated so it may not be for everyone. You won't find Conbinis nearby, but my husband and I loved the isolation. The hotel is built right next to the river, so we booked a room with a private onsen inside and we had an amazing river view. They light up the river at night so you can see it as you enjoy your onsen dip. The meals are presented in a traditional Japanese style course which was delicious. I'm also thankful that the staff can speak English. The staff was super friendly and accommodating.

My husband and I checked out of Toshimaya last week, and it was one of the most incredible experiences we’ve ever had. We had decided to take a break from our Tokyo honeymoon by visiting a more rural area in the mountains, and I was blessed to stumble across Toshimaya. The inn and surrounding area is even more beautiful than photos can convey. Once taking the bus from Nakanojo Station up to Shima Onsen (the trip was much easier than I’d initially anticipated), we walked in and were greeted by the staff. An amazing employee named Yuki introduced us to the inn and went over the basics before she showed us to our room. Yuki is an asset to the team, and she made us feel welcome and at home! We stayed in the Tsuwabuki room due to our need for a private onsen. We have tattoos! The onsen was magnificent, but I especially loved the treeline view as you soak in the hot water. Meals were locally sourced as far as we could tell, and we tried some foods we wouldn’t have normally had the guts to order, like sakura niku. It was fresh and delicious! Breakfast was laid out each morning around 8am, and just as elaborate as dinner! The river that rushes underneath never ceases, and lulls your warm, yukata-wrapped body to sleep as you lie on a comfy futon, after your amazing kaiseki meal. For smokers, the tiny smoking room was very pleasant, continuously kept clean, and located in the lobby. I also want to thank Toshimaya for their kind anniversary gift and their thoughtfulness.

The room we stayed was facing to river side but at the corner of the building. Then, the view was not good. Meals were well prepared.

フロントは日本人のスタッフのみだったのが食事の時は外国人実習生と思われる人のみで、丁寧な接客だったが料理の説明をやっと話せる程度なのでコミュニケーションは取れなかった。ビュッフェではないので会話が出来たらもっと楽しい食事になると思います。日本人スタッフを数人配置してフォローをしたら良いのかと思いました。 お部屋はとてもよく、清掃も綺麗にされていました。ただ、お部屋に温泉があるので扇風機かうちわを部屋に置いていただけるとお風呂上がりに便利だと思います。 とても良いお宿だったのでまた利用したいと思います。ありがとうございました。
