아마노하시다테역 × 석양이 인기 있는 숙소객실 및 어메니티 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

When we decided to visit Amanohashidate, we looked for a Hotel and chose Mercure. When I wrote in my message, “We will be visiting on my birthday,” the Room was decorated with a message card and a birthday cake made from towels. I had forgotten about it, so I was deeply moved. Both the Room and the large public bath were clean, and the entire Hotel felt thoughtfully kept to only what was necessary, making it very comfortable. The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes, and not only drinks but also alcohol were available—everything was taken care of. We went home completely satisfied. Thank you very much. I would love to visit again.

The other day, I had my annual “crab day” at Genmyoan again. This time they prepared Taiza crab for me, and I was able to enjoy it. It was three hours of satisfaction—satisfied, satisfied, truly satisfied. They do not serve hot pot dishes like “crab suki” here, and I agree that turning such great crab into a hot pot would be a waste. That is exactly why I keep choosing Genmyoan. They said it snowed quite a bit this year, but on my visit there was only a little snow left along the roadside. Genmyoan sits halfway up the mountain, and I believe it may be the only place with this kind of view looking down over Amanohashidate. The location is outstanding. As shown in the photos, being able to enjoy scenery that changes with time from your Room is very appealing. On the other hand, when it snows heavily, driving up the mountain road can be difficult. When I asked the proprietress this time, she told me that during severe snow they will come to pick guests up at Amanohashidate Station with rubber boots in the car. Being able to change into them at the station would be reassuring. (They provide Shuttle Service to the Accommodation regardless of snow.) Also, once you are past 70—even if it’s a once-a-year indulgent crab day—you may worry about not being able to finish everything. It seems they can adjust portions if you request in advance. If they can reduce the amount without compromising quality, you can keep enjoying it at any age. Because this relates to IKYU’s website meal listings and pricing, I do wonder how flexible such arrangements can be—but I would appreciate continued consideration for guests’ convenience. Lastly, their breakfast is also delicious: even when you feel you ate too much crab dinner-wise, you still end up overeating at breakfast. The Onsen has been refurbished and is clean. There is a tasting corner for chilled sake (you can sample and choose before dinner), and there is now a coffee room as well. There is also a room lined with CDs/DVDs/books from the owner’s personal collection; you can bring them back to your Room and enjoy them there. It feels like an Accommodation where each guest can find their own way to relax and have fun.

Due to a late arrival, I planned to walk or take a taxi from the station, but because of heavy snow that day, you kindly came to pick me up at the station. Even though it was last minute, I was able to enjoy the large public bath, which was very helpful. The next morning, my train was early and I wasn’t sure if I’d have time, but you drove me through the snow to Amanohashidate View Land. Thanks to the lift starting earlier than usual before opening hours, I could safely see snowy Amanohashidate! Although my stay was short, your kind hospitality made it an unforgettable experience. If I have another chance to visit Amanohashidate in the future, I would love to stay at this accommodation again. Thank you so much!
