房間舒適，食物不算太精緻，量大算可口。 工作人員有善有禮，能用英語溝通。早上旅館安排的山上看風景行程不錯。 溫泉區附近有超市及便利店，雖然景點不多，但在週邊散步的話挺舒服。 有免費穿梭巴士從岡山站直達旅館，十分方便。 最後有一點使我錯愕，浴室及溫泉洗澡區發現有曱甴，知道近月日本深受曱甴困擾，所以明白及理解，我解決後就不再出現。 另外浸溫泉時發現有松鼠出沒🐿️有趣 雖然有地方不妥善，但都推介。

岡山から行きやすい手頃で心地よい温泉宿。

岡山から県北に向かって１時間と４０分くらい走ると美作湯郷温泉に到着。ちょうどいいドライブコ－ス。 温泉街から一番手前に季譜の里が見えます。外観は小奇麗な旅館。 この日は近くの美作カントリ－でゴルフをして入ったので６時過ぎの為か出迎えなく自力でバゲ－ジを押して玄関に入ると ロビ－に居た若いお兄さんがお出迎えしてくれました。 玄関ロビ－は広くてすっきりした印象でお風呂上がりの浴衣のお客様が歩いてくる。 綺麗に手入れされた中庭を見ながら～受付・椅子SET・喫茶コ－ナ－・お土産処など全て白木でシンプルな和の中にお洒落感が漂う。ウエルカムの甘納豆とお茶を頂きながらお好みの枕を聞かれたりしてこだわりの宿と楽しみなスタ－ト。 時間が無いのでお部屋に入ると選べる浴衣の説明もそこそこにやはり清潔で綺麗な大浴場に入り露天風呂も駆け足でリサ－チ・・・ホテルを改装したとのことで露天エリアはプ－ルサイドの様なテントとタイルとベッドが～夏なら良いなぁと思わせる。 パウダ－ル－ムも清潔でまる。 主人と急ぎラストの７：３０からのお食事に指定されたお部屋を訪ねると全て個室風の仕切りがあり良い感じ。 懐石コ－スメニュ-になっていてお品書きも丁寧に先付からお刺身・・・メインは焼きガニと和牛の陶板焼きで大変満足。 合わせてビ－ル・スプマンテ・日本酒利き酒SET・ワインとフルに頂きました。 翌日の朝食もバランスよく彩りよくご用意頂き、夫婦揃って食道楽の我が家も大変満足でした。 お食事処とお土産処のスタッフ・フロントの方・お見送りの方も皆さんとても愛想が良く～また訪れたいお宿でした。

Excellent service, room and food. Very friendly staffs all around. The ryokan provided pick up and drop off service from Sayo JR station and Hayashino JR station which was very convenient to us (with JR pass). English speaking staffs provided assistance to us right after our booking (via email) and during our stay. The ryokan even organised a morning tour up to the mountain to see the fantastic cloud of sea which was unforgettable. Although the district was a quiet country side and without much to see, the stay was brilliant. Highly recommended.
