Maybe my expectations were too high because the dinner was a French dinner at a hotel that advertised itself as an "auberge," but based on my satisfaction with the auberge in Hakone and Ureshino, I can't give it more than two points. I was disappointed. The food was at the level of a school group table manners class. The appetizer "Marinated Trout Salmon with Orange Flavor" and the fish dish "Sea Bream and Scallops Grilled with Fragrant Bread Crumbs in American Sauce" were pretty average, but the "Soup of the Day" was like the lunch soup at Gusto, and the "Dessert" was like the dessert at a hamburger restaurant. In particular, the meat dish "Beef Loin Steak with Warm Vegetables and Japonaise Sauce" was firmer than I'd had in a long time. The "bread," which seemed freshly baked, was perhaps the most delicious. After the meal, only "coffee" was served, but some people don't like it, so I think they should have at least prepared a choice between tea and coffee. In any case, I think they should give up the title of auberge. We were given the best room, the closest to Amanohashidate, so the view was great, but it was smaller than expected, and although we understood there was no toilet, it was a little far away, so it was embarrassing to pass other guests in the hallway in the middle of the night. On the other hand, the bath that was not in the room was the hot spring in the main building, Amanohashidate Hotel, and it was luxuriously designed. My wife said she wanted to stay here. There were plenty of souvenirs. We walked along the pine tree-lined street from Monjudo Hall on our morning walk, which was very pleasant, so we recommend it. The breakfast venue was also prepared at Amanohashidate Hotel, and we enjoyed a substantial buffet.
