I visited this inn just because I wanted to enjoy cherry blossom viewing in an open-air bath. It is located along the Shogawa River near Gokayama, and I was greeted by cherry blossoms in full bloom in front of the entrance. The clear stream can be seen from the window of the room, but it is a little disappointing that the stone bank of the dam is in view. As soon as I checked in, I took a bath while admiring the cherry blossoms in full bloom. In addition to the "Hana-no-yu" and "Yume-no-yu" (alternate for men and women) set in the garden, where you can feel one with nature, there is also a private family bath. After the bath, they serve matcha tea and sweets, which I enjoyed in a corner of the garden with cherry blossoms in bloom. As the name "Mido-zashiki" suggests, the dinner was high-quality and elaborate. The sashimi was fresh seafood caught in Toyama Bay, the shrimp sashimi with sea urchin was quite delicious, and the koshihikari rice cooked in a stove was also good. The only disappointment was that the dining room was empty, and a group of guests made a seat right next to me, which made it a little noisy and made it difficult to concentrate on the meal. It may be easy to serve the food, but I wish they would give it a little more thought.
