Since rain was forecast for the afternoon, I arrived at Goryu Sanso in the morning, but check-in didn’t start until 12:00, so I had to wait out in the cold (sob). I think they let me check in a little early, though. I was glad they switched my breakfast for the next day from a bento box to a meal in the dining hall. I was stunned to find the “Silkworm Room” had five sets of 60-centimeter futons, but in reality, there were only three of us in a five-person room. I wish they’d told us that from the start. I’d assumed four more people were coming later, so I’d been crammed in there the whole time… For dinner, I would’ve liked a small salad. Wi-Fi is available only in the dining hall. Bottled water is 300 yen for 500 ml. As someone who had to cut the trip short due to the weather, the 5,000-yen repeat guest discount during the season was a real treat!

We stayed in a private room for three people, just the two of us. It was clean, well-soundproofed, and equipped with power outlets, USB ports, and hangers—a room well worth the price (20,500 yen per night, including dinner). The toilet had a Washlet. A representative from the Mountain Safety Association was on-site, and it was great to get advice on hiking routes and other tips after dinner. The gift shop closes at 5:30 p.m., so you’ll need to do your shopping before dinner! Cooled water and hot water (500 ml for 300 yen) are available 24 hours a day.

Based on the prompt and courteous responses I received to my online inquiries, I gave the highest rating for customer service. Thank you for accommodating my numerous schedule changes. Dinner was curry and rice, and I was delighted that they happily let me have seconds.

I was surprised at how clean the restroom was.

We’re a group of four middle-aged guys who stayed for one night at the end of July. When we arrived at the mountain lodge, the staff’s explanation was very quick and stress-free. I was surprised at how clean our room (private room) was. What surprised me even more was that the toilet seat had a shower nozzle attached to it. Also, the curry rice for dinner was delicious, and we really liked that we could get unlimited refills of the curry sauce. Unfortunately, we couldn’t enjoy the view from Mt. Goryu this time due to cloudy skies, so we’d like to try again. Thank you very much.

The restroom was surprisingly clean. I was amazed that a mountain lodge could have a restroom like that. I’m sorry, but since there were no ingredients in the curry roux itself, I rated dinner a 3. Maybe I just got a bad batch. The curry itself tasted great, though.

The restrooms and changing rooms were incredibly clean. I never would have dreamed that a mountain lodge would have such clean restrooms—I was truly impressed. The curry we had for dinner was so delicious it felt like it was soaking right into my tired body. The free Wi-Fi was also very convenient. The place was very well-maintained, and I had a very comfortable stay. I’d love to visit again.

We arrived completely exhausted after battling heavy rain and strong winds. Hearing “Thank you for your hard work!” really put my mind at ease. Also, even though we arrived on schedule, the front desk staff didn’t rush us through check-in but waited patiently until we had settled in. My phone froze because of the rain… When they realized it wasn’t working, they kindly told me, “We can handle it here at the lodge,” and took care of it for me. The staff’s greetings and service, the clean drying room, washroom, and restrooms, and the delicious meals— Thank you very much.

This was my first time staying here. The staff were very friendly and worked efficiently, which left a good impression on me. The curry and sausages for dinner were delicious. However, I was disappointed that the selection of food at the convenience store was limited. I had run out of the snacks I’d brought with me and wanted to buy some more. If there had been outlets on both sides of the room, I would have rated it even higher.
