This time, I specifically chose Nipponia Terrace Izumo, which is quite far from JR Izumo Station, mainly because I really wanted to experience this brand of hotel. It certainly didn't disappoint and left me with perfect memories of my trip.
The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Upon arrival, they offered hot tea and ginger candy from the local old town, and introduced the environment and facilities. I was surprised to learn that the lobby of this branch offers sake for guests to enjoy at any time. There were about 10-15 bottles of sake, with a variety of sake glasses to choose from, and even equipment for humidifying sake was provided. The room was very clean, with air conditioning, heating, and a humidifier (since I checked in at 8 pm, the hotel had already turned them on before I arrived, which I was very grateful for). The bathroom deserves high praise; it had a spacious dressing area (with heating), a bathtub made of stone and wood, and the bathroom walls were also made of wood. The steam from the shower released a very soothing and relaxing woody aroma. What I absolutely loved was the tea and coffee brewing area in the entryway, which provided guests with coffee beans, a manual grinder, and filters, making me feel right at home.
I had a special reservation for dinner one night, and the food was quite delicious, although it was definitely too much for one person. But it was a truly memorable experience of Nipponia's thoughtfulness!
