Nambu, Yamanashi, Japan｜そば宿福いち

I visited Minobuyama Kuonji Temple from October 25th to 26th. The soba main dish was delicious and I was very satisfied, but the bath was so amazing that I couldn't help but take a long bath... It's divided by time, so you can take your time at your own pace. Thank you very much to the well-spoken wife and the friendly general. I would like to use it again next spring for a visit.

This is an inn that serves meals centered around soba noodles. The meal consists of soba noodles. It was great. The soba sushi was good. Not only the soba but also the tempura and rice were delicious. The room was a Japanese style room. After sleeping through the night, my body was a little sore. There were two groups of guests that day. Baths were available by reservation. Payment is by cash only. please note.

It was a Japanese-style inn located in Nanbu Town, the southernmost tip of Yamanashi Prefecture. The name is "Soba Yado Fukuichi". I was looking for a sulfur spring on the internet and found it. It was built in 2023, about 8 years old, but it looked so clean that you would think it was new. It was run solely by the owner and his wife. There were 4 rooms in total, 8 tatami Japanese-style rooms and 12 tatami Japanese-style rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors, respectively. The toilet is shared. There were two baths located down the stone steps. It was a bath made of natural megaliths. There was a sign on the entrance door to the bathroom that said, ``Be careful of freshwater crabs under the door.'' Furthermore, there were no freshwater crabs that day. After washing your body, go to Zabun. Ah, it feels good. The sulfur springs at around 40 degrees Celsius made my skin smooth. The quality of the hot springs is highly recommended for women. Well, the dinner at Soba Inn was Soba Kaiseki. There are appetizers, soba sashimi, wild vegetable tempura and soba tempura, and many other side dishes.The main dishes are two types, the owner's signature 100 percent soba and Hitachi soba. The 100% soba had a firm core and was easy to swallow. I think I would have been able to enjoy the flavor of the soba more if the soba soup was a little sweeter. And for dessert, it was soba pudding. As expected of Soba Inn. The soba kaiseki menu was larger than I expected, both in terms of menu and volume. After dinner, I took a second bath and then went to bed. Sleeping in bed while listening to the murmuring of the stream flowing alongside the inn felt luxurious. When I woke up the next morning, I took a bath for the third time. It feels good no matter how many times I enter. Breakfast includes pickles, grilled mackerel, seaweed, and original natto. I wonder if this is also handmade, and it was my first time seeing natto. And miso soup. The mackerel was delicious. It was mackerel with oil on it. I checked out at 8:45 a.m. to go to work in the afternoon, and headed to Tokyo. My timid companion had forgotten something at the hotel. There was no way I could turn back from Shin-Tomei, so I asked the owner to ship it to me with cash on delivery. We apologize for the inconvenience, but the item you left behind has arrived safely. The owner and his wife took care of us from beginning to end. Next time, I would like to bring all my relatives and rent it out. Everyone had a nice place to stay.
