真是一次非常難忘的旅行，從下關去長門湯本温泉入住別邸音信，第一次穿越山口縣境內崎嶇山路，一路美景相伴，音信川流水不息，酒店的硬件設施和員工的服務水平真的好，無與倫比，非常值得下次再去入哦！

WOW! This was the first Ryokan Onsen that I stayed in and I was blown away by the lodging, the amazing staff, and the food. I say lodging because my ryokan has as much square footage as my home—a balcony, an outdoor onsen, shower and changing area, two separate toilet rooms, an open configurable area with kitchen, dining area, living room area, and sleeping area. They provided a yukata and a cloth purse that I wore for meals in the restaurant, and pajamas for relaxing in the accommodations. Every corner of the room and the ryokan was thoughtfully decorated—flower arrangements, ceramics, pictures, and so on. Happy hour each evening was a relaxing affair in the low-key bar area. Our tuxedo-clad host was efficient and friendly. Guests have a choice of "American" or Japanese breakfast. I tried each. "American" breakfast is much different from what we'd have in the USA, but you won't get the tasty Umeboshi plum or Japanese pickles provided with the Japanese breakfast. I found that both choices were far too much for me. On two days I opted instead to get a pastry from the bake shop and eat in my room. The kaiseki was fabulous. I was with a group (10 total) so we dined in our own room each night. Each night had a different menu. If you want to get an idea of what the experience was like, see the photos I posted for each of the kaiseki courses we had on the first night. Thanks to Head Chef Junichi Takeda for the wonderful meals and to Otani-san for being such a gracious and wonderful host.

お部屋の広さ、お部屋の露天風呂、食事、すべてに文句なしです。半年前から予約を入れてました。口コミは一生に一度は泊まったみたかったと書いたありましたので私もそう思いました。館内はすべて畳がしかれていてスリッパは不要でした。お部屋ではずっとBGMを聞くことができます。お風呂でも聞けました。冷蔵庫の利用も無料でした。 大人の宿ですね。静かで上品でのんびりできました。お部屋の露天風呂は二人でゆっくりと浸かれました。是非ともまた伺いたいお宿です。
