Miyake

Stayed in a traditional Japanese 1 room accommodation with shared bathroom and shower/bath. Owners very welcoming and helpful. The owner lady spoke virtually no English and we can speak virtually no Japanese, but we got by with lots of hand signals! Accommodation very clean and tidy. We had half board and did not regret this as the quality and quantity of traditional Japanese food on offer was exceptional. Dish after dish after dish kept being brought to the table. Fish, meat, vegetables, pickles, miso, rice, sweets all prepared and presented beautifully. Strict times for bathing at the inn and we used the Onsen about a 10-minute drive away. The owner of the inn gave us a discount voucher for the onsen. If you have never experienced an onsen then this would be a great place to start. Just read upon onsen etiquette and prepare for nude bathing. Indulging in this Japanese pastime can become addictive! So, in summary; lovely, good value accommodation with excellent traditional Japanese food.
