Experience of the stay
It was my first stay at Fairfield by Marriott. It was simple yet comfortable, allowing me to relax thoroughly.
▼Room
The room was simple but warm with wooden accents, which made it feel spacious.
The bed was incredibly comfortable with memory foam.
There was no workspace desk, so for those looking to work, the lounge would be a better option.
▼Lounge
The lounge isn't very large, but it's a cozy place with three floors and about 30 rooms, so it wasn't crowded and was comfortable to use.
The lounge offers sencha and hojicha from Nanzan Castle, which you can freely drink. Even though it’s in tea bags, the flavor is quite authentic, which shows it's a town of tea.
The miso soup was also delicious, not at all like instant soup!
▼Amenities
There are no skincare products like lotion provided, so bring your own. Just so you know, the in-room shampoo and conditioner smell nice but can be quite harsh on the hair. You might want to bring your shampoo as well if you're concerned.
▼▼Access
I used public transportation to get there. The nearest station, Tsukigaseguchi Station, is close enough that you can see the Marriott, but the route is winding, so it takes about a 10-minute walk.
The train I took from Kamo Station was quite charming.
Experiences during the trip
▼Roadside Station
I had dinner and breakfast at the roadside station.
Dinner was village curry, and breakfast was a tea porridge set. Personally, I found the meals to be average.
What stands out is the tea sweets!
The matcha here is just delicious! I tried matcha soft serve, matcha dumplings, matcha pudding, and matcha pound cake, and they were all tasty.
I had never been interested in matcha sweets before, but I was surprised at how delicious they are. I highly recommend trying them, whether you love matcha or not.
▼Walking in the Tea Fields
In the morning, I took a stroll in the tea fields right in front of the inn. The plants grown under cover are gyokuro and sweet tea, known for their rich umami and aroma.
I couldn't go far without a car, but it felt worthwhile to be there just the same.Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
