Experience of the stay
My stay at Fairfield was my second location.
It was enjoyable to relax in a stress-free space that felt like home and to buy my favorite products at the road station while enjoying local consumption!
〈Facility〉
I stayed at Minami Yamashiro last time, but the structure of the room was almost the same, so I felt reassured.
There is a shared lounge on the first floor, and vending machines and simple snacks are available.
There are rooms from the first to the third floor, and it felt like there were more rooms than at Minami Yamashiro.
〈Lounge〉
Coffee, tea, and miso soup are free.
The coffee seemed to be from Kaldi and was quite good. Although it is charged, Tanba wine was also available and served in a glass.
There were several groups dining in the lounge at any time I went there.
〈Room〉
While it wasn't extremely spacious, it was genuinely relaxing. There might be a feeling of warmth from the wood in the space.
The hair dryer was powerful, and the ample number of outlets made it easy to spend time there stress-free. Fairfield does not have a bathtub, only a shower, but it is surprisingly warm even in winter.
〈Amenities〉
Amenities include a toothbrush but no toner, so bringing your own is a must.
Also, the provided shampoo is a 2-in-1 rinse, so if you are particular about shampoo, you might want to bring your own shampoo and conditioner as well.
(The rinse-in shampoo at Fairfield smells very nice, but especially for women, some might find it a bit tangly.)
〈Access〉
You can also reach it by public transportation! There are several ways to get there, but this time I took the train to Goma Station and then a bus. Be careful as both train and bus services have few runs.
〈Meals〉
I had lunch at the food establishment at the road station before check-in, and for dinner and breakfast, I enjoyed items purchased at the road station in my room.

Experiences during the trip
【Road Station】
The road station was busier than I imagined, especially since it was a holiday, and there were many people.
It offers everything from local vegetables to alcoholic beverages (craft beer, Tanba wine, sake, etc.), prepared dishes, bento boxes, and sweets. It is a large road station with a wide variety of products, so I was at a loss about what to choose.
Around 2 PM on the holiday, it was so crowded that I got overwhelmed, so I revisited around 5 PM.
In the evening, there were fewer people, allowing me to browse the products leisurely, although many items were sold out!
◆ Lunch
I enjoyed it at the road station's boci!
It was a meal featuring Tanba black soybeans. The black soybeans rice was especially delicious…!
◆ Dinner
I purchased sushi made with Tanba beef and craft beer (black soybean beer) and enjoyed them in my room. The locally produced mozzarella cheese was also creamy and very delicious.
◆ Breakfast
For breakfast, I had black soybean bread purchased at the road station and coffee from the hotel. It was great to enjoy local production for all three meals.
【Nearby Exploration】
Since I can’t drive, I explored the area on foot.
Next to the road station, there was a burial mound park. There were also bicycle racks, so it seems fun to visit on a road bike.
If you can drive, there are a winery that is the first in Kyoto and an inexpensive mini-golf course about 5 minutes away by car, making the surrounding facilities appealing as well.Get Extra Bonus Coins! Sign up with this user's referral code now!
