Visited in June 2024.I used it on my return trip to Kagoshima and Chiran.I felt at ease with the cheerful and polite reception staff.Perhaps due to the reservation situation, I was given a very spacious room.I basically used it just for sleeping.There are no problems.There are convenience stores and pubs nearby, so you can have a comfortable stay.This is true in general when traveling.It is convenient to have an extension cord.In the lobby on the first floor, there is a shop selling souvenirs and canned beer, as well as a restaurant, and breakfast is also available upon reservation.

⭐︎The reason I gave it a 4 is that the description of the facility on the website mentioned a large public bath, but in reality, only groups of guests could use it, which was disappointing. Others received warm service that showed their dedication.However, I was introduced to a local hot spring that was only a 2-3 minute walk away, and was able to get a discounted ticket from ¥420 to ¥400, so I was able to enjoy it to the fullest.

When I stayed there, it was 2,500 yen per night, and we shared a large room with a shower. I'm glad it felt appropriate. There were also convenience stores and restaurants nearby.

Nice and clean room, nice guest house, good services. Relatively big room, cozy and warm. We did not dine in the guest house. There are other restaurants nearby. Reasonable price, they provide everything you need. Highly recommended for budget travellers. But you need to drive, not accessible by public transport.

The room was clean and quiet. Although it was for one person, there was a bed, a large sofa, and a washroom, so it was spacious enough.I was able to enjoy Chiran tea, and there were leaflets about Chiran tourism and books to learn about special attacks in Chiran in the room, so I was very satisfied.There are convenience stores, drug stores, hot springs, and sushi restaurants nearby within walking distance.It's a very nice place, so I would like to use it again.
