5/5
It was a very good guest house! It’s the best😄The guest room is a normal bathroom with a unit bath, a small refrigerator, an air conditioner, a TV, and 6 tatami mats? 4 tatami mats? is. There is nothing particularly good about customer service or service. The location is down a narrow road that is hard to find at night, and it's a really steep uphill climb! Don't you need some driving technique? A zigzag fold that makes you think! (Although there is no distance)The reason why I gave it 5 stars is because of the food and the bath!This is the best accommodation! 😄😄😄👍This is an inn where you can spend a happy time!There are two baths, an open-air bath and an indoor bath, both of which can be reserved for free. This is a system where you enter your desired time on a ledger after arriving at your accommodation. Although it only has an open-air bath, it is spacious and has a very nice atmosphere. (I think it's a hot spring♨)Meals are optional, but please call in advance or specify when making a reservation for boiled golden sea bream. Big golden sea bream! I think it's good to have one dog for 2 to 3 people. It's really very delicious 😋😋😋 Other than the golden sea bream, it's just normal inn food. (It may not be very luxurious)Breakfast is also normal, but we can re-grill the mackerel ourselves and eat freshly grilled fish (although the fish are small 😅).

To be able to stay cheaply, you have to give up something. Please give up on soundproofing your room. You can hear people talking in the next room and footsteps from upstairs. All I can do is get drunk and sleep. Buy it in advance at a nearby convenience store. There are 4 types of baths. You can fill out the paper next to the front desk and take two slots (each slot is 20 minutes long). The food was delicious as usual. There was Wi-Fi.

Be sure to include boiled kinme with your meal. The evaluation will change drastically depending on whether this is present or not. The reviews were so bad that they probably didn't give it a rating.Also, if you don't like seafood, it's better to exclude it from your accommodation options. The main dish is always fish.The baths are not large enough for the whole family, which may seem inconvenient, but there are 3 of them and reservations are required, so if you make good use of them, they will be very comfortable.The room had new tatami mats, so it wasn't bad. As stated on the homepage, it is outdated in many places. Even though the water area is a Japanese-style room, it can't be helped that it suddenly turns into a three-piece unit...Despite the recession and labor shortage, I can feel their efforts. We wanted to encourage customers to cooperate with us, rather than just asking employees to handle the many self-service items.Considering the structure of the building, it's not an inn where you can hang out with a large number of people, and it's not an inn where you would take infants or elderly caregivers, so I felt that the low rating was not worth referring to.

It's been a long time since I last stayed in a bad hotel. Anyway, the food was poor, and dinner consisted of hot pot, sashimi, horse mackerel namero, and 3 appetizers. The quantity is also small. The rest is self-serve rice, potato tempura, and soup.The morning sashimi, Kinmedai, was watery and tasteless. I think the sound leakage from other rooms can't be helped from the appearance, but the bathroom was also poor. The semi-open-air bath is just like the bathtub you have at home. The futon was so thin that my back hurt.

It's quiet and perfect for bike touring, but the problem is that you have to drive half way to the parking lot of the inn (^_^;)Although it was a little difficult, it was an inn that I would like to visit again.

It was a very cost-effective accommodation. Dinner and breakfast were also very good for the price. To be honest, the baths require reservations. One slot was 20 minutes, and the maximum for two slots was 40 minutes, which was a little short. If possible, I would have been able to enjoy the bath a little more slowly if I had maxed out 2 30 minute slots.

Staying soloThe customer service, food, and hot springs are all excellent.The facility is like an old private house that has been renovated, and it has a calm and quaint atmosphere, which I personally like.The food is mainly fish, but the quantity is just right, and the sashimi is fresh.Is the disadvantage the location?I was surprised when I went there on my bike because it's on the top of a hill.

Food is terrible considering the priceFrozen food informationIt's called a hot spring, but it doesn't feel like a hot spring, and even though it's like an old folk house, it's just dirty.I went back and looked at the reviews, and someone with the same last name as the owner gave it 5 stars, so it seems possible that Sakura was giving it a high rating.At the same time, that person gave a low rating to a nearby inn.This is an inn where you need to be careful about the reviews.

This is an inn where you can enjoy a tasteful space. It feels like a museum and is filled with rare exhibits. There were little surprises like a carved bear sculpture, a wasp nest, and a stuffed crocodile!Dinner was filled with a boatload of sashimi, horse mackerel namero, golden sea bream hot pot, miso soup with simmered fish, udon noodles, and Koshihikari rice from Minamiuonuma. Sake is served in a sake bottle.I enjoyed the open air bath and the large public bath. It was great to be able to enjoy it with my family by making a reservation.I visited with low expectations as there were a lot of negative reviews, but I had no complaints. The only drawback is the aging of the table tennis table and rackets. Still, I had fun with the kids ♫

In short, it was the worst.[A couple in their 20s, their son (infant), and the wife's biological mother] stayed here.25,000 yen per person (infant 2000 yen) for overnight stay without meals during Obon.I've been coming to Shimoda several times a year for over 20 years, and this is the lowest level ever.It was a shame that there were so many things I didn't like about it that there wasn't a single good thing about it.・[Inside the building] The worst thing is that it hasn't been cleaned and the whole thing is dirty (the water area is especially dirty, where I want a sense of cleanliness)・[Facilities/Customer Service] Since it was summer, I asked them to freeze the ice pack I wanted to use to cool down my baby the next day, but it wasn't frozen at all. It would be fine if it just didn't harden, but I was given a strange excuse, ``It's like something that won't harden...'' but it's true that the things I use all the time harden. If you can't use the freezer, just let me know when you drop it off so I can take care of things like freezing it at a friend's house, so I wanted them to let me know in advance if they couldn't use it, and I felt angry that they gave me an excuse. It was my son's first trip in the summer, so ice packs were very important.・[Room] No hairdryer or amenities in the room・There was a photo of the table tennis table, and I was looking forward to it, but it was open until 8pm, so I wasn't able to play. (Unfortunately, many other hotels allow you to play after dinner.)・[Customer service] Even for a short time when loading and unloading luggage from the car, customers are noisy and ask us to put our shoes in the shoe rack. (I've never heard anything like that at any other hostel.)・[Customer service] I didn't like being asked about my next schedule in detail, such as check-out time (I want to spend time without worrying about the time since it's a special schedule)・Towel smellI think that the lack of staff is partly to blame for the lack of cleaning, and the fact that I am asked about my future plans in detail. (The place I stayed at the day before was run by one person, but every inch of it was clean, so I was even more concerned about it.)I will never use it again.
