A small inn with 8 rooms. A cozy, family-run inn. There are three family baths, one is an open-air bath that requires reservations, and the other two are open to the public as long as they are available. The meals for dinner and breakfast are very delicious and plentiful. You can bring your own drinks. If you're lucky, you'll be able to meet the calico cat Mito-chan (the young proprietress) and the brown tabby Kou-chan (the young master).

The inn has a homely atmosphere, and I was able to truly relax with the warm hospitality of the host and landlady and the wonderful food. The hot springs are reserved for private use, so you can relax. It was easily accessible and convenient for walking around Gero Onsen Town and visiting hot springs. I was also healed by the young proprietress, Mito-chan, the beautiful cat. I felt a sense of satisfaction that I couldn't get at a large hotel. thank you very much.

Looking at other people's reviews, does Kou-chan seem friendly? Can we play? That's what I thought, but I got a really weird look on my face and it was actually cute lol lol I guess I surprised you, sorry 🥺Mito-chan showed us how she was relaxing! ! It was a wonderful inn where you could clearly feel that it was loved not only by the guests but also by the family! The staff were also very friendly and spoke to us!To be honest, I was completely looking for cats, but the bath was unexpectedly amazing. I got all three and it was so good! It's hot and slippery! I'll come back later! Kou-chan, I hope we can get along next time! ! !

I decided to stay here just for Mito-chan, but after staying there, I found out I was right!The host and landlady were very attentive to us, the food was hearty and delicious (and you could bring your own drinks), and we had a relaxing time in the private hot springs.Although the inn itself is not brand new, it is well-maintained and well-maintained, so you can spend a comfortable time there.Mito-chan, thank you for playing with us so much!I would like to meet Kou-chan next time as well.

It's a small inn, but the food is delicious and hearty.The bath is only for family members, so it's nice to be able to relax and enjoy it without having to meet other people.Considering the level of satisfaction, I think it would be a good idea to pay more for the accommodation fee⁉️I also got to meet Kou-chan, the signboard cat, and he was so cute.I would like to stay there again.

The meals were all to my liking and plentiful, so I had more than I could finish. All three indoor baths are family baths, so you can take a relaxing bath without having to run into other people. Other than the cypress baths, which require reservations, a good point is that you can use them as many times as you like as long as they are available. The bath is said to be good for the skin, and my skin felt smooth the next day. I was really looking forward to staying at the inn because it had a famous cat, but I didn't get to meet Mito-chan, the young proprietress. I also want to go for revenge.
