It's a large building in a guesthouse, so there are no problems with the room or the bathroom...but are there more than stink bugs? I killed 15 of them in my room. There are plenty of them in the hallways and inside the building, and the food is delicious. Rabbit-horned stink bug (crying)Then, the group that checked in after 12:00 midnight made a lot of noise and their morale was at its worst, but the hosts should also be considerate. I canceled breakfast, couldn't sleep through the night, and left before sunrise. It's been a long time since I last had a bad memory.

It seems that the food is delicious and highly rated, but this time I stayed overnight without meals.Maybe I could have given it a higher rating if I had eaten, but...Although I knew it was an old guesthouse,Even if some insect infestation is unavoidable,One huge insect and countless small insects on the futon...The mess of shoes at the entrance,Spider webs all over the buildingPlease give me a break. .I'm sure the bath towels were washed there too.I wish they would at least clean that area.The people were warm and the food seemed delicious, so I think it's a waste of hygiene and cleanliness.

Used for overnight stay on business trip.The entrance is difficult to find, but the correct answer is to use the large lantern as a landmark and enter the open square with private houses.It's a guest house with a so-called homey atmosphere, and you can feel a strong sense of living there, but when I was having trouble finding only expensive accommodation in Takayama, I was able to find it when I was looking for an accommodation in a reasonable price range.The room is a compact Japanese-style room that is showing its age, but it was air-conditioned so it was comfortable.I don't know if some rooms don't have it🤔The area around the pond in front of the main entrance is decorated with neatly pruned trees, and appears to have been managed by the previous owner, so it was well maintained.The area around the pond has become a playground for the famous cats, which is soothing.The bathroom has a large bathtub, and if you estimate the size of the room, it could barely fit 6 people.There are two washing areas, but I was satisfied that I was able to take a bath comfortably.It might be a good idea to thoroughly clean the slime under the drain cover.Hand towels and toothbrushes are available at the front desk, but bath towels are not available for rent, so we recommend bringing your own.I wanted to visit for private purposes, not for work.Momo-chan, the pet dog next to the shed, may look scary at first glance, but she's a friendly dog ​​who gets excited when you touch her.If you like strong dogs who don't mind large dogs, you might want to touch her.He will bite when he gets excited, but he is generally a playful and adorable dog who loves people.This time I used it for business, but I also wanted to use it for private purposes and enjoy the delicious rice and beef dishes.

The location is quite far from Takayama city, but there are almost no traffic lights, so I arrived earlier than I expected.The breakfast was delicious this time, so next time I would like to stay with half board.

Deep in the super countryside. There aren't even vending machines nearby.The room is old, but it is worth the price and is in good condition.Dinner is expensive, starting at 3000 yen, but I think it's worth it.Others are normal.
