Great place! Warm and welcome hospitality. We came spontaneously and they welcomed us and let us eat dinner (which was great!) even though we didn’t reserve before. At the end one of the staff took us to our next destination (the ropeway) and it was very convenient. Great food, great people, great value for money, in a beautiful place.

Those who like it will be irresistible...First of all, if you are staying overnight, please check what amenities are available and bring what you need.There is only the minimum necessary here.I don't have any skin care products, which are common these days.As long as you clear that, the water is good and the food is delicious.When it comes to food, there may be fewer men.My husband had a second helping of rice and was full (lol).I don't think they could provide additional dishes.I stayed in a room with a toilet, but there were no hand towels in the toilet. Let's bring a towel (lol) *There is one bath towel and one face towel for bathing.But above all, the host and staff are friendly and nice. It feels like home.This is an inn I would like to visit again.The nearby Hakusan Shrine is also perfect for a morning walk.

[Worst accommodation ever]I originally planned to stay for one night, but I ended up extending my stay to six nights because I was so impressed by the delicious food and hot springs.Working remotely under the coronavirus,I have traveled all over the country and this is the worst accommodation I have ever stayed in. Due to my work, I have often traveled overseas and visited various places.I have never been to such a bad place to do business with customers.I had a good first impression, but the second half of my stay there felt so uncomfortable that I regretted choosing it.★It was disappointing①Response to your wifeAnyway, he's unfriendly, doesn't make eye contact, and doesn't even say hello.Did you feel unfriendly from the beginning and the neighboring home? Because I could hear loud yelling during the day, I did not speak to my wife.During my stay, there was a problem with the boiler, and the wife explained it to me. At that time, I kept complaining that I don't usually get multiple nights stay💦→ If it wasn't possible to stay multiple nights, I should have turned down my husband when I asked him about staying multiple nights, but I'm confused because he told me so after I paid. I would like you and your husband to discuss this in advance.②Convenience of the accommodationWhen I was using the sink in the morning, my wife asked me to leave because she had plans and would be leaving soon so I could clean it.Since it is a family-run business, I thought it would be better to accommodate the hostel and apologized, but after that I could see him on the premises for about 40 minutes, cleaning other rooms and walking the dog on the premises. hand.If they had 40 minutes, they could have just let me use it for 10 minutes, but they gave me a really unpleasant look.Normally, it states that you cannot use the bathroom after 9:30, but I have heard in advance that if you stay for consecutive nights, you can use it 24 hours a day, and for the wife's convenience, you will be treated like a servant.I didn't want to spoil our relationship since I still had three days left, so I tried to talk to her after she got home, but she didn't make eye contact or say hello even when we passed each other.The second half of the stay was really uncomfortable, as the guests didn't greet me and I was told later that I was staying multiple nights.③ Stability of service qualityIt's privately run, and considering the facilities and price, it's quite reasonable, but the following are also the reasons why I felt uncomfortable.Before confirming my stay, my husband was very kind and talked to me, but perhaps because of pressure from his wife, in the second half he gave off the same aura of wanting me not to talk to him, and in the second half I felt quite uncomfortable. Bad. When I checked out, I didn't see them off, they just asked me to go home and just left my key and said goodbye.Also, after the third day of breakfast, only cold rice was served, and the food at other customers' seats was not here, which made a huge difference.If you want me to go back, you should just give me a refund, but I really didn't realize that they were kicking customers like this until the second day.These are really the worst, so I give them a 1.Below are some good points from a fair perspective.★What was great① Equipment and locationIt is a place where the power of the land is strong, with a shrine on the back mountain and a Jizo statue at the entrance. At night, you can see a starry sky.In addition, it was built like a high-class inn and had an open-air bath, so you wouldn't expect it to be a guesthouse.You can spend hours admiring the beautiful Japanese garden.②CleaningAs I stayed there for several nights, I noticed that every corner had been cleaned.I used Karcher to wash the open-air bath every day, and I thought it was amazing how much time and effort it took.When I asked about the weeds in the backyard that can be seen from the indoor bath, I was told that they wanted people to enjoy their time here in a comfortable manner. I'm impressed by the effort and effort put into it.③MealI only had breakfast in the morning because I was staying for several consecutive nights, but the menu was different every morning, and the menu was ingenious.The service included panna cotta, banana pancakes, and coffee.I was impressed by the hospitality spirit!In the middle of the meal, he switched to eating bread, and I was very impressed with his consideration even though it took a lot of time to prepare a different menu from the others in the morning.It's so delicious that I think this breakfast alone will cost around 2000-2500 yen! The food was so delicious and my heart was so full. I was surprised that after the third day, the price was the same for cold rice.Even if the amount is lowHonestly, I don't think there are many hotels in Japan that have wives who not only don't greet guests, but also pressure them.If you have a good or bad spirit,This is ○'s inn.

I used it for a day trip.Overnight in a camperI found a place to enter early in the morning and can use it from 8 o'clock ✨ Private bath for 500 yen per person ♨️ I'm a couple, so it's good for my wallet ✨ Lots of Yunohana and the smell of sulfur makes me feel like I'm bathing in a hot spring ✨What’s interesting is that the shower heads are all different and you can use the one you like✨I want to go again.Note ⚠ We were in a banquet, so we managed to get there, but the parking lot is a bit narrow and steep, so I wonder if a big car will be able to get there? I thought so. There may be a parking lot somewhere else. We recommend that you contact us before going.
