A few years ago, it was a retreat for a major publishing company.The entrance is on the top floor and the dining room is on the same floor.We stayed on the lower floor and the first floor, which had a bath.There are karaoke and mahjong facilities, giving the impression that it is a company retreat.The bath was nice and the bathtub was filled with colorless and transparent hot spring water.Unfortunately, it is no longer the time for companies to maintain such facilities, so they have given up on them, but it is a blessing that another company is currently using them.

The rooms are super large and in a Japanese style. The owner is the friendliest man in all of Japan. Even if he doesn't speak English, he tries hard. He has a translator that makes communication very easy.

Very similar to a typical Japanese Ryokan! For now, the stay is really excellent! The owner is a real character, and is really kind and helpful for everything! Today he even drove us into town with the car to have dinner since the restaurant is near the hotel!! The bathrooms are really fantastic, there is a small hot spring tub (onsen) where you can relax, and the rooms are beautiful and spacious, each with its own private bathroom!! Recommended, and recommended again! :)
