It's wonderful that the company is managed and operated with a high sense of responsibility. During my consecutive stay, I was able to spread out my books and write on the table in the common room on the second floor, which was very helpful. I was told that it was easier to walk on the side across the bridge, so I walked comfortably. You can also use the washing machine in the 1st floor garage. There is no dryer, so dry outside.

Very good despite its low price!There was a parking lot and it was free.The owner couple are very nice, and although the building itself is old, it is well maintained and clean.Soundproofing is poor, so I would recommend some kind of countermeasure, but at this price it's understandable.There are no vending machines, but you can buy juice, tea, and alcohol at low prices.The refrigerator is also common.The baths are also for home use, but there are two of them, and they are clean and can be used 24 hours a day, with a circulatory system.The bus stop is nearby, and although it's a bit far from the station, it's rather quiet if you're driving or on the move.It overlooks the Katsuragawa River and comes with a free hot drink. It was great!

The husband and wife are very friendly and have a lively impression.Free parking was helpful.There are two baths like those in a normal home, and bathing is first-come, first-served without reservations.I wanted to take my time in the bath, but there was so much hair floating in the bathtub that I didn't feel like soaking.The guest room is small, but it's enough for just sleeping.I just came back from sightseeing and was feeling pretty good.The brightness in the room is dim even with all the lights on.There are no washrooms, toilets, or refrigerators in the guest rooms, but there are common areas in the hallway.There are no mirrors in the guest rooms or washrooms, so I thought it would be inconvenient for those who use a hair dryer or style their hair in the morning.Another thing that bothered me was the slippers.The insole was so loose that it was very difficult to walk on the stairs.

I had something to do and used this accommodation facility.I was welcomed by a friendly couple and I felt like I had returned home.There is no food available, but there are plenty of restaurants in the area, so it doesn't matter.The family bath was very pleasant.It was helpful to have wifi.It's a long walk from the station, so you'll probably need to take a bus or your own car.

The owner couple is very friendly and nice! There are two domestic baths that can be used at any time without restrictions. The room is simple. The wash basin (mirror) and toilet are shared. It would have been better if the toilet had a washlet! I'm really grateful that you can buy drinks (alcohol) for 100 yen or 200 yen.
