Service is warm and attentiveI'm very proud of living in a log house. There is a kitchen but I haven't used it. However, it's quite a distance from the hotel. If it rains, I'll pk it.Dinner service is good, self-service tempura is a lot of funBreakfast is delicious. It would be better if the portion was bigger.A private onsen session (50min) is included, but it’s so dark at night

The view and starry sky are good and the room is clean.It was a nice and relaxing hot spring inn.There is one thing that I am quite dissatisfied with.Because there are too few spaces for private baths.If you don't check in early, you won't be able to enter slowly.If you arrive slowly, you won't be able to use it.By the time of check-in, the after-meal slot was already full.The only slot available is the one where the time has passed.I'm busy using it before I can take a breather.It was supposed to be a contract for private use for 50 minutes.Only available for 30 minutes*And I was annoyed that customers who couldn't get in were secretly let in.Other things that were a little disappointingAlso, the walls are thin and you can hear the snoring from the next room.Half the room was occupied by shoes, making it difficult to move around.Hand washing is sensor-based and difficult to use.Is that what it's like?
