We arrived at Osaki Station around 8:00 PM (April 16th, 2024) and walked about 450 meters up the mountain along a curvy road. It was already dark when we arrived. So we couldn't see much of the scenery. And since we arrived at night Therefore there are no staff to provide service. We enter the house using the electronic key entry code. The landlord has provided detailed instructions in an email.When entering the house, you can change into slippers. There is a room key hanging on the wall. We can pick up the room key at the number provided in the email. Then register your stay. By showing the face on the CCTV camera with the passport and showing only the passport again.In the hall, there is an interesting small exhibition shows the history of this residence. The sharing area including dining table, kitchen corner, shared bathroom, and shared shower room. And one more guest room. Our groups stayed Upstairs, one 5-people room and a single room.In the Morning, we can make coffee. instant noodles and kitchen use The atmosphere is like being at home, very cute.

So-called "minpaku" that offers as many services as possible and keeps prices low.Enough for a seasoned traveler to stay overnight.

Parking lot is 30m below the inn.At the curved mirror in frontThere are several units available.Originally, in advance when exchanging messagesThey will tell you the model and number of the car.Check-in is lateThe owner could not be reached between 8:40 and 9 p.m.Eventually I received a polite call back.Everything went well and I ended up in a clean bed.I got it.Original hot spring towels and toothbrushes are provided.All plates and cutlery are availableFree coffee and teaBeer and shochu are available for a fee.Renovate stylishly and at low cost.There are comments and notes on how to use each inn.The software is an easy to use system.I think there are a variety of guests staying at the hotel.I don't have enough time from reservation to check-in.I came to the museum due to lack of communication.The reception at night is very difficult.I have events going on all day long.Make a reservation the day before and confirm the location.There was no check-in deadline.Messages with detailed instructionsFor now, without understanding it in my headTravel north for 2 hours to the hotel.Read it when you arriveStill without communicationMy car wouldn't start, so I thought about a lot of things.I was in front of the inn for about 20 minutes.It was unusual and I was quite nervous.Even after entering the room, the room key is locked.I was unable to open the box and lost time.Last month, Taiwan and Hong Kong, New York and India alsoAirbnb, Booking.com, Rakuten TravelI use various sitesOf course there is also an auto lock.I have had a lot of different experiences.I don't meet the owner at the inn unattended.This is the second time, following the owner who was a Kyoto University student in Kyoto a few years ago.It's easy once you know how to use it and get used to it.If you check in from noon to evening, it may be unmanned.If you can afford it, if you have timeNo need to worry about bothering othersI don't know what to do.Check-in late at nightIf you cannot contact the ownerThis is the only reception with manned and unmanned staff.I realized that my anxiety was different.

It is about 8 minutes' drive from Narukokyo Station. It is located on the mountainside with a parking space attached (reversing on the uphill slope and the entrance/parking area is narrow, and Japan is right-hand drive, which requires a little skill)It uses an electronic lock and there is a public space (sofa/large table/kitchen/shared bathroom) on the first floor. It is stated that because it used to be a candy store, there are two buckets of snacks and candies for tourists to use. It is very cute.This time I stayed in a quadruple room on the second floor. Each bed was "a double bed" and there was a refrigerator and a hammock in the room! ! It is very comfortable to live in; the building itself is mainly made of wood, and you will smell the faint scent of wood as soon as you enter the door, which is very comfortable and relaxing.I didn’t meet the boss himself this time. The boss will clearly guide you on how to enter and get the keys, explain to you all the things we can use and precautions, and will also give you various travel suggestions (attractions, restaurants, hot springs, etc.) etc.), very practicalThe local public bathhouse (Taki-no-Yu) is a five-minute walk from the hotel. Remember to bring the toiletry set prepared on the washing machine. After bathing, you will pass by the hot spring shrine. There is a pavilion and some chairs there, and there is almost no light pollution. , you can enjoy the beautiful starry sky (and breathable by the way), very comfortableThe hotel does not come with breakfast. The boss will give you several breakfast spots and options. Overall, it has a high CP value and is a good choice for leisurely travel.

We stayed in 10/2023 in a cozy twin bed room. It offers free and delicious tea, coffee and snacks. Friendly host always contacting us to suggest restaurants and Onsen. Very good, I recommend it!

I didn't stay at a guest house because they don't have private rooms, but this one was a comfortable single room.The staff will send you a message recommending eating out and taking a bath at the public bathhouse, Taki no Yu. The kitchen had water, coffee, and snacks, so there was no inconvenience.It was clean as it had only recently opened.

I used it on 3 bikes the other day. Three bikes can fit under the eaves, and since it has a roof, you can load and unload your belongings without getting wet even in the rain. The room and common spaces were spacious, clean, and comfortable. There are no convenience stores or shops nearby, but I was happy that the owner had provided free mineral water and alcoholic drinks (for a fee) in the refrigerator. The popular public bathhouse is also within walking distance. There aren't many restaurants where you can eat at night, but the owner introduced us to some recommended restaurants, so we were able to enjoy delicious drinks and food without being overwhelmed. I would like to use it again when I go to Naruko.

The! It's a guest houseIs it all private rooms rather than dormitory rooms?I stayed with a friend with my two 2 year old children.Apparently it will open in May of this year, but there is no information available and I was only able to make reservations through booking.com.Does it have HP? I looked for it but couldn't find it, and I didn't know where it was, but I decided to stay in Naruko last minute, so I made a reservation.We were asked to send in our ID in advance and check in and out was unattended. The key to the front door was also a pass type, and the room key was in the key box at the front door.So I didn't meet the owner, but I thought it was smart and nice.There is one toilet for men and one for men, and one bath. I went to the hot springs so I haven't used it yet. The kitchen was stocked with almost everything, and we were able to purchase drinks.There is one drum type washing machine. You could also use detergent for free. I was grateful for the opportunity to use it, but it took about two hours for it to completely dry, so I felt sorry if someone else wanted to use it.Other than the few parking spaces (only one car available if reserved in advance) and the location on the top of a hill, I thought it might be difficult to walk, but everything else about this inn was great!Many restaurants in Naruko Onsen itself are open from morning, so I didn't have any trouble finding breakfast.
