I used it for a section hike on the Michinoku Shiokaze Trail.The owner, Yusuke, is very warm.I was a good listener and ended up talking for about 3 hours.Thanks to you, I forgot to take a photo and only have one (heh)There is also a hiker's plan and the price is reasonable.I would like to stop by again when walking the Rifu Trail.

You can see the starry sky at night and the sunrise and port in the morning.It was a guest house with a great view!The correspondence was very good and I also interacted with other guests.It was fun talking about various things!The water area, beds, etc. are also clean.Everyone followed the rules so I was able to sleep in peace ^^I learned about the nearby shops, markets, and shrines (power spots), and I fell in love with Shiogama♪I would like to come again as a solo traveler!

There was space available on the day of my stay, so I made a reservation using the email form at 11am.However, since there was no news, I called to confirm after 6pm and was told that the reception had already closed and I could not stay the night.If you are unable to stay even though you have made a reservation in the morning, I think it is good business etiquette to call rather than just email.(*It was said that an email was sent to that effect, but I did not receive a call on Gmail.)1 star for dealing with hosts who don't have social common sense.

Anyway, the owner was a wonderful person!They were very responsive from the time we made the reservation, and even after we arrived at the inn, they introduced us to recommended restaurants and created an environment where all the guests could have fun talking ^^The room and water area are very clean.You can also rent towels (from 150 yen) and use the washing machine and dryer!I would love to stay here again♪
