I've used it twice. We plan to continue using it in the future.The first time was when I went on a solo bicycle trip when I was in college, and the second time was when I took my mother on a trip to Aomori after becoming a working adult.It's a really nice inn. I can't write it all here. I'd like to share some of it with you, so I'll paste the text I posted on my Instagram a few years ago below. 🙇🏻♂️---5 years ago, I came here by bike with alone from Tokyo to Aomori. It was 1000km and took 7 days..This weekends, I came here by airplane and car with mom from Osaka to Aomori. It was 1500km and took 7 hours..5 years ago, I said to a couple who saved my life during the bike-travel, "I will be back for returning the favor.".This time I visited them and stayed there again.They still remember me. They were totally surprised.It was the best night in this year..There was one inn in Sai Village near the northernmost tip of Honshu on the Shimokita Peninsula..Five years ago, when I was 19 years old, I set out on my bicycle without a tent or rain gear.It rained 80% of the time during the trip, so I and my bag were always soaking wet.Nebuta and Sendai Tanabata were over, the enthusiasm of the summer was gone, and Tohoku was deserted in preparation for the coming harsh winter, which seemed to reflect my own state of mind at the time.Eventually, I got a flat tire just before the northernmost point. I didn't even know how to fix a puncture. There were no stores that sold sports cars at the far end, so I pushed my way there.Even when we arrived there, we couldn't smile at what was supposed to be the big event of the trip, and we started heading south, wanting to get away from the rugged coastline and the strong winds of the Tsugaru Strait..Today, I stopped at Sai Village to finish around here.The rainstorm was so bad that sightseeing boats were suspended, so I gave up on camping.After walking around Nakamura, I arrived at Minshuku Miyano..After taking a shower, I was staring at my rain-soaked clothes in my room.It was supposed to be a night without meals, but the meal was ready. I had it in the morning and evening.Shimokita's seafood is more than enough to fill the stomach of those who came north without eating Miyagi's beef tongue or Iwate's wanko soba for basic convenience store meals.The next morning, I tried to pay the official price, but it was not received.Takase only said that he would definitely come back again with friends or family..There are many mountain passes from Sai to Mutsu, and my father told me that it would not be possible in such bad weather and with a flat tire, so he gave me a ride in a light truck to the city of Mutsu.I wanted to complete the entire trip on my bike, but I was so frustrated..I only stayed at an inn twice during my trip to Tohoku: here and on the last night of my trip.And this time, it's about time for me to return the money I've invested so far, and with my mother.What made me most happy was that the landlady remembered me.The moment I talked about it, I remembered so many things and had a hard time holding back the tears that overflowed.There are quite a few people who stay here while touring, and some people joke that they're paying for their promotions, but I was surprised that no one actually came.Now that I'm old enough to drink alcohol, it was a great night, with seasonal Kitamurasaki sea urchin, a local specialty of Sai Village, as snacks, and local sake from Aomori.When you wake up and go outside, you'll be greeted by a starry sky and a fantastic scenery..After Tohoku, I ran in Hokkaido, Western Japan, Eastern Europe, and Taiwan, but to be honest, I was already used to traveling, just because the places I ran were different. It may have been on this first trip to Tohoku that I was able to experience, feel, and absorb the most variety of things..Let's work hard so that we can take them to the Goto Islands or the Noto Peninsula next year..#20190631
