The service staff are kind and courteous. The first floor is the reception area and restaurant. There are only 4 rooms on the second floor. There are hot spring pools on the first and second floors. The breakfast is very rich.

The inn that my late wife loved. The first time I visited was a year before he passed away, and I have visited him three times since then.The warm, family-run atmosphere is comfortable, especially the hot spring bath, which is quite hot, but once you get used to it, it feels comfortable and you feel refreshed after taking a bath.All of the meals were delicious, and I especially looked forward to the rare Obanazawa beef dish. The roast beef was exquisite.It's been 8 years since my wife passed away, and I no longer go to the inn, but I would love to stay with her again if I have the chance.This inn was a special place for my late wife, and its warmth and delicious food will remain in my heart forever.

Stayed in a Japanese and Western style room with my family in early December. The room was already warmed by the heater as soon as we entered the door, and the landlady was very kind. Since we only receive four groups of guests a day, and there is a hot spring house on the first and second floors, you can fully enjoy the fun of bathing without waiting (I really like the design of using a large wooden paddle to adjust the water temperature by yourself and allowing each group of guests to automatically decide the order of bathing) The cuisine is also amazing, each dish is as exquisite and beautiful as a work of art and uses local representative ingredients, making you feel full.It is a warm B&B that will make people want to come back, thank you :)
