Sawara Merchant Town Hotel NIPPONIA GEISHO

The atmosphere is great!

A cafe converted from an old house. It is run by a hotel. The sweet potato Mont Brand link set costs 1,800 yen, and the shaved ice uses amazake and seems to be particular about the ice, so it costs 1,000 yen for a decent taste.It's quite tasty, but the prices are a little high compared to Sawara.

Although it's a bit pricey, it's an inn that's a renovated old folk house that you can rent out.❗You can stay in not just one house, but also several other renovated old folk houses nearby❗5~ 6 houses?

||① The garden is large. The dog I brought with me (a small dog) was running around happily. However, it might be a little small for medium to large dogs. …

This was my first stay in NIPPONIA, and I love staying in inns that are renovated old houses.Take this opportunity. . . That's what I thought when I asked,Both the room and the service were far below expectations.I strongly decided to stop going to NIPPONIA affiliates in the future.I stayed in the SEIGAKU building.The rooms, which were renovated from warehouses, are spacious and have high ceilings.There are only two small windows at the top and no view at all.There is also a verandah, but it is surrounded by a wall and eaves, so you can't see outside at all.It feels very confining.There is a space on the verandah that can be called a garden.Only weeds are growing.So far, I have stayed at about 5 inns that are renovated old houses and storehouses.I get the impression that renovations cost less than any other inn.There is WiFi, butNo TV, no Bluetooth speakers,It's depressing to be in a room where you can't see what's going on outside.The refrigerator was small, similar to those found in business hotels.There's no freezer, soI think it's inconvenient for people who need ice.Of course, there is no service that delivers ice at night.The amenities were also nothing special.Even though it's a holiday price, it's almost 90,000 yen per night including breakfast.The inns I stayed in previously, which were renovated old houses, all had kitchens,Even if you have a washing machine or a well-maintained garden,I can't afford to pay such a high price.(Even in Kyoto)I wonder where the value was.Also, the service was horrible.Although the price is more than that of a luxury hotel, the service is less than that of a business hotel.The staff seemed to be doing their best to get the job done, perhaps because they were operating with a minimum number of staff.The buses introduced on the website may be suspended,If you ask about access to the hotel before staying,I was guided to a bus that was canceled,When I asked about restaurants in the area, I was introduced to several restaurants that were closed.After arriving at the hotel, I made eye contact with the reception staff.They confirmed that I had the luggage, but they pretended not to know.Even though they took the trouble to sit across from me and give me a long explanation about the accommodation,There is also no welcome drink provided.Check-in is at 15:00, and even if the cleaning is finished, you will not be guided.That's the rule, he explained.For breakfast, choose to start at 7:30 or 8:30.He forgets the time and stays at his leisure (that's why there is no clock or TV in the room).Despite the concept, the breakfast time is set exactly.We also used the cafe in the GEISHO building.Shaved ice alone costs 1000 yen and coffee costs 800 yen.I was able to relax while looking at the cityscape and tourists.I was surprised when I used the restroom,It made me wonder if it hadn't been cleaned for at least three days.(I can't go into details, but I noticed some dust that seemed to have accumulated for several days)Bad things seem to continue,Encountering go◯◯ in your room,The fish for breakfast on the second day was undercooked, which was disappointing. . .

This was my first stay in NIPPONIA, and since I love staying in inns that are renovated old houses, I took this as an opportunity. . . …

A wonderful hotel that blends in with the townscape of Sawara.

This hotel is a scattered type hotel, so I listened to the explanation at the front building, and they carefully explained the parking lot, restaurant, how to use the rooms, things to be careful of, etc.You can enjoy the history and the present in the room, there is no TV or clock...It was nice to be able to enjoy the time!

The food was unique and I enjoyed it. Although my pet cannot stay here, this is a hotel I would like to stay at if I had a dog.

They explained the building where we would be staying using a map, but they left the map for the staff and explained it upside down to us, so I didn't feel like there was any service given the price of the room, and I was left on my own. It may be difficult for people who have a lot of luggage to carry it by themselves.
