A guesthouse with its own hot spring. The bath is quite large, so you can comfortably bathe in it. Although the guesthouse is quite old, it is kept clean, so I have no complaints about the facilities or the naan bread.When I had made a reservation before the nationwide travel support program started, someone called me and said, ``Even if it's a hassle, it would be better to cancel the reservation, reschedule it, and go through the support process for Castella.'' I was grateful that my accommodation costs were cheaper and I received shopping coupons.I was disappointed that the food I wanted to be served hot was cold, but overall it was a good stay.

Hot springs can be used 24 hours a day. The men's bath is larger than I expected and can accommodate about 10 people. The building is old and has many stairs, so it can be difficult for elderly people. This time's room was a 10 tatami Japanese-style room with a unit bath and a toilet with a washlet. There is no problem with the effectiveness of the air conditioner. However, the air inside the hotel was the same as outside, so I couldn't stop sweating when I checked in. There were plastic bottles in the room, but no vending machines. There are no stores nearby, so it's better to prepare in advance before checking in. This time I stayed without meals, but I was very satisfied with the hot springs. However, I would like to see a fan placed in the changing room.

Unexpectedly very satisfying, the quality of the hot springs is the best, and I'm also very satisfied with the fact that it's open 24 hours a day and makes my skin smooth.The room is also very clean.The disappointing part about the unit bathAre the walls thin?Located a little further back from the sea and on a slightly higher ground, rooms on the third floor have a good view.Are communal toilets unisex? I own twoIf you could separate the gendersI was so satisfied with the food that I felt guilty because I couldn't finish it all.Best cost performanceThank you for your next visit.

I stayed one night with my mother on the 2018 Autumn Equinox.mealThere was more than I could eat.Nameroto also grilled something that is not on the menu.I was treated very kindly. It was delicious.bathThis is a brown hot spring that is common in Chiba. Guests are allowed to enter 24 hours a day.roomIt was clean and I slept comfortably.postscriptI stayed on 20220226.Whenever I go to pick flowers in MinamibosoThis is my regular lodging. This time it's the Ise lobster course.I'm full of sashimi and grilled demon shells.The next morning, I made soup stock with the shells of the spiny lobster from last night.Miso soup is delicious. Also includes new seaweed.It takes about 5 minutes to the beach of Setohama.This time there were no clouds on the horizon and I could see Canopus. It's mostly dark in this area, so you can see the stars clearly, and what's surprising is that you can see the Orion Nebula with 20x binoculars.I could even see the nebula, and the dark area is perfect for stargazing.

I decided to go out for a three-day weekend without any particular purpose, so I looked for a reasonable accommodation on Jalan and found this place.There were various opinions in the reviews, so I was able to spend my time within my expectations.The room was a bit spacious and I could see the ocean in the distance, so I could see the moon rising and the moonlight reflected on the ocean, which was wonderful.The bath was a hot spring bath with slightly black, thick water that was very moist. I was a little disappointed that it was a rinse-in shampoo. It was hard to dry my hair because it was squishy...The slightly larger bath and the larger bath will be switched depending on the men's and women's time periods.Dinner was a platter plan, so it looked luxurious with a variety of sashimi, but unfortunately some of the dishes were cold.In the morning, I had eggs to bake myself, and for some reason I also had a dumpling dessert in the morning, so I was full.The taste was just delicious.The inn was run by family members, so it had a homely atmosphere, and even though it was busy, I could feel the warmth.The accommodation is also used for training camps, so if you think about it that way, I think it's better than normal.

I booked this inn because I wanted to have a relaxing drink with my motorcycle friends for the first time in a while. The main point was that the hot springs were open 24 hours a day, but when I actually visited, I was satisfied with everything: the cleanliness of the rooms, the quality and quantity of the food, and the pleasant customer service that wasn't just a gimmick. I would like to visit with more friends next time. We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you again for your understanding.

There were 3 people staying in the 10 tatami room, and there was plenty of space. The refrigerator is empty and the space is a bit small, but you can use it freely. …

There were three of us, but the room was large and had a view of the ocean. It was a pity that the weather was bad, but I think the scenery would have been very nice if it had been sunny. …

I've known about this place for a while, but this was my first time staying there. The hot springs around here are said to be black hot springs, just like Tokyo Onsen, although I don't know the efficacy, but this hot spring feels like a thin black hot spring. I didn't have an aha moment when I entered the bath, but I did notice some dirt or something in the hot water. Even though it's free? The food was delicious. However, I was bothered that the time was 30 minutes earlier than the requested time! What's the rationale for saying it was done quickly? However, what was most disappointing was that I immediately left after paying, thank you very much! It's impossible not to be able to say that! It is essential for any customer to see them off until the end. In other words, it is important as a customer business that you cannot be grateful when someone asks you to do something.

It feels like a family-run inn with an old-fashioned inn, and the bathtub is large for an inn of this size, and the hot water tank is quite large, just the way I like it, but I'm disappointed.Even though it's not the peak season, it's a relaxing course for one person. 14,000 yen may be a bit expensive for the meal, and the main dishes are sashimi of porgies with pewter-like appearance, as if grilled with salt on the last Sunday of August after the busy season, and sashimi of 150g of dried spiny lobster. At an inn in a town in the summer, even though the catch was fresh, the porgies had to be iced, so I was a little nervous because they had a sea-smelling taste and were served with white eyes.Also, even though I was called out to them and got to the table right away, the only thing that was hot was the soup. too? It's a shame because it was an inn that I liked.
