In the bathroom attached to the room, the mirror was covered in white chalk stains. There was red mold at the base of the faucet. At first glance, you can see that they haven't been cleaning properly. Dust accumulates in the corner of the toilet. I didn't have high expectations because it was cheap, but I'm disappointed.Dinner was disappointing. Breakfast was average compared to dinner.

It's a very traditional Japanese hot spring hotel. The hotel staff are very helpful. When the car arrives at the door, they immediately help carry the luggage and push the luggage to the room. Because this hotel is surrounded by woods and bamboo forests, if you don’t attend the hotel’s dinner, you will have nothing to eat, so it is more suitable for self-driving tourists.

I stayed in a Western-style room with an open-air bath.・Was the toilet not cleaned?I couldn't bear to say it was clean, so I cleaned it myself.I put the provided hand soap in the sink on toilet paper and wiped it clean, so I think it just wasn't cleaned.・The inside of the building is full of spider webs.It can't be helped that it's old, but hasn't it been cleaned as well? That was my impression.Walking around the building was very stressful.・I requested meals with or without living creatures.There was no explanation when I arrived at my seat, so I sat down without thinking anything.During the meal, I noticed this and changed seats.I shudder to think if I had asked for allergies.I wanted at least some guidance.・When I ordered beer, it came out at room temperature.・The order of meals is messed up.Apparently they had forgotten to bring soup and pickles with the rice, so only the pickles and soup came out at the end.A different staff member than the one in charge of serving the food came and apologized, but I ate it without rice. I have stayed at many hot spring inns, but this was my first experience.・There were several hairs in the food.(I was so taken aback by what was written above that I didn't even feel like telling it.)Anyway, I'm full of disbeliefI never thought I would feel so disappointed.Even my usually gentle companion was extremely angry.

Stayed in a special room with an indoor bath. The indoor bath felt good. It felt like luxury. All the staff are kind. Even though he was young, he seemed attentive and my elderly parents were satisfied.
