The family running it is very sweet and friendly, very hard working. Everything was great, room was big and the bath was relaxing. Great attention to detail. The best part was the breakfast, many vegetables, rice, tofu, grilled fish, miso soup, egg, fruit and iogurt. Generous quantity and everything was so delicious.

The tempura, various small side dishes, grilled fish, etc. were all very delicious. I just want to go eat some food.Since it's a guesthouse, the only amenities in the room are toothbrushes.Reservations are required for the baths.There was some noise in the hallway, but it felt like I was staying at a relative's house in the countryside, which made me feel nostalgic.

The best of staying in a ryokan style Accommodation with a history stretching back 200 years. Get into the true ryokan atmosphere Accommodation in the bedroom We slept on the upper floor on the side of the road, a beautiful room with a good view, opening to see the road and the houses across the street. There is a living room separated from the bedroom. There is hot water, tea, and snacks to eat upon reception. The room is suitable for couples or small families. Dinner here is very special, eat until you're full, full of sweet and savory, including ice cream and fruit. Horse meat is the best in this province and we also tried it in the meal set. "Warning" Don't drink too much because going to the bathroom requires walking downstairs. However, if you give the full score, it won't be deducted at all. Another one of the impressions of Auntie JK. What a lovely place to stay. We didn't have breakfast because we had to check out early to catch the train. He came out and dropped us off in front of the accommodation and talked for a bit, telling him to hurry up or he wouldn't miss the train. She was ready to hand us rice balls to eat on the train. I was touched. I felt like a mother, very warm.
