I stayed in a Japanese style room. It's well kept and doesn't feel like a cheap hotel.The cost performance is outstanding, including the fact that you can take a free bath in Agematsuya's wonderful hot springs!There are only two rooms, so security is safe, but the walls are thin, so you may be a little worried depending on the manners of your neighbors.

"Smooth & Living" is an unusual time-based/subscription-based cafe where every seat is comfortable and there is also a Chihiro Koshi booth.And the smoothie was so delicious

Smoothie? Looks like vegetable juice. It's not cold. You can sit on the bench outside and take a break, but there is an additional charge. I think the smoothie price of 660 yen is a bit high.
