I made a reservation in advance and only visited the cafe. I enjoyed tea time in a unique atmosphere with a kotatsu 😊There is also a counterI ordered coffee, and while it was being prepared, I was given a “Yes♡” and was given the coffee beans myself🌸The cheesecake was delicious ♡If it was only at the cafe, they would have accepted credit cards, but I thought it would be better to pay with cash 😊

It was a great experience for me and my family. The house is a typical Japanese house with Japanese garden and Japanese style of furniture and bedding. My kids love staying here. First time sleeping on tatame. It gave them a whole Japanese experience in which a hotel could not provide. It's extremely clean, organized and welcoming. The host is wonderful, very caring. We wish we could have stayed longer.

I stayed here for one night while touring solo. There were two living rooms and several other spaces where you could relax.The beds are clean, comfortable and comfortable.The owner was very attentive and made us feel comfortable. The facility only has a shower room, but there is a hot spring nearby so there is no problem.I would like to repeat it again.

I love hot springs and guesthouses, so I stayed at Guesthouse Seki-san's house for one night while traveling alone.I've put together a simple summary so you can pass the baton to your next one, so please use it as a reference for your trip.I think this is an inn that can be used for a variety of purposes, including those who love traveling, those who enjoy winter sports, those who want to relax, and those who stop by for errands. Recommended! !【summary】・Hospitable owner・Old folk house inn & cafe opening in April 2023・Although the building is historic, the interior and facilities are clean.・Delicious water provided for free・Comfortable bed・Laundry and shower available・Parking available (up to 2 cars)・Breakfast and lunch available for an additional fee・A place where locals can eat, have tea, and socialize・Friendly signboard dog in the back of the inn・There are delicious set meal restaurants, ramen shops, and bars nearby (no problems with the dining environment)・There are hot springs and footbaths nearby.There are so many things I want to write about, but please stay and check it out. I hope this is helpful.
