At best, it feels like home, and at worst, the interaction is inappropriate.Many of the guests were deeply intoxicated and were making noise until around 10pm, making it difficult to sleep. Also, if you contact us by phone, you will not be able to get through, so don't expect any changes to be made mid-way.

I used it for an overnight stay (1 night and 2 meals) after descending from Kashimayari.overviewThe room is on the second floor and there is no running water in the room.Air conditioning is an afterthought.The bath, washroom, and toilet are all on the first floor, so you have to go downstairs each time.There is a shared refrigerator and microwave in the hallway on the second floor.There are 2 sets of bathtubs that can accommodate 3 people and 2 people, and each room can be reserved for private use.Private rentals are for one hour.It seems that the scheduled arrival time is determined in advance, so be sure to call if your scheduled arrival time changes.Some toilets have Western-style washlets.Meals will be served at a Japanese-style restaurant.At our time, it was 6pm and 7am, but depending on the situation, it seems to be off by about 30 minutes.Special mention 1It's so beautiful. It's a guest house, and every corner is kept very clean, which is hard to imagine considering the age of the building.It's neat in many ways. I can't find any dust on the windows or the side of the toilet.Special mention 2The food is delicious. There are no particularly elaborate or unusual materials, just ordinary items that are made by ourselves, but they are very careful.I have never seen such a beautiful kitchen.Special mention 3I draw the futon myself, but it's snug and the sheets are wrinkle-free and comfortable to sleep on.It wasn't fully booked even on Saturday, so I recommend it if you're looking for a guesthouse during the green season.

I made a reservation for this hotel online, but I didn't receive any reservation confirmation via email, and after a week, I got worried and called many times, but I wonder if they're busy, or maybe they're just ignoring calls from their cell phones. It didn't connect at all.More than a week later, when I thought I was finally able to get a call from my cell phone, I was immediately refused because they had a group reservation for that day, and then I made a reservation online and there was no confirmation email, and they kept calling me over and over again. I didn't even apologize for anything that happened, so I decided to never make a reservation for this hotel online again.It wasn't during the busy season when I called, and although I called several times around 2pm, there was no sign of an answer, so I got the feeling that individual customers outside of the busy season were ignored. I booked a new inn, and I was able to make a reservation smoothly and quickly, so I thought that if I were to use that inn in the future, I would use that inn because it was faster to respond and had a nicer atmosphere.

It is close to Lake Nakatsuna and served as a base for trips to Tateyama and Kurobe Dam. The parking lot is a little difficult to find, but it is large. There were two baths, and each room was reserved for private use. The bubble felt good. It was a hot day, but there was a window air conditioner. Please note that there is a charge for toothbrushes, etc. The toilet is shared on the first floor. There is also WiFi, but with my smartphone it was only stable near the lobby on the first floor. The food was delicious, and the inn was very welcoming and homely, with a somewhat nostalgic feel.
