1. The first problem was that our flight was delayed and there were quite a lot of people waiting for immigration. One of our friends arrived first and asked for help because we might arrive later than the scheduled time, but was refused. So we had to sleep in the car at a rest stop on the side of the road. We waited until almost 6 am to rest for a while before coming out to shower.2. Since the booking, we asked to pay extra for one friend, just to sleep on the floor, but was refused. This is understandable and we followed the rules, so our friend had to sleep in the car.3. The towel, the female staff said that we could dry it on the railing of the balcony. Later, the owner of the accommodation came to take it away without informing us. He seemed very irritated.4. Our friend who had to sleep in the car came to use the bathroom. This was our fault because we did not ask for permission first. I accept the mistake and the owner of the accommodation fined us 1,000 yen. We gladly paid.However, his reaction was quite angry, loud and irritated. We all felt bad about this and thought that this might be a useful comment. With reason and logic, thank you.1.

I booked a room midway through my trip. Thanks to the kindness of the owner, I was able to stay in a private room with my wife. I'm grateful. The room, kitchen, washroom, etc. were very clean and I felt safe using it. There was only one shower, so it was difficult to decide when to take turns using it. Other than that, I had a very comfortable stay.

I have stayed at the guest house many times.This one is cheap and has a very Seiya feel.There is a shuttle service, but it is far from the station.The baths are small and shared by men and women, so if it's crowded, it can be difficult to enter and you have to wait.There is no air conditioning, so it may be difficult for those who are sensitive to heat.There was a fan.His wife was a very pleasant person.I noticed that the owner was a little impatient.A little quarrel between the two? An argument? Difference of opinion? I don't think it was very pleasant to see something like that.I think it's free as long as it's not in front of customers.However, I think this price is sufficient.

The host, who traveled the world as a backpacker, opened this inn in 2015 with the thought, ``I wish there was an inn like this.''The house is located in a residential area and has a peaked red roof that looks like a mountain hut.It can be seen from the prefectural road, but the entrance is on the side of the road.The first floor is the kitchen, common space, rooms for the owner and his wife, and a washroom/shower. The second floor is the guest room, with 11 beds in 3 rooms. From the common space, you can clearly see the mountains of the Northern Alps, such as Mt. Jonendake and Mt. Ariake.The toilets are on the 1st and 2nd floors. Only the first floor has a washlet.There is a bath, but guests can only use the shower.The kitchen is fully equipped with everything including a rice cooker and microwave.Since the owner and his wife are currently living in the house, you can also borrow seasonings and other items.Although I can do some serious cooking, I would like to avoid deep-frying.There is a shared refrigerator, and drinks and cup noodles are provided at almost cost price. Charges are based on a self-reporting system where you only pay for the amount you use. Instant coffee and tea were free, along with homemade pickled plums and tea sweets.The busy season is from the end of the rainy season until Silver Week in September, and mixed dormitories are the norm. At other times when it's open, you may be able to get a separate dormitory for men and women, or if you're lucky, a private room.Free transportation is available to the nearest station. They said that it would be unavoidable that they would be separated when they arrived, but that they would like to have all the arrangements as much as possible when they depart, so they would like to be told the time the day before.It's a normal house, so you'll be living in a small space with the owner and other guests. However, if you look at it from the opposite perspective, you can say it's safe.The owner will do a lot of things if you ask, but other than that he basically leaves things alone, so he doesn't feel pushy, which is nice.Personally, I enjoyed hearing about the owner's travels around the world.When I asked him, ``Was your husband a backpacker?'' he replied, ``He's still a backpacker.'' excuse me.On the bookshelf were books such as ``Midnight Express'' and Jinichi Kuramae.He's a hardcore backpacker.This time I went skiing in the spring, but I would like to visit again in another season.

I used it when I went to Nagano in a hurry. It was basically a shared room, but I happened to be the only one there, so I had a very comfortable stay. I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.

When the house where the owner lives is rented out, they are also in the house.. Facilities are insufficient. We were not allowed to use the kitchen. They are not very kind. They prepared a meal for us for the New Year. It was delicious. But we are very uncomfortable because of their work.
