*English followsThe other day, two people (a man and a woman in their 20s) stayed in private room A. The room was very clean and the bed was soft and comfortable. The property, which was renovated by volunteers, has a stylish and handmade feel that will make you feel like you've arrived at a special inn.In addition to the guest rooms, the inn also had a co-working space (Creative Park) and a minibar at the entrance, so there were plenty of things to see and do.In fact, I myself enjoyed interacting with the staff and other customers at such a place.It also seems that overseas customers often come and go, so it might be perfect for casual international exchange. I also had the opportunity to chat with a student from Hong Kong over a beer.The price is reasonable, at or below the same level as a business hotel, and it is also very convenient as it is a 5 minute walk from Marugame Station. So even if you are traveling alone, I have a feeling that it will meet the various needs of family, friends, and lovers!Above all, the owner and staff will greet you kindly, so you have no choice but to use it just for that!/The kind staffs can communicate in English and are used to welcome foreign guests . So you may ask them your worries and questions without any hesitations.And they and their facility give you a lot of irreplaceable opportunities. For example making new friends, local and traditional tour etc. Actually I also enjoyed talking with the nice guy from Hongkong. Such scenes must be your special memories in Japan, which are not provided in other hostels and accomodations.And henro pilgrims are also wecomed here.

Found this while walking around drinking in the Marugame station area. It seems to be a recently opened private lodging and working space/cafe bar.When I heard the story, it turned out to be about a mysterious real estate agent in front of the station, ``Baba Shoji''! Come to think of it, I was thinking that there are a lot of young people working at Baba Shoji. It seems like they are trying to revitalize the area, and I hope they do their best. I had a drink to show my support.All drinks are served in paper cups. It's hygienic and good. Next time, I would like to use the working space when I have time.

I feel like I made the right choice in choosing this inn! !I stayed without making any plans for the next day, but they introduced me to a variety of things, from stylish restaurants where I could relax to places where I could enjoy some active activities, and I was able to learn a lot about the great things about Marugame! Also, the udon restaurant you told me about was really delicious!I will stay again! !

I had the best evening thanks to the Korean review that brought me here.Last night, I spent the night not knowing how much time had passed as I was conversing with not only the locals who came here to drink beer and coffee, but also the staff and the owner of this guest house.What was most interesting among them was their passion.Those are the processes by which this accommodation was created, and those who want to hear about this should come to this accommodation and talk to the owner!!It's still a guest house, but it has a good mattress for comfortable rest, a comfortable shower, the best sofa, and cold beer and highballs to comfort you when you're tired!+ To the owner and staff, I had the best day thanks to you. I hope to see you again. I will cheer for Marugame City to become active again thanks to the guesthouse you are doing!!ありがとうございます。細谷柊太, 細谷柊太 😁😁

The hottest guesthouse in Marugame right now that's open in town!You can freely enter and exit the cafe and coworking space, and you can also talk to local people and ask them about delicious local restaurants.Since it has just opened, the rooms are easy to use and the interesting services are expected to increase rapidly, so I will stay there next time I go to Marugame!
