Good access from the city center. This inn is recommended for those who want to spend a relaxing time.After driving about 500m along a narrow mountain road to the inn, I saw it. This is a quaint inn. When I was about to park my car in the parking lot, I found a small boar! It's probably a child, but being attacked by a boar would be the worst. I cautiously entered the inn.A quiet inn with clean rooms. It doesn't seem to be very popular, but that's the good thing about it! The key is to relax.Meals are served in the room. Everything is prepared by the hostess. It's voluminous and the rice is delicious! It is recommended because you can fully enjoy country cuisine that you would not normally be able to eat, such as carp sashimi. Also, this inn provides fresh wasabi. That fresh wasabi is delicious! There is no unpleasant spicy feeling with a refreshing feeling! Please try it. The recommended dish is the wasabi bowl, which is made by putting fresh wasabi on top of rice and pouring soy sauce over it. This is very satisfying!(*The husband of the inn is unfriendly, but I'm sure that's the kind of person he is, so please treat him with patience.)

It felt like a hot spring with a nice atmosphere, so I went there for a day trip to take a hot spring bath, but because two men had just taken a bath, I was told not to come back in an hour.There were some reviews that said the bath was spacious, but is it really enough for two people? Doesn't it feel like they are actively doing business?

This winter, I spent the night with a grandmother Maltese who was rapidly aging. I could see cherry blossoms in full bloom from the window in a quiet room. The conditions for choosing an inn where you can stay with your dog are 1. Meals in your room where you can eat slowly without worrying about your surroundings, and 2. Tatami mats and futons that even Maltese dogs with limited leg strength can rest assured of. It was the most satisfying ryokan I've ever been to, as the Keizanso has a toilet on the top, the hot spring is warm and you can take a long bath, and the food in the morning and evening was delicious. Please note that when buying beer from a vending machine, you cannot use 1,000 yen bills, so be sure to have plenty of coins. Next time, I would like to take care of you again when the green leaves appear. Thank you, Mr. Landlady, for creating memories with your dog.

It looks like this will be my first and last trip with my dad.Seeing the site of my grandmother's birthplace deep in the mountains of OtsukiThen I stayed here.Although it was many years ago, I remember this trip vividly.I wonder how my grandmother got from a place like this to Niigata 60 to 70 years ago.Meeting people is a strange thing.As a facility, it is rated 3 stars, but the route to get here had a lot of spring water flowing from the wasabi trellis, and we were able to see a very rare view.just,It was very unfortunate that there was a lot of garbage flowing into the mountain stream, probably due to the poor surrounding environment.It's not that this facility is bad, but the surrounding residents? Well, it's the fault of people who illegally dump.I want to bring my son with me someday.

I stayed here during the Obon holidays!👶Because I have a 0 year old child.Find an inn with room meals and a private bath.I found what I was looking for 🤗From the signboard to the innThe road is a bit narrow and is there really a place to stay?I was worried, but it was a very nice stay.Personally, I mean it in a good way,I liked the quick customer service.I was able to spend a relaxing time🤗Anyway, the cost performance is good!Reasonable price despite the Obon holidays.A hearty dinner. Two river fish too! !The watermelon 🍉 for dessert is also nice.♨️If the private bath is availableThere are two types that you can enter freely.I went in with my kids ♨️It's quiet with nothing aroundI had a peaceful time. butLocated on the national highway in about 5 minutes by carDrug stores and home centersThere was also a convenience store, soEven if you forget to buy somethingThere was nothing to worry about.It was a good memory.thank you very much!It is said that you will be able to see fireflies this time.I would like to stay there in July!*If there are any points to be careful of,There is no refrigerator in the room,There are only stairs inside the building. (Although it is a two-story building.)It was a wonderful stay!
