Nice location, very friendly owners in a beautiful and quiet area of this part of Hokkaido. Great collection of Japanese books (manga and children books). The cozy onsen has a large window with a view into the forest.

I stayed as a guest in mid-September. I came home late from the starry sky tour, but I was grateful that they took care of me when I took a bath. The view from the room was spectacular, and the starry sky at midnight was also amazing. The inside of the facility is incredibly clean and I can't believe there are pets here. I developed allergic rhinitis at another hotel in Biei, but here the air was clean and I felt comfortable without any problems. Baths and toilets are shared, but this is not a problem as there are few guests. The bathroom in particular has a large window and a feeling of openness, which is nice. Moreover, it was so clean that I couldn't believe it was shared. My family and I had the opportunity to interact with a dog for the first time, and although we were nervous, it was a very enjoyable experience. I really sympathized with the personality of the owner and his wife and the concept of the inn, and I was able to spend a valuable time there. It's an inn that is hard to leave, and my entire family would like to come back if we have the chance.Thank you very much to the owner and his wife, Noah and Maru.

Vacation ❘ Family tripMy wife found this pension on the website and made a reservation for a 3-day holiday trip. I remember seeing a building while driving and being curious about it quite a while ago.Satisfied with the atmosphere and comfort.The bathtub was spacious and relaxing, and there was mint floating in the bathtub, which smelled nice.Early in the morning, I strolled around the area by myself while listening to my favorite music. A red fox was watching me from afar, and before I knew it, it had disappeared into a corn field.Back at the pension, I select a few books from the bookshelf that interest me while making coffee until breakfast time. Among them, the book ``Taisetsukoto'' was very impressive. ``You are you...you may have done everything to become a big man...but the most important thing for you is that you are you.'' It struck a chord in my heart.Thanks to my wife for finding this pension. I was able to spend time realizing various things about myself.However, I am grateful to the owner couple for providing such a wonderful space and time.I found my favorite inn.

I visited here for one night for a pre-wedding shoot during the lavender season.This cute pension is located in a peaceful place surrounded by corn fields and rich in nature☺️There were a lot of picture books in the room, which is the owner's hobby, and the accessories were very cute and I felt the attention to detail.There was a husky and a Shiba Inu named Noah and Maru at the pension. I think animal lovers will be very relieved (^^)He's a very friendly, nice boy and cute!Cleaning is done with great attention to detail,It feels clean! The room has a bed, but there is also a tatami area, so we were able to spend a relaxing time while looking at the outside scenery.There is no air conditioner installed, but the summer in Hokkaido is cool and it was late July, so there was no problem. (What about people who are sensitive to heat? 😅)The food was delicious and I will come back to Biei again.I would like to disturb you😊

My husband and I stayed here for one night during a 3-day trip to Hokkaido in the summer. It's been a while since I've been back since I've stayed here several times under the previous owner's Sasarado. The view of the hills seen from the window remains unchanged, like a picture postcard, and is always soothing. However, it is unfortunate that the owner and store name have changed, and there has been a significant decline in the quality of both the software (customer service) and hardware (sense of production, food, guest rooms, and scenery). The inn was always at the top of its category, so it's harsh to compare.)Even if you take the fact that the concept is completely different, I thought it would be impossible for people who know Sasarado.

I used it on a family trip two summers ago. ||Although it's a personal matter, at the time, I was busy with work and couldn't get a good night's sleep due to pressure. …

It is located in an idyllic location with famous places nearby. ||It's pitch black at night. So if the weather is nice, I think the stars will be beautiful. ||Driving at night was really scary. …
