I stayed at a pension.In addition to relaxing at a coffee shop,I was able to cool off at the nearby river and enjoy cueing at the bar in the garden ◎All the food at the cafe is delicious, butI especially like banana milk, omuhayashi, and hamburger dog ^^The menu includes both Western food and Japanese food such as gyudon, so I think you can enjoy your meal without getting bored even during a long stay.The restaurant's atmosphere seemed to be loved by locals, with many regulars, families, and customers with their beloved dogs.In summer, you can go sightseeing at Gifu's Gujo Festival and nearby farms, so it's also recommended for couples and families!

My girlfriend and I used it together for Obon.Apparently it's crowded with skiers in the winter.Even in summer, there are ranches and tourist spots nearby, but there is a stream running through the hotel grounds, so I was able to enjoy it even within the grounds.The scenery was great, and I was able to have a BBQ while enjoying forest bathing, and I was able to spend a relaxing holiday.The starry sky is beautiful at nightThere were also fewer mosquitoes.At the attached coffee shop, the seats were filled with regulars and tourists from morning onwards, and we ate hash rice, hot dogs, and toast, all of which were made with special care, and everything we ate was delicious.In particular, the Neapolitan has a thin layer of egg on the iron plate and is the best when combined with the flavor of butter!The customer service seemed busy at times during the lunch period, but they brought water for my dog ​​and did everything they could to make sure we had a comfortable time.Highly recommended for those who want to spend a relaxing holiday.

Used for a snow trip to Takawase during New Year's Day.It takes less than 10 minutes by car to Takasu Snow Park and has the best access to the slopes.The family-run pension welcomes us with the owner and his wife who run a coffee shop during the day, and we were treated to ample hospitality.There was no refrigerator in the room, so I kept the alcohol I drank in the room by the window.Bathroom amenities are provided, but please remember to bring your own towels.Dinner was a course meal, which was a surprise lolOverall, I am very satisfied with the hospitality I received at this price.The warm customer service, typical of a family-run business, was also very pleasant.I want to use it again.

This is a recommended pension.The bath was large and a little deep, but it was a little hot.The washing area can accommodate two people.Dinner is served in small portions just like dinner, it's filling, and it's quite delicious.Above all, we work with a loving couple.
