こころ宿NAGOMI(なごみ)

2024.06.14Taiwanese 🇹🇼CRF goes around Japan and conquers this place!This is the inn where I stayed when I was traveling around Japan.A renovated inn that was once an elementary school was quite an experience.A public bath, a souvenir corner, a spacious and clean room, and a very reasonable price⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.Although the location is a bit rich in nature, there is a convenience store about 15 minutes away by bike or car, so there is no particular inconvenience.

You can also stay in cottages or tents (glamping), but I stayed in a regular Japanese-Western style room.The room was said to be a renovated elementary school, but it was not much different from a normal inn, with 3 beds and a space to relax on tatami mats.We had a BBQ dinner in the evening, and it was quite fun and the kids were satisfied.Breakfast was simple bread, salad, and soup.There was a space where you could use hand-held fireworks, and we enjoyed the fireworks there.Apparently it's okay to leave fireworks trash behind, so it was easy to clean up.The bath is small. It's about the size of a large public bath in a business hotel (2 or 3 meters square).It seems like you can rent a private bath for an additional fee, so you might want to try it out.During the day we also went to the pool outside. I thought it was a 25 meter pool, but it was a 5 meter pool.The price was about 800 yen (towel included) for guests. (It seems a little expensive.)Customer service was good.At the reception desk, I saw a man wearing a casual T-shirt and shorts, so I thought it would be okay, but all the employees made me feel welcome.I wasn't completely satisfied, but I did enjoy it to some extent.Also, I think the accommodation fee is cheap, so I gave it a 4 star.

Old cottages are quite dangerous for people with weak bronchial tubes or house dust allergies.I went there with my dog ​​for two nights during Golden Week.The room environment was so bad that I had to cancel one night, and my schedule for Golden Week was almost completely cancelled...Even though I had come all the way to Tochigi, I had to return home in the morning.Details below.The facilities other than the room were sufficient as I understood the concept of experiencing a Showa school. You can also easily rent a washing machine, which was great for my family who wanted to lighten their luggage even for just two nights.but.Unfortunately, the room was at a dangerous level.My family doesn't want to stay in that old cottage even if they say they'll give us 1 million yen in the future. (The information is about the old folk house, not the annex)My first impression when I unlocked the padlock and entered the room was, ``The way the dust is flying is unusual!'' ! "is.It can't be helped because it's an old private house, but there are no screens on any of the windows, so I can't open the windows to ventilate, considering that the front lights that come in in the evening attract insects.I don't think there is regular ventilation.When I went up to the loft, I saw a large amount of futons piled up in the dust, and when I patted them down, a huge bulge appeared...Considering this was a Showa era experience, this was just within the acceptable range, but for people who hate insects, it's a completely scary experience, so you should stay with that in mind.The following is the final decision to cancel.First of all, to date, no one in my family has asthma. I have a strong respiratory system.I left my luggage in the room and went to eat right away, but at that point something strange happened to my eldest son.My eyes were itchy and I was having a hard time breathing.I was in the room for a short time to put my things and organize them, so maybe the dust got into my eyes? Don't rub it. At that point, I was still taking it lightly and had my family wash their eyes thoroughly in the bathroom.After the kids were in bed, I was planning the next day's plans with my husband, and my eldest son's breathing became rough and he started coughing, and I couldn't even keep his eyes open. Gradually, my husband started to feel uncomfortable, and so did I.My eldest son was in such pain that he started crying and said, ``I want to go home right now.'' At that point, it was around 10 p.m., and I was seriously debating whether or not I should go back to Tokyo. Usually when I go on a trip, I think, ``I want to stay here forever!'' My eldest son keeps saying, 'I want to go home.'I had driven to Tochigi early that morning, and thinking it would be dangerous to return now, I made my eldest son wear a mask and called the front desk, hoping they could at least use an air purifier.We managed to find one, so we set up a high-power (noisy 😭) air purifier in the middle of everyone's futons and forced ourselves to sleep.When I woke up in the morning, my whole body and respiratory system felt dusty.In the evening, I came to the conclusion that I couldn't stay two nights, and when I contacted the front desk, they told me that they would refund the first night's stay without a cancellation fee, so I carried my luggage for the two nights back to my car and headed home...Although I received a refund for one of the two nights, I was really sad because more than half of my Golden Week plans, which I had been looking forward to, were thrown out of order.I think it's probably only the old folk houses that are in poor condition. It's a DIY house that was probably a really run-down old house in the middle of a hill that doesn't get much sunlight, and the only way to ventilate it is with a small ventilation fan, which also traps mold and dust.The exhibition space, which used to be an elementary school, seemed to be kept clean and well-maintained by the staff, and when I was having trouble with the western sun shining in the restaurant, the staff went out of their way to move umbrellas to block the sun. I did.The staff were all friendly and nice, so I can't help but feel sorry for the misery of the old cottage.If you think about the health of the people staying there, I think they should at least seal off that old cottage, clean it, install a screen door, and create a way to ventilate it.There was so much mold and dust floating around, and there was so much dust on the bedding that I didn't know what to do...Other than the room, it was fun with a Showa concept, so please take this review into consideration when choosing a room in an old private house.This is the opinion of my family, who are not that particular about cleanliness.Oh, and the room is really dark.Even so, I was really sad that my plans for Golden Week, when my husband was the only one with almost no time off, were disrupted.

It was a great facility where you could also stay with your dog. I like old folk houses, so I was glad I was able to stay there. There's no Wi-Fi, but it's spacious and feels like you're back in the Showa era, so you can use it luxuriously. It was a slow process, and the explanations were thorough and easy to understand. thank you very much.

I used it for the first timeThe room is spacious and clean, and the bathroom is nice.I think this price is goodUnfortunately, there is no convenience store nearby.

I was very happy to be able to stay in a beautiful inn for a reasonable price.The bath was a little small, being 3 to 4 times the size of the house, but perhaps because there were only a few rooms where guests could stay, I took my time in the bath as there weren't many guests. Apparently there is also a private bath available.There were two adults and two elementary school students, but they were treated the same way as adults. Everyone can sleep in their own beds and have the same breakfast. Only the price has become cheaper.Speaking of my greed, I thought that if I could choose between Japanese and Western breakfast options, I would be able to accommodate some of my picky eaters.

The food was very delicious.The bathroom and room were clean.However, the walls in the room are very thin and you can hear people talking in the next room.There is a smoking area, but the smell of cigarettes wafts into the hallway.Although the rice was delicious, these two points were very disappointing, so I gave it 4 stars.
