The water area is clean and clean, and there is a large refrigerator, microwave, and electric kettle.There is also a parking lot, and you are free to enter and exit at any time.The staff are always smiling, and I wonder if they hired people by their faces.There are some beautiful staff members and some with cute faces.It's been a long time since I've been able to have a feast for my eyes😊

container hotelI used it to rest my body after finishing work in the countryside in the middle of the night.It seems that the late night check-in service will be discontinued from October, which is a shame.From now on, I'll take a nap in the car...

When I went to Nasu two years ago, I used another R9, and it was good, so I used this one the night before this time.I'm traveling with a preschooler, but it's a little more comfortable because we're separated by containers.It's along the road so it's noisy. Ear plugs were provided as amenities.At check-in, my Japanese was a little sluggish, but all I had to do was enter a number on a tablet, and they seemed friendly so I didn't have any problems.For frozen food, you can choose pasta or pilaf. You will be given a ticket, so exchange it before checking out (there is an intercom during the night, so change it before then).There is a two-door refrigerator in the room, so it is helpful to have a solid refrigerator. The heating time is also written on the microwave, which is helpful.Having a deodorant spray at the entrance is also helpful. I think most people use it for business, so I recommend that you use it quickly.This is where I got into trouble.Check-in was around 18:00 and WiFi almost didn't work until 22:00. It's not so much that it's weak, but rather that I can't pick up the signal...I can't use this as a tablet, and I can't even say it has WiFi. I guess it's because there are a lot of accesses...It is quite difficult to control the temperature of the shower. Even after trial and error, it didn't work, and it suddenly became cold or too hot. Is it still possible to adjust the hot water storage?Coffee and tea are available at the reception, so it's a cheap stay with free parking and close to your room, so if you understand that, I recommend it.

I was interested in container rooms and stayed for 2 nights in conjunction with a nearby event.The guest room is almost minimal in size with a bed, counter, refrigerator, and unit bath. The window is quite narrow on one side. I can't help it.The bed is large enough for single use.I was quite concerned about the lengthwise shortness of the toilet bowl in the unit bath.A water heater is installed in each room, so hot water comes out quickly.Due to the structure, the insulation ability is quite strict, and even if there is sunlight in June, if you do nothing, it will be an eternal summer. The air conditioner works quickly, so there is no problem if you use it for disimpaction.There are as many parking lots on the premises as there are rooms.You can get a ticket to exchange frozen food (stir-fried rice and spaghetti) for the number of nights you stay. You can exchange it at any time during your stay at the administration building.In addition, there are free drinks and amenities in the administration building.Coin laundry and beverage (alcohol, soft drinks) vending machines in the space of one guest room.You can stay there for a reasonable price, so it's a good choice for me.
