An inn with a quiet atmosphere (there didn't seem to be any shops within walking distance) and a garden.The seven guest rooms (one is a special room with an open-air bath) are all separated from each other, so you can relax without worrying about the noise from the rooms next door.There are two rooms with tatami mats, separated by sliding doors.Since there is a hot spring, I don't think there is much demand for it, but there is a bath in the room, and shampoo, conditioner, and body soap were provided.The public bathing area has a large bath, an open-air bath made of rocks, a sauna, and a cold bath, and it is fully equipped with shampoo, conditioner, body soap, cleansing oil, lotion + milky lotion + serum, hair dryer, etc. .Dinner was a course meal, and it was a former Japanese restaurant, so it was very delicious (the handmade soba noodles were especially delicious).The breakfast was also plentiful and very delicious.In addition, there are many carp swimming in the pond in the garden, and you can feed them for 100 yen, so I think children will be happy.There is a shrine called ``Prince Shotoku Shrine'' on the premises (it is located at the top of a rather steep staircase).Payment is in cash only. Day trip to the hot springs is also possible.

We used Tsuge no Ma (dinner included, breakfast not included) as a couple in early August for our wedding anniversary and maternity trip.The room is spaciousWashroom, toilet, shower roomEverything was very beautifulIt was easy to apply makeup and get ready in the morning.The open-air bath in the Tsuge-no-ma room also has a nice view of the garden. Mosquito coils, insect repellent spray, and insect nets were also available. I guess it can be helped a bit since it's summer and there's a lot of nature around, but even though I hate insects, it doesn't bother me.There were few people in the public bath at the time I was there, so I was able to relax. The open-air bath was niceAll the food is delicious too.I especially liked the appetizersThe overall amount was just right as it can be painful to eat a lot during pregnancy.I also ordered an anniversary cake for an additional charge.Thank you for preparing the cute cakeI also appreciated the attention to detail on the corkboard in the room.It was included in the plan, so I used handheld fireworks. They will provide buckets and other items for you to enjoy in front of the pond in the inn's lovely garden. The illuminated Prince Shotoku Shrine that could be seen from there was beautiful.The staff at the inn were all very pleasant and I gave it a 5 star rating, including the interior, guest rooms, bathrooms, meals, etc.★It has become one of my favorite inns. I want to go again ♫

I came all the way on a Saturday after seeing the information board for a soba restaurant in Izuru, but even though I came before 3pm, I couldn't get in because it closed at 2:30pm.If so, please write the business hours on the information board.If I didn't have that connection, I probably wouldn't come again.

I searched for soba noodles in Tochigi Prefecture and hot springs in the surrounding area, and found Taishikan, which seemed very comfortable, so I booked a one-night stay with half board on a weekday.The homepage and the actual atmosphere were the same!You can enjoy a variety of dishes, and I took the open-air bath three times, but since there weren't many guests staying on weekdays, I enjoyed the bath by myself except for the first time (lol).Room: It was very clean.It has a nice smell of tatami.Hotels often use old photos, but Taishikan's room is just like the photo on the website.I was able to watch Netflix on TV.There are 2 air conditioners.The table had a kotatsu function.There is a safe and a refrigerator (with free drinks).The futon was soft and she was happy.Food: Meals will be delivered to your room at dinner time (17:30, 18:00, or 18:30).Various dishes are brought to you at regular intervals.It makes me feel very full (lol)Breakfast (you can choose between 8:00 and 8:30) is eaten at a seat next to the front desk.The tofu made on the spot is delicious. Rock salt is recommended. The rice is also cooked in a pot and smells very nice. And you can get a second helping (๑´ڡ`๑)There is a coffee machine, so you can enjoy the scenery while drinking coffee after your meal.WiFi: There is WiFi in each individual room.The room we stayed in didn't connect at first...There is also a note in the room saying that communication is not stable. However, I was unable to connect for a long time, so I consulted a waitress and was able to resolve the issue, so I'm glad.Open-air bath: Unlike the photo of the open-air bath on the website, there was a gazebo. It looked beautiful, so I don't think it's been that long since I installed it.Also, the bathtub part was different, probably because it was renovated, but I have no complaints. However, it may feel cramped if there are many customers.Personally, I feel comfortable taking a shower in the large public bath.Both the proprietress and the waitress are soft-spoken and calm.She was satisfied, so I decided to come again if I have another chance.Next time, I would like to stay at “Ike no Ma” which has an open-air bath✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

I used it because it had good reviews.Make a reservation from the inn's website. There was no communication other than an automatic reply email.Arrive at the inn.I think it's good that there is a sense of oldness.I don't recommend it to people who don't like insects. There are quite a lot of insects this season, and even if you are closed, they will come in from somewhere.There was no mosquito repellent in the room. Spray only.The public bath is convenient.Is the sauna closed? I couldn't use it.No rice comes out.Only Inari for midnight snack.Are you selling soba noodles? It was definitely delicious though.I know it's old, but it doesn't feel clean overall.Dirt or stains on the carpet,The shoji and sliding doors are clearly damaged and dirty.So can you relax? That said, no.The sound of birds and the quietness are a waste.
