The spring water is sweet and super soft, so it has a good taste.I use it for cooking and bathing, and the food was Omi beef sukiyaki and the eggs were Biho eggs, which had reddish yolks and were very delicious.

The hostel is in a vallage and it is expected to be for local family or local visitor. The staffs are helpful and try very hard to communicate in English. …

5/5
It's a fun place to bring children[R5 supplement]There have been some harsh reviews, but I think that's due to a mismatch in needs. This place is like a private lodging in the countryside, and is suitable for people who want to relax and have a relaxing time. Most of the parts are self-service, and there is no staff at night. The staff also seem to be from the neighborhood, so I don't think they are veterans of the lodging industry. The service is not like that of a good hotel or inn. The rice is delicious, but not as filling as the dinner at a ryokan. In the past, the price was reasonable considering these points, but recently it has become much more expensive. If you expect a service commensurate with the price, some people may give you harsh reviews. Other people have written about the appeal of this place, so I think it's a good idea to look at it and discuss the price. If you're looking for above-standard service, I think you'd be better off elsewhere. I used to use it every year, but I haven't been able to go since the price has risen recently.
