I suddenly had a long weekend off, so I visited for the first time after being introduced by a family friend. I booked a log house type detached house because my two Labs are too friendly towards other dogs.There was only one bed in the room, so when we first showed you the room, you could change it if you wanted.Although it did feel a bit cramped when we slept, it was a perfect choice for our dog-first home. .The area around the door is surrounded by lattice, etc., so you can use it like a small private run, and since I was returning from SUP, I was able to dry my swimsuit.I was worried about insect bites when eating in the garden, but they made sure to use insect repellent spray, stickers, mosquito coils, etc. for the dog as well, so I was able to have a relaxing meal without any itching and the dog was free.Above all, everyone at the hotel was so hospitable, and even though it was a surprise stay, I felt like I was at my parents' home (lol).As for the food, the restaurant food, which mainly features Tonchan, is seasoned to my liking and is delicious and filling, and the breakfast is more filling than I expected. It was a cost-effective accommodation that satisfied both people and dogs.

The place for dinner was a tent-like place in the courtyard, and it was like a catered lunch, so there was no warm food.There won't be a second time.

I will be staying here for the second time soon. The inn is surrounded by nature and makes you feel like you're traveling to a foreign country. The two women who live at the inn and the student part-time worker are all very warm people.My dog doesn't have a good heart condition, but they brought me a medicinal menu for my dog that contained heart-healthy ingredients. I was really happy when you said that to me. Thank you for your continued support.
