A Showa-era guesthouse that is now valuable. Enjoy the luxury of quiet time in a simple Japanese-style room with precious Showa-era fittings and the sound of the sea as background music. The food served is light and delicious, making the most of the ingredients.Recommended for those who are comfortable with the etiquette of a quality guesthouse, and can enjoy a time trip.

Thank you for your help over the new year. The New Year's Eve soba, osechi, and zoni were very hearty and delicious.The view of the ocean and the sunrise from the window is amazing, and the bath is so comfortable that I love it.I will definitely visit you again, thank you.

It was my first time visiting.I went by motorcycle, so it might be difficult for a big car. However, I'm glad we were able to put it under the roof.I would like to thank the landlady for being so friendly and quickly replacing the item I didn't like with something else.In this day and age, we were still having separate meals, but next time I visit, I'd like to have everyone together.

I used it on a solo trip.Although this is my own opinion, I would like to give a detailed review. There may be some rude expressions in some parts, so please forgive me.Overall rating 5/5Considering the food and price, I can say it's amazing. I think this is the best accommodation for those who don't mind the old facilities.Price 5/5Staying alone costs just 10,000 yen including dinner and breakfast. Combined with the meals below, it's an incredible value for money.Equipment 4/5For better or worse, it feels like an inn.Rather than imagining a hotel, it felt like returning to an old woman's house in the countryside. 4 points for the toilet.good pointThere is a modern and clean Western-style toilet on the second floor.Facilities are old, but clean enoughThe bathroom is quite large.Bad pointsThe road is narrow and difficult to access.The facilities in general, including the building, are old.Washrooms and toilets are shared by guests (which is normal at a Japanese inn)Service 3/5Basically self-service.Bath towels are available for rent. If you don't like the rental towels, you can purchase them for a fee (400 yen).Toothbrushes are also free. Bring your own food to your room and return the plates.Cooking 5/5For dinner, we had a small pot of spiny lobster, turban shells, sashimi, grilled in foil, fried food, and more. Great quantity and taste!othersThe landlady is a really nice person.I received leftover boiled food.(I'm very sorry for being so rude)It seems that the father and the landlady are running the business together. He is said to be 70 years old, so it seems likely that he will retire soon. This is a very nice accommodation, so we recommend using it now.

Rich in Ise shrimp and shrimp miso.I was a little impressed by the way the tongue of the turban shell was carefully processed.

Even though it's New Year's Day, it's a very reasonable inn with half board included and a low price.The ocean view from the room is amazing! !However, the roads around the inn were so narrow that it was difficult to park.It's a Showa-era guest house, and people may have big differences in what they like or dislike.It has an indescribably retro atmosphere, which is different from expensive hot spring hotels.I really liked the whole inn, including how cluttered it was.Thank you again.

I used it for one night while touring. Although the building is not new, the interior is well-maintained and comfortable.If you are used to staying in guesthouses, there is no problem. A very friendly hostess will take care of you.The amount of food was just right, and everything down to the small bowl of stew was delicious. It makes you feel like you're back at your grandmother's or grandfather's house in the countryside. There's no excessive service, but I prefer it that way and it's quieter.The road to the inn was narrow and narrow, but since I was riding a motorcycle, it wasn't a problem. However, there is a large, flat parking lot a little further away, so I think it would be a good idea to park there.Also, the view from the room is amazing.
