The building feels old, but the facilities are new and clean, probably having been renovated, and the rooms, shared baths, and toilets were clean and comfortable, and I felt comfortable using them.The futon mattress pad and blanket were new and comfortable.There was also plenty of beef in the beef shabu hotpot and sea bream in the taichiri hotpot, and the special sauce was delicious.For both dinner and breakfast, you can have plenty of white rice and sea bream rice in the rice cooker. The sea bream rice had wild vegetables or something in it and was very delicious!I was treated very well by both the staff and the general. Thank you.The soup stock of the sea bream chiri nabe was so delicious that I later realized that I should have poured it over the sea bream rice and was disappointed (lol).If I have a chance, I would like to try it the next time I stay.
