It's a bit of a walk to get to Yubatake, but I think it's a good distance since you can get there while walking.Is the room renovated? It was well done and beautiful.What caught my attention was that・The walls are thin so you can hear a lot of voices・There is no stove in the changing room, so it's too cold.・There is no mirror in the bathroom, it is too dark・The dryer is dirty and the wind power is too weak.・The mattress is too thin and my back hurts too much・No bathroom or room clock・The only amenities are toothbrushesis.I think it's good for people who like a cozy feel.

I used it when sightseeing in Kusatsu.The owner of an inn? He was also very personable and made me feel very comfortable.The bath was fed by natural hot spring water, so it was very comfortable, but it was difficult to control the temperature of the shower, and it was cold even though you had to pay to heat the room, so I gave it a -1 star.Overall, it was a very nice inn, and I would like to use it again.

The location was great, within walking distance of Yubatake and Nishi-no-Kawara Park. The cost performance was also good. Customer service was also polite.What bothered me was the lack of heating and lack of soundproofing. Even though it was 11pm, the noise from the three male guests who were making noise in the bathroom on the first floor could be heard up to the room on the second floor, which was very unpleasant.

During Golden Week, I stayed in the same room for 2 nights. Since I had already paid online through the online reservation site, there were no discounts for consecutive nights. However, the sheets on the second day's futon were not changed or re-bedded, and no amenities were added. On top of that, when I checked out, I was charged an additional 2,000 yen for heating for the two nights, which I paid. It's true that the first day was cold even though it was May, but the wind coming out of the heater heated by hot spring heat wasn't that warm, so I was thinking, "It's cold. It's cold." I didn't think they were so kind to me that they asked me to pay for it. If I had known that I would have to pay for the heating, I would have told the hostel that it was cold.

This is an old-fashioned inn.It was especially nice in the morning with the morning sun shining into the room.Nishi-no-Kawara Onsen is nearby, and Yubatake is a little far away, but I think it's a good place to take a walk and explore the hot spring town.
