I have been visiting you every year for over 10 years. Since I have four children, I usually request a Japanese-style room. We also have children, and they are having fun at the inn, playing games together in the playroom.The food is always delicious. The homemade apple dressing on the salad is delicious!The care and consideration is perfect.Thank you for your help this year! !

Stayed here for the purpose of climbing Mt. Nikko Shirane and Lake Ozenuma.This is a pension where you can stay with your pet. You can also store it during the day. (You need to bring your own gauge.)After I started getting a pet, I was able to go to Oze, which I had given up on, which was a great help.You can also purchase cheap tickets for the Nikko Shirane Ropeway.You can enjoy delicious food. When I went to Ozenuma, I asked for a lunch box. They responded flexibly to various situations.The only disappointing thing is that there is no refrigerator. There is also no communal refrigerator, which is common in guesthouses and pensions. Another customer brought in a large cooler box.

It is located in a pension village near Marunuma Kogen Ski Resort. I think it's easy to access because it's right next to the hitte from the national highway.I was using it for mountain climbing, so I stayed overnight without meals, but the owner of the pension was a nice person and was available to talk to me about climbing the next day, which was very helpful.

I arrived early and they took me to a nearby hiking trail. Moreover, there was a part that I missed due to my mistake, but they sent me the side. I was satisfied with the meal. Is the bathroom really small?

Stayed here to participate in Marunuma Swim Run. The room was luxurious and the dinner was elaborate and wonderful. If I have a chance to get revenge on the race, I would like to stay there again.

Used for climbing Mt. Shirane.This is a lovely family-run pension.I wonder if it's ok to bring pets, some even brought their dogs.The check-in time was also flexible, and they were able to accommodate us until late at night, which was helpful.You can also purchase discount tickets for the Mt. Shirane ropeway.I chose a plan that included breakfast, and it was delicious, just like a pension breakfast.There are plenty of spaces where you can hang out and information on nearby sightseeing.It takes about 20 minutes by car to the nearest convenience store.It can't be helped because it's a pension, but the footsteps of other guests outside the room were quite loud, so it was a bit noisy in the morning. That's the only disappointing point.Everyone at the pension who dealt with me was nice and the customer service was friendly. Overall I'm satisfied!

I stayed there two summers ago.Just at the peak of the Perseid meteor shower.After dinner, I wanted to take a gondola ride to the top of the mountain.It was raining in the evening, so I don't know if we'll see a meteor shower.When I told them that, they kindly agreed to take me to the gondola station.When I went to the top of the mountain, it was cloudy, but the sky was beautiful✨I felt happy because I saw so many shooting stars.When I got on the gondola on my way home, I contacted the hotel.He came to pick me up on time.A wonderful pension that accommodates irregular guestsThe food was also delicious.By the way, we also had a Chihuahua with us, and the hostess was so kind that I would like to stay there again 🥰
