At first I was surprised at how deserted the area was in front of Isobe Station. Beyond the "Welcome" gate are two decaying wooden abandoned houses. There's no convenience store either.Now, as for the people at the inn, unlike in the past, they have stopped serving meals properly. In recent years, it seems to be billed as a ``inn for overnight stays without meals.'' The open-air bath is also closed. Will there be maintenance costs? It seemed like they were trying to find a way to survive in line with the times.I think it's for golfers, but some of the seemingly cheaper plans have check-out times of 7 a.m. or 8 a.m., so be careful when making reservations. As a general rule, it is not allowed to stay inside the inn during the day even when staying for consecutive nights.

I visited here with my pet during the Obon holiday season.It's not air-conditioned throughout the building, but only in the rooms, so it's hot in the lobby💦The windows are open, but I ran into some insects🪳 and got nervous😖There were midges in the room as well, so I was forced to leave.The bathrooms, rooms, and hallways are very clean and well-maintained.It's dark at night, so it would be nice to have a little more light, but then there would be the problem of insects, which is a problem.I understand that it is difficult for the landlady to run the air conditioner by herself, but I think it would be better to hire a professional to clean the air conditioner in your room, which will greatly improve the cooling efficiency, so I hope you will keep this in mind.Is it because there is a festival coming up for a walk at night? It's lit up and it's even more emotional.

Even if you arrive before check-in time, the entrance is locked and you cannot enter. It's difficult to arrive early, have your luggage stored, and take a walk.I think it would be more convenient if you check in late and leave early in the morning.Meals can be purchased in advance at nearby restaurants or convenience stores and brought in.The bath can be reserved for private use and you can take your time. The room is large, clean and comfortable. The wife is also kind.

This is a hidden inn that I would recommend to women.There seem to be a lot of business travelers and golfers, and there aren't many female guests, so it's easy to reserve the bath for yourself.When I was there, I was able to enjoy the hot springs privately to myself every time.Unfortunately, the proprietress is currently running the business by herself, so there is no open-air bath, only an indoor bath.The rooms are on the 2nd or 3rd floor, the bathroom is on the 1st floor, and there is no elevator, so it is not suitable for people with mobility problems.Since it's easy to buy dinner or go out to eat, I thought it would be nice if there was a plan that included breakfast.The landlady here is a wonderful person and I think the food she cooks is absolutely delicious.

I stayed on a plan where I only paid for the room (I brought my pajamas, towels, and toothbrush).*It seems that you can rent it for a fee.The landlady was very kind and I had very good memories. The hot springs were also pleasant.*There are not many restaurants within walking distance, so you should be careful about that.

The landlady immediately greeted me. There was no staff and she seemed to be running the place by herself.I thought the room was clean and well-cleaned, but there were caterpillars and turtle bugs in the room. There are no screens on the windows, so I couldn't open them when it was hot because insects would come in.Towels, toothbrushes, yukata, etc. are all available for a fee.I was surprised at the 500 yen yukata rental.I can't complain because it's a cheap room without meals, but the walls are thin and I could clearly hear the TV next door and couldn't get a good night's rest.
