I was able to relax in a very nice inn. All the furniture was provided, and I was very grateful that there was a washer and dryer.There is also a Japanese-style room where you can sleep on futons, a dining room, and a Japanese-style room, so I think anyone can feel at ease.The parking lot can accommodate about 2 cars.It's convenient because it's close to Takachiho Gorge and you can go to supermarkets if you have a car.

I stayed with friends and family for one night and two days in late August. Two cars can be parked side by side with plenty of space. When you enter the entrance, there is a large hall, and as you walk down the hallway, there is a 2-6 tatami room on the right, a Western-style room on the left, and a 6-tatami Japanese-style room with a kitchen and another verandah in the back. This time, we had a tarp and outdoor chairs set up outside on the porch, so we had a BBQ there. The children had fun running around the hallways and playing hide and seek. It's perfect for two families or a group of about 6 people. I will use it again if I have the opportunity!

This is a one-building inn that is available for rent to only one group per day.While preserving the retro Showa era, they provided us with easy-to-use facilities, allowing us to spend a comfortable time. On the day of the stay, they kindly guided us around as well.
