A few years ago, I stayed overnight for work. It's not that the people at the hostel were bad, but the host's friend was staying there on the first day, so they asked one of them to go to the guest house next door (in the end, it was empty so I was able to stay there, but we were the ones who had booked the place first). . At dinner, I got mixed up with a group of drunk friends and ended up having a very bad meal. The owner of the inn immediately apologized, but is it a typical guesthouse obligation to have to communicate with a drunk fellow guest? If I hadn't met the friendly sweetfish fishermen on the second day, I would have left this inn with the worst impression. Of course, there are good points and bad points. The accommodation itself is clean and the food is delicious. Good hospitality too. Therefore, the above response was unfortunate.I think the people at the inn will be able to identify us if they see this content, but the statute of limitations has expired, so please forgive me.

We stayed here on a forest therapy tour sponsored by the Hinokage Town Tourism Association.The participants stayed at three different inns, but the inn was ranked No. 1 based on reviews from participants the next day👏👏👏It seems like it was built a few years ago, so it's a very new inn. The cleanliness is perfect! ️It is a small inn with 1 room on the 1st floor and 4 rooms on the 2nd floor.There are two toilets and a bath on the second floor, as well as a refrigerator and washing machine.There seems to be one toilet on the first floor as well.The toilet has a washlet and is very clean ✨Each room is 5 tatami mats, and the wall-mounted TV is small, but it's enough for just sleeping 😅Both dinner and breakfast had a wide variety of items, and were home-cooked meals that showed the proprietress' motivation, passion, and personality.I received a large bottle of beer and 3 glasses of shochu, and I thought the price of 1,500 yen was reasonable 😉However, the soundproofing is poor, and yukatas, towels, and razors are not always provided in the room. (A toothbrush set is provided in the communal sink.)The hostess brought out washed towels from the closet, but I think it would be better to bring your own nightgowns and a razor (you may be able to get a razor if you request it💦) .This is not an inn where you are looking for food, relaxation, or entertainment.I think it would be better to use it with the image of a ``beautiful guesthouse''.Having said that, the hostel was full of humanity, offering transportation to and from the hot spring station and helping when my wife spilled her cosmetics on the tatami mats.Thank you for your help 🙇

The interior of the building is beautiful. The room was small, about four and a half tatami mats. I didn't have any complaints since it was just for sleeping, but some people might not like it. The toilet and bath are shared. I think it would be better if you come thinking of it as a guesthouse rather than a ryokan. I went to Onsen Station to take a bath. I was happy that the hostess gave me a free ticket.

The food is also very tasty and the food is clean overall. The view of the Gokase River directly below the room and the sound of the river flowing are indescribably atmospheric. Hinokage Onsen is also within walking distance and is highly recommended.
