The guest room felt a little old, but the tatami mats were new, and I thought the futons with mattresses would be comfortable for foreigners to sleep in.The interior of the hotel has a classy and old feel to it.As for the hot springs, the facilities feel old, but the quality and temperature of the hot springs are perfect.The food was very good, including the service.

The landlady was fun, cheerful, and friendly. He is very knowledgeable about even the smallest details of this region, so please ask him about various things.

I made a reservation through Hokuriku Cheer Discount Rurubu. Sold out in just 1 minute. I was lucky.I stayed with Kizuki for one night, and there were quite a few guests.On the other hand, the hot springs were not crowded and I was able to take a relaxing bath.It seems that the water is flowing straight from the source, so there was a lot of hot spring water, but there was no sulfur smell at all, and although it was a little hot, it was just right in the open-air bath.It's also nice to be able to take a bath in the hot springs 24 hours a day.Unfortunately, in order to go to the open-air bath, I had to return from the indoor bath to the changing room and then go to the open-air bath, which was a hassle as I had to wipe my body and walk through the changing room each time.As expected, you can't stay soaked... Some people just went, but I thought it was good manners.There was no air conditioning or fan in the changing room, so I was so hot for a while that I couldn't change my clothes.There was a small dehumidifying blower air conditioner, but it wasn't oriented towards the wind...There seemed to be a variety of dishes to choose from when making the reservation, but since I didn't have that much time to choose from, I had the regular kaiseki meal and the main dish was pork stew.It was a shame that other seats had sizzling meat and pots, but all the food was delicious and the customer service was good.There was already a futon in the room, and the mat was very nice, but unfortunately I couldn't sleep well because the pillow didn't fit.Also, the WiFi was weak so I couldn't watch the video.There was a smoking area outside, but in this season it didn't bother me as there was a roof and benches, and I was able to go out 24 hours a day, which was nice.Overall, I would like to come again if the pillows fit.

We stayed on a cheap plan that included a lift ticket and lodging fee. Perhaps for that reason, we were charged an additional 1000 yen for parking.Other travel sites say that parking is free, so maybe they are trying to take money where they can, but it doesn't feel good.Also, I didn't have a yukata in the room, so I asked the woman at the front desk, and she said they had one here.Should I give an explanation at check-in? I think.The food was plentiful and delicious, and the small woman (probably the landlady?) who was explaining the dishes and serving customers at the dinner and breakfast venues was very pleasant.It was supposed to be a pleasant trip, but I am disappointed that the response from the front desk staff left a negative impression on me.

We booked this place without any pre info and we can say that we scored! To start with we came to ski and it was the ideal base for the local Myoko region. Mieko our host was absolutely the best host always helping us even how tired she may of been bless her. We got access to cheaper deals around the mountains with both ski passes and transport. Mieko also sent us to the best places to eat for dinner….The rooms were also good, beds were good, onsen was great, breakfast was exceptional, location was perfect! We met many lovely guests also staying there. I would love to come back someday I hope I can!!

This is an older hot spring B&B. The toilet in the room is very small and you cannot take a shower. You can only wash your hands and go to the toilet to take a shower. You have to go to the big bathhouse. The hot spring water is natural and contains a lot of minerals, so it is normal for the water to look dirty. The waffles for breakfast are very special and delicious. The Japanese are very friendly and their English skills are very good. It is also very close to the ski resort. I came here during the snow season and the snow thickness is very high. It is fun.
