Good thing◎I felt at ease because the staff were Japanese, which is rare these days. The retro keys will get you excited. The outdoor hot spring bath attached to the room was very nice. I was able to relax and have the large public bath all to myself. I was able to eat slowly and quietly in my room, which was very satisfying.Places that caught my attention△The sofa in the room felt a little tired, so the room might look larger without it.Overall, I felt that the cost performance was good for the service.It was a normal plan, but I was surprised that it included dancing abalone. It had a rich texture and was very delicious. Next time I would like to bring my whole family.

We visited to celebrate my wife's birthday.The food lives up to its reputation. The sashimi was especially delicious.Grilled abalone dancing too!My wife was also very happy with it, which was great.Although the facility is old, it was my birthday anniversary stay, and the receptionist and the person in charge of the room were friendly, and I appreciate their thoughtful and courteous service.From now on, don't forget 100-1=0 and keep smiling!Also, I think it would be better to use white lights for the indoor bath, toilet, and washroom because they are brighter.Please consider this.I would like to ask you again. Thank you very much.PS. The road in front of the hotel is narrow, but it's not a one-way street, so don't worry.

I made a reservation with a plan that included in-room meals and an open-air bath in the guest room. The amount of rice was just right and it was delicious! I was a little worried about not being able to see the open-air bath in the guest room from outside, but it felt great! It's a long-established inn, so it feels old, but it didn't bother me at all.

I made a reservation and used it for my first family trip in a while. I was surprised that it was old, but it was well kept and the room was small for a family of four. There was a room with a bed and a room with tatami mats, and although the tatami room felt a bit small, I was able to have a good night's rest. Best of all, I could see the ocean right from my room. The sunset and morning sun were absolutely beautiful. The room was quiet and I felt relaxed. For dinner, the elderly woman who lived in the room carried everything to my room and I was surprised. The dinner was amazing, with lots of seafood, and the taste was delicious. The hot springs were free flowing and very nice. I took the open-air bath many times and it was great to see the stars at night. The employees also talk to me when I meet them, and they are friendly and very kind. It's been a long time since I've been to Shizuoka, and the employee was very helpful in recommending places to visit. The breakfast was very plentiful and I was full. He was really helpful and kind until the end.I would like to use it again next time.

I was intrigued by the fact that it had a cooking room and an open-air bath, so I made a reservation. Although we arrived a little early, we were welcomed warmly. The food was served neatly and neatly, and the food looked good and tasted delicious. From the open-air bath in your room, you can see Toi Port and the arrival and departure of Suruga Bay ferries. The floor and walls of the hinoki tub were a bit slippery, which was a bit disappointing. However, since it was a weekday, the public bath was reserved for private use. The facilities feel old, but they are well maintained and considering the priceI'm very satisfied. This is an inn I would like to visit again if I have the chance.
