I stayed overnight without meals, but I think it's the best value for money!It was a normal room that was kept clean by a gentle landlady.The price is comparable to that of a guest house, so we recommend it.As mentioned in other reviews, the two rice balls prepared in the morning,It was very delicious, and as someone who loves salmon, I was very satisfied.Also, homemade? I bought rice from Minamiuonuma as a souvenir.The price was cheaper than the local supermarket, so it felt like a great deal.Also, as you can see from the delicious taste of the rice balls,It seems that rice grown in the western region, which is exposed to the morning sun, is especially delicious.

It's been a long time since I had a day off, so I went there mainly for Hegi Soba, but the restaurant I was looking for, Tabataya, was temporarily closed on the day I stayed.Saemon Ryokan had a room with separate toilet and washroom, so it's been a long time since I've been there at night. I heard a loud chorus of frogs.

worstInsects come out from various places.There are stink bugs and flies everywhere.The bath was dirty and full of grime, and the water pressure in the shower was too weak.Also, the landlady's husband has a really bad attitude.They don't say hello, they just complain, and I don't think they treat customers well.It's not an inn.

Even if you stay without meals, you can have two rice balls for breakfast.4 stars because the bath is not a hot spring. It's close to the ski resort and the owners are very friendly and kind, so I highly recommend it.

The room is a spacious Japanese-style room. The room I stayed in had a kotatsu.In the morning, we serve rice balls and pickles.

I used it when skiing.The rice was very voluminous and very delicious.The rice was also very delicious and I was very satisfied.We highly recommend that you come with a meal.The rice was homemade. I was able to purchase it and took it home as a souvenir.Cooking it in a clay pot makes it even more delicious.The walls of my room were thin, and I could hear my neighbors making noises during the night, but I was tired, so I got a good night's sleep as well.

Stayed for one night when visiting Naeba.As for the check-in policy at 15:00,We arrived after 11 o'clock and they happily helped us park and store our luggage.Also, it takes about 15 minutes to walk to Shiozawa Station.The landlady gave me a ride.Even when returning home late at night,They allowed us to use the bath after the specified time, which was very considerate.The room is a Japanese-style room, and if you just want to sleep, it's enough.Although the noise from the next room is a bit worrisome,Considering the price, it is acceptable.The next morning, we brought you rice balls.The size and seasoning were perfect, and the service was excellent.An idyllic and warm inn,Recommended for those who don't want too much.
