The room smells like mold and cigarettes, and the toilet is shared. It was the worst.

Breakfast was delicious.We stayed for several nights, and each day we had something different and delicious.Of course, the rice is from Uonuma. I've changed it.The coffee after the meal was also delicious.The bath is fed directly from the source.You can enter as much as you want. For the girls, there were various shampoos and conditioners, and I used a lot of them (lol).The water was soft and not too hot so I took it easy.The room has a system where you lay out your own futon, and amenities include towels and a toothbrush. On the first night there were green tea bags.There is no refrigerator or toilet in the room, and those are shared.Also, the water is drawn from a spring (Jizo Spring) and you can drink as much as you like.If you have any questions about sightseeing spots, please ask the staff and they will be able to give you lots of information.It's quiet because it's away from the city.A car is recommended.

Stayed here after a Mt. Makiki mountain climbing expedition.I reserved a Western-style room with a bed.Both the couple were very friendly, and the accommodation was a great place to listen to local stories and enjoy the real pleasure of traveling.The room had been renovated to look like a lodge, and was clean with the scent of cypress.You can enjoy the hot springs flowing directly from the source, and you will want to bathe in them over and over again. The fatigue from climbing Mt. Makiki was completely blown away.

As I said earlier, a normal rating would be 1 star.There are so many things I want to say that I can't write them all down.I stayed in a room with a bath.It's a cypress bath...Apparently it's just hot water.First of all, there was no mention of it on HP, etc.I should have called, but I thought it was normal for the hot springs to be listed if they weren't available.I didn't use it because there was no point in just soaking it in hot water.☆There are no amenities in the washroom.☆Frugal elements that will surprise you with your meals(In addition, there are no napkins or tissues on the table.)It's no wonder this is getting such good reviews.It's a little worse than others in the same price range.

A mountain lodge located on a small mountain about 40 minutes walk from Muikamachi. I had a breakfast only plan, but the Koshihikari rice from Uonuma was so delicious that I ended up ordering a second helping.The best part is the hot springs! You can add as much as you like so it's a little lukewarm. Maybe it's not enough for those who like piping hot food? The quality of the spring water is also excellent. I'll come back later.

This time, my wife was really interested, so I stayed with her for one night.The location from the room is very quiet and relaxing as you can see Mt. Hakkaisan and the lake.The amount of food may not be enough for those who eat a lot, but my wife and I eat relatively little, so we were full for both breakfast and dinner.Not only the pot-au-feu for dinner, but each small bowl for breakfast was simple and rustic, but I could feel that they were elaborate and careful.During dinner, I told her that I wanted to meet her signature dog, ``Purin-chan'', and she happily let me come to work.I was very happy because they were very friendly and worked hard to entertain me (●´ϖ`●)What I personally liked was the mandala and Sanskrit wall decorations in the dining room, which created a very relaxing and comfortable space while eating.The hostess was a powerful person, and even during the busy breakfast time, she looked up the Mayan calendar for us and recommended books for us and was very friendly.I would like to stay there again.

The food was poor for the price. The common areas are cold because there is no heating! The hot springs are also lukewarm.You can also buy your own drinks from the vending machines located on the lower floor of the dining room. I was surprised. I understand the meaning of advance payment. It was a disappointing stay.
