I don’t think many westerners stay here but I whole heartedly recommend!! The hosts are absolutely lovely and picked us up from Ainokura thatched village and are dropping us to the train station tomorrow. The Inn was built in 1925 and is beautifully decorated in a very traditional style with lots of colourful artwork and thoughtful touches. It overlooks the river. The onsen was SO good. The room is lovely with a great view of the garden. By far the highlight though was the incrediblefood! So many local delicacies and dishes- all so fresh and lovingly prepared. We were so stuffed we couldn’t eat it all! Do yourself a favour and stay here.

★There is not much information on the web, so I will give a thorough review in the hope that it will be useful for future reference.★Please view it from the perspective of "going to stay at a guesthouse."I was visiting hotels with Zashiki Warashi, and I stayed there. I was very satisfied with the hostess's hospitable customer service and the delicious food. It was 21,000 yen (tax included) per person for a holiday stay.Use the Japanese-Western style room at the back. There are 3 windows, so there is no problem with lighting.Apparently it was renovated a few years ago, so the tatami mats and beds were spotless.From the window you can see the road, mountains, and garden at the back. (The road was like a dead-end road used only by construction workers, so there was no noise from cars.)On this day, there were only two groups staying, but out of the four rooms, two rooms are usually used. (There are two rooms left, but they are less than half the size of the other rooms. They are so small that they are basically not used.)There was also a dining table that seated four people, and we enjoyed drinking there.As a side note, there is a passageway that goes further back, but it is currently blocked off. When I looked at the room information, it said it was an annex. I could feel the vestiges of a prosperous past.The bath didn't feel old at all, probably because it had been renovated within a few years. The hot water is said to be a simple alkaline spring, so it leaves your skin a little slippery. There is also an open-air bath. (Indoor baths are open until 10pm and 6am the next day, outdoor baths are open until 9pm)Shampoo, conditioner, and body soap are provided in the bath. (It's not for commercial use, but a commercially available type, so it's a bit of a bargain.)There are no bath chairs for the elderly or infants, which are often seen at hot spring facilities these days. Please note that there is no razor cream or razor itself.The landlady's creative cuisine. Even if you're in your early 30s, you'll be full.There is a good balance of ingredients from the sea and mountains, and what is unusual is that game (deer, bear, wild boar) is included. It has no particular odor and can be eaten easily. Even people who don't like Japanese-style kaiseki can probably enjoy it.Dinner at a typical ryokan takes about an hour at most, but it took about two hours from start to finish, so there was quite a lot of food.Paid drinks include beer, sake, highball, and sofudori (orange/oolong).Overall, I think it's a fairly old building, but it seemed like it had been renovated from time to time, so it didn't feel old at all.(Everything except the toilet seat may feel a little old)One thing to note is that if you are concerned about noise, it might be better to stay in the guest room right up the stairs. The hallways and guest rooms only have wooden sliding doors, so I think you can hear the sounds of people walking in the hallways.Located in the Nagasaki hot spring town, it takes about 20 minutes by car from the flat area at the foot of the mountain.If you go to the foot of the mountain, you will find convenience stores, supermarkets, drug stores, home centers, etc.There were several other guesthouses, and they all seemed to have customers.There was also a shrine nearby, so I visited it.There is bridge construction going on right in front of you, so please be careful. (I think there will be construction noise on weekdays)①AmenitiesOnly bath towels, face towels, and disposable toothbrushes are provided. (Other items include tissues, yukata, pot, teacup, and tea sweets)As will be explained later, we recommend bringing disposable paper cups.②Shared equipmentBaths, toilets, and washrooms are shared. There are three Western-style toilets on the second floor. There is a shared plastic cup in the washroom for brushing your teeth.There is nothing in the bath other than a hair dryer.There are no barrier-free facilities. Guest rooms are only on the 2nd floor.③InsectsThis year, there are a lot of stink bugs, so when I turn on the air conditioner, dead stink bugs fall out inside. I didn't see any live stink bugs during my stay, but it's located in the mountains, so please keep that in mind if you're considering staying there. (Other than that, there were dead stink bugs falling here and there.)④Refrigerator, safe, humidifier, etc.There is no conclusion. There are also no vending machines in the building.There is a Coca-Cola vending machine at the entrance of the hot spring town where you can buy soft drinks. (about 2 minutes walk)*I think it can't be helped because the premise is that it is managed by a small number of people.①Cleaning statusI was a little concerned about the cleanliness of the toilet.It is said that humans are the ``god of the toilet.'' Humans are given the lives of living things, and the last place we send them off is the toilet. I look forward to the future.Regarding the floor tiles of the next open-air bath, there was a water supply and a deck brush nearby, so I was able to polish only the conductor parts with all my heart.②Efficacy tableI saw it on a local TV special on Youtube called "Simple Alkaline Spring". I think it would be more enjoyable if there was a notice board in the bathroom. Also, I think it's a natural source, but I thought it would be great if there was also a description of how to manage the hot water.- According to the landlady, if you leave yellow, green, and blue balloons, something will happen. Also, the balloons used may have been touched by Zashiki Warashi, so we were advised to take them home for good luck.・There are other guesthouses, but this is the only one that has a zashiki warashi. Apparently, it was a family that ruled the surrounding area in the past, so that may be the reason.・This time, the orb was only photographed with a digital camera. (Sometimes you can even touch it)

``It is said that this inn is home to a zashiki warashi who is said to bring good luck to those who see it and bring wealth to the family. It is said that if you can meet a Zashiki Warashi, your luck with work, money, health, etc. will improve, and everything will go well. 'So I stayed at the hotel at my wife's request. Clean accommodation and more food than you can finish. I ate so much food that I couldn't even drink alcohol (lol)I took a leisurely bath around 9am. . . When I woke up, it was 5:30 in the morning. . .I fell asleep until morning before I could see Zashikiwarashi (^-^;I've always been a short sleeper, so I never expected to sleep this long. . . The child must have made him fall asleep! ! I believe that.I really took it easy. That alone makes me happy.

In the mountains surrounded by nature, all you can hear is the sounds of nature. Recommended for people who want to relax.The time I spent in the open-air bath under such circumstances was the best.The food is very delicious and I would like to come back again.It's a shame that the only way to get to the old inn deep in the mountains is by car or taxi, but even with that, I'm still satisfied.

I was informed that a zashiki warashi was coming, so I stayed there for one night.I was skeptical, but Zashiki Warashi was there♥Although I couldn't see him, I had a strange experience of seeing blue and green orbs and balloons moving on their own. I think there is a very cute zashikiwarashi. I was healed. The landlady was a kind and lovely person, the food was delicious, and the bath was relaxing for both body and soul. I was disappointed that I couldn't take a bath in the open-air bath because it was too warm, but there is no doubt that it was a very nice inn!On the way back, I would like to thank the landlady for seeing us off until we could no longer see our car. Thank you very much for giving me an energy drink so I could go back far.Thanks to you, I was able to return home safely.I'm sure good things will happen, so I'd like to visit again to pay my respects.Thank you for your continued support.We continue to pray for the health and continued development of the proprietress of Minshuku Okabe-san, her family, and all of her staff.Thank you very much_(._.)_

Will Zashiki Warashi appear? I heard that and stayed the night.As an ordinary person, I couldn't feel anything, but some of the wives next door felt it running over my chest while I was sleeping!I felt like there was someone above me!I asked her in the bath and she told me!When I took the video, an orb came out and several lights intersected! I couldn't feel anything, but I'm sure it was there! I believe that.The inn was very nice, and there were many beautiful pictures of camellias all over the place!The food was prepared by the innkeeper, who is a nutritionist, and it was very delicious.If you come again, I hope you can feel Zashiki Warashi!

It's a guest house, but it was more than I imagined. I don't like rockfish, but pulling out the innards and gills from my mouth and grilling them over a hearth for three hours was the first time in my life that I was able to bite into the whole fish. We had over 30 delicious Japanese-Western dishes, alcoholic beverages, and vegetable dishes, and even though we were full, we finished the meal. ♨It was a family-run inn full of hospitality.
