<>*If you were lucky enough to find this article before your stay, you're in luck! *Although it is long and rambling, I highly recommend reading it.To protect your precious time and money.Simply put, the amount and content are not commensurate with each other. Therefore, we sincerely recommend staying at a hotel in the same price class.Above all, if the price is the same, hotels are better, but they offer better hospitality, service, ease of use, and more.You can experience the joy of being able to do things that you take for granted.This time, I stayed from the 9th of September, so it was around 84,000 yen per night, even though it was not the peak season.This visit came after staying at a hotel the previous day that was about 9,000 yen cheaper than the above price.I wanted to celebrate her birthday in a special place, so I made the reservation with high expectations.However, what we got from our two-day stay was meager.First of all, the air conditioner is a dilapidated floor-mounted type, and the room is shaped like a square.Too small. . I don't know if it's working. It may work, but it's tough to endure for a long time until the air conditioning works.Therefore, if it's hot, you'll have to open the windows.However, even with a screened door, many insects still come in.There are more than just one or two intruders, so you need to be careful.In addition, due to the structure of the building, insects can also visit bathrooms and toilets, which is especially annoying.Although it is a summer resort and surrounded by trees, I personally feel that the room is hot even in early September. So you can imagine that it will be hotter from June to August.Also, the area around the kitchen sink is made of wood, and the wood is seriously deteriorating.To put it bluntly, it feels like history.I think it would be a good idea to apply varnish or maintain it every time.I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, thinking maybe I wasn't interested in the details.This space is all integrated, with the bathroom and toilet set to the right of the kitchen and the master bedroom next to it.However, there is no window in the sleeping area, and there is nothing that can be done about the smell of mold.The bedding was from IKEA, and it was disappointing to have to pay over 80,000 yen to sleep on IKEA bedding.There are all kinds of cooking utensils, but of course there are no seasonings, so be careful.Because of this problem, I thought it would be wonderful to visit in the fall or winter, but the details I will explain later led me to a completely unexpected conclusion.To my surprise, on the second night before I went to bed, the water in the toilet bowl began to back up!I was using "small". In other words, this is the result of just running water. It's my first experience in my life.This is not a developing country or a cheap hotel. .In addition, even if you use the "small" toilet operation button, it says that you should use the "large" flush button.I would also like to add that I used it exactly as it was written.The toilet was overflowing with water, so even though it was her birthday, the two of them spent the night damming up the water in the adjoining kitchen and bedroom.It was the best birthday thanks to you.Of course, we called the person in charge right away, but he wouldn't answer the phone, so we had no choice but to do something on our own until we got a call the next morning.Of course, until then, men can't go to the toilet, but women can't even go to the toilet. They cannot even enjoy Maslow's lowest level of happiness. It's the worst.During my stay this time, there was a problem with sewage flowing back into the toilet, and I raised the issue with the owner.As for compensation, I have not suffered any pain to myself and have only covered the minimum compensation from the management side.Even though they had wiped off the sewage as an emergency measure, they mysteriously insisted that it wasn't sewage. At least sewage water is not hygienically drinkable.It was not customer friendly at all.The owner suggested we spend the night at another facility, but even at another facility, we had to spend time and money traveling from outside the prefecture.When asked if this person would like to stay at the owner's facility, the answer is no.The aforementioned hotel, which is about 9,000 yen cheaper, is much more comfortable and satisfying.As a service provider, I felt no pride or professionalism.I would like a full refund of my time and money. I regret that I spent so much time and money just to make it uncomfortable.I'm writing this here because I don't want to at least expose people who feel the same way.If you’re lucky enough to find this message before your stay, consider yourself fortunate! This lengthy and somewhat chaotic text is strongly recommended for your reading. It aims to protect your valuable time and money.In short, the price and quality do not match at all. Therefore, I sincerely recommend staying at a hotel of the same price range. Regardless of what you compare, a hotel at the same price will provide better hospitality, service, and comfort in the space, allowing you to enjoy the simple joy of having basic needs met.I stayed from September 9th, and although it was not peak season, the price was around 84,000 yen per night. The night before, I stayed at a hotel that was approximately 9,000 yen cheaper.I had made the reservation with high hopes to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday in a special place. However, what I experienced over two days was disappointing.First, the air conditioning was an old floor unit that was too small for the “L”-shaped room. It was hard to tell if it was even working. It might work eventually, but enduring the heat for a long time was tough. Thus, if it was too hot, I had to open the windows. However, even with screens, several bugs got in. It was not just one or two, so caution is necessary. Additionally, due to the building's structure, bugs also invaded the bathroom and toilet area, which was particularly disheartening. Despite being in a summer resort surrounded by trees, my room was hot even in early September, making me imagine it would be even hotter from June to August.Moreover, the kitchen sink area was made of wood, which showed significant wear and tear. It could be described as having character, but I thought it would benefit from regular maintenance like varnishing. At the time, I wondered if they just lacked attention to detail.The layout was all integrated, with the bathroom and toilet adjacent to the kitchen, followed by the master bedroom. However, there were no windows in the sleeping area, and the musty smell was unbearable.The bedding was from IKEA, and paying over 80,000 yen for IKEA bedding was disappointing. While all necessary cooking utensils were provided, there were no seasonings, so be cautious. I thought perhaps the fall or winter might offer a better experience, but I reached a complete
