Although it was an old-fashioned inn overall, it didn't give me the impression of being shabby. The view of the mountains while taking a bath in the open-air bath in the room was beautiful. When we were moving to dinner, he showed me to a private room in the back even though I didn't say his name, and he seemed to remember the faces of the guests very well.I think I received better service and customer service than the price.

The hospitality of the staff was very good and I felt comfortable.It was a twin room, but the outlet tap was not fixed and could be used freely, so there was no cover for the convenient surface wiring.Each requires some ingenuity when using them.I was a little disappointed that there was no screen door so I couldn't let outside air in and I couldn't watch the BS.The food was delicious and I was very satisfied.

Customer service is mostly satisfactory. Food quantity is sufficient, but seasoning is average. The soup I received at the end was a bit salty, the cooked rice was the best, and the ceramic grill was delicious, but the sauce had no personality and I would like to see some improvement. The wild vegetable tempura was over-fried and I was not impressed.

5/5
A Japanese-style hotel with a simple exterior and a nice interior.A hotel with clean water is a good hotel.The area around the large public bath is a special tatami mat that is very comfortable for the soles of your feet, and the washing area is a bit spacious so you don't have to worry about your own suds running off to other people as the water drips down to the board.You can smell the disinfectant a little when you're around the jet bath, but it's good to see that they'll never tolerate this legionnaire.The changing room also has curtains hanging between the shelves, so you can hide the face of the person next to you who is changing.Hotel names with "new" in them are common names for nice hotels from the Showa era. This is a good hotel that has been accepting groups for a long time.
