This pension has a very retro feel. The food was delicious and I ended up eating way too much.The hot spring bath in the wooden tub will leave your skin smooth and smooth. It smells a little like sulfur. It's so relaxing that I went there three times.I'm glad I was able to have an extraordinary experience.

The reviews on Google were good, but I wonder why it has such high ratings.The amount of food in the morning and evening was so small that even I, a woman, was not satisfied. The content is not elaborate at all.There are also few garnished vegetables.The bath was a hot spring, but the lid on it to keep it from getting cold was discolored and made me feel uneasy. Also, both the rinse-in shampoo and body soap are green liquids, which is rare these days. It didn't feel like a pension.

I visited on my honeymoon. I'll be getting married next year, so it's been almost 25 years since then. The typhoon had just arrived, so I wasn't able to go for a walk as I had planned, but the warm hospitality here made me feel comfortable, and I now have fond memories of spending time reading manga even though there was a strong wind outside.

Be sure to stay here when skiing in Norikura. It's a full-course meal with fork and knife that I'm not used to, but it's very delicious. It's about a 2 minute walk to the slopes!
