Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and plentiful. The room type I booked had a shared toilet, sink, and refrigerator, which was a bit inconvenient, but both the toilet and sink were very clean, new, and comfortable. As for the bath, the cypress bath was in use, so I had no choice but to take the rock bath, and it was quite nice.

I stayed here for a yoga event.It has a retro atmosphere, but the toilet and sink are very clean.There are two types of baths, and it's nice to be able to use them 24 hours a day, and in addition to bath mats, absorbent sheets are provided.I was surprised at how rich and delicious the food was! lolSince I stayed for 2 nights, I felt very happy thinking that I would be able to eat this food again tomorrow (^O^)I had a lot of fun and had great memories, so I would like to use it again someday. I couldn't see the starry sky, so I want to see the starry sky, and I also want to eat delicious food ♡

Thank you for taking care of me at a yoga retreat for 2 nights from September 14th. The shore of Lake Shirakaba is right in front of you, it's quiet and has a nice view, and it's a great place to take a walk or exercise.This time we used a room with a shared bath, toilet, and washroom. There are two baths, a cypress bath and a rock bath, which can be reserved for private use, and the toilet and washroom are very clean and well-maintained, so I never felt any inconvenience.Above all, the owner's family and staff were very kind and warm and the hospitality was the best!And the food was very delicious. Dinner was a luxurious course meal, and everything from appetizers to dessert was delicious.The breakfast was also excellent, with freshly baked bread and omelettes.This time I used it in the fall, but there is a ski resort nearby so it would be nice in the winter as well.

I wonder what it isThe food was delicious, but I developed an allergy and it became a big problem.The room is small, but the cleaning is spot on.The wife is a bit unfriendly.It might be better to spend the money and stay at Ikenotaira Hotel.

The rice is delicious and fills you up. There is no need to take a bath 24 hours a day.
