I made a reservation after seeing the high reviews for the food and baths here. When I tried to stay the next day after a consecutive holiday, I was really surprised to hear that I had to choose udon, curry, hamburger, or fried chicken for 1,000 yen for weekday dinner, and 500 yen for freshly baked toast, coffee, or orange juice in the morning. Ta. There are no Tojisoba or breakfast dishes in the photo.Also, on weekdays, you can only use the indoor bath and not the open-air bath. Even though this information should be provided before making a reservation, it was unpleasant to have it provided later. Please note that there are no recent hotel reviews listed.

I stopped by on a day trip to take a bath.The staff were friendly and I was able to spend my time comfortably.The building was old, but the bathroom was clean and nice.Hot water ♨️ will make your skin smooth.There was also an open-air bath.

This is an old-fashioned guesthouse located on the top of the mountain. Even in the summer, the nights are cool and comfortable. I felt calm even though there was nothing there.The owner seems to have changed, so the food menu has changed, but the service and room comfort seemed to be good.I will use it again when I go to Nagano.

An inn near Nomai Pass Ski Resort.I use it every winter, and I think it is different from other lodgings for ski resorts nearby.Each meal is carefully prepared and no matter what you eat, it's very delicious, and the local ingredients such as soba are arranged into salads and other delicious dishes.There are a wide variety of breakfast options that can be eaten with porridge.Of course, I was very satisfied with the quantity.The rooms and baths are clean, and the quality of the hot spring water is thick, which is especially nice for women.The entire inn is kept well-maintained, and the interior is thoughtfully decorated.I look forward to going there with my family every year, and no matter who I bring, everyone loves it.

It was really slow. I think it was good for me to have nothing in moderation. The food was very good. I understand that you are willing to put in the effort. Every corner is well maintained and clean.

I came here for sightseeing in Matsumoto, but it's really far from the city center. About 40km. But the environment makes up for it. There is no TV or clock in the room, so you can relax. There are baths and stalls, but it's pitch black at night and you can't see anything. So, the open-air bath in the morning was the best. The water is lukewarm. It was raining and freezing the night we arrived, but we warmed ourselves by the fireplace at the entrance. There is a cafeteria where you can eat dinner. The toilet is also shared. The first floor is old, but the second floor was probably renovated and was clean and equipped with a washlet.

I was very happy with the hearty food, the cleanliness everywhere, and the warm attention to detail. I was impressed by the warming hot springs and the white birch trees that I could see from the window. Although it is very far away, I would definitely like to go again if I can!!

The food is delicious and the open-air bath is great! Beyond the open-air bath is a birch forest, and in winter you can enjoy the hot spring while looking at the snowy scenery (^O^)

I am sorry that we arrived late at night, but thank you very much for kindly preparing a bath for us. Both breakfast and dinner are delicious and full of variety.On the last day, I couldn't ski due to rain, but I was able to get some delicious cheese at Shimizu Farm at Nogi Pass 🐮

The food was delicious and to my liking. The Touji soba was delicious with a strong dashi stock and mushrooms.Each item tasted good.The fish was also eaten while it was still warm.Next time I would like to go during the wild vegetable season.

There is no TV or radio in the room, but you can relax. You can lay out your own futon and sleep whenever you like. The food is creative and delicious. A refrigerator is available in the hallway for those who need it. The hot springs were also good.

The hot springs were great, the food was delicious, the view of the white birch forest from the window was amazing, and the room was retro from the Showa era, so I could hear the footsteps of other guests walking down the hallway.

If there are other guests staying with you, you can enter the hot springs for a day trip. Both the clean indoor bath and the open-air bath overlooking the white birch forest are great.

I came here for a day trip to the hot springs. ||Although it was a weekend, we arrived at the hot springs opening at 3 o'clock, so there were no guests staying yet, so we were able to use the hot springs privately, …

I knew it had a high rating on Google, but there are only a handful of accommodations where I felt as comfortable as this one. I arrived a little before check-in, and as I was wandering around the area, the landlady came outside and greeted me, allowing me to put my bike in a covered storage room. The food was delicious and each dish was carefully prepared! Although the bath is small, it has an open-air bath...you can regain the peace of mind that you tend to forget every day. This is such an inn.
