Many of the meat-based dishes will fill you up, but the delicate small side dishes that combine wild vegetables with seafood are also exquisite. The inside of the hotel is very comfortable with casual ornamental plants displayed everywhere. The service is also polite. I want to go again.

I visit several times a year for business at nearby facilities, but this is my first time using this inn.It's right in front of the station and there's a small supermarket like a convenience store next door, so it's very convenient.As others have said, the food is plentiful, beautifully presented, and delicious.Please note that there is no refrigerator in the room.

The food wasn't half good. Being able to experience a meal served over an irori hearth felt somehow luxurious.
