The scenery was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff was kind. The children were happy to look for crabs🦀 everywhere in the garden. After the meal, there was a half-outdoor room with table tennis and toys for the kids to play with, so we had fun.There were G and crabs, and I thought they were living in symbiosis with nature.There were crabs in the bathroom too. There was lolThe online quote said that infants with futons and meals were free of charge, but it cost half the price of an adult, so I think it's better to check before making a reservation! Overall, I was satisfied because it was a quiet place where I could fish, was surrounded by nature, the room was clean, the view was good, and the food was delicious!

Cockroaches and geckos in the hallway, and cockroaches and cockroaches in the large Japanese cypress bath.There are huge cockroaches all over the place.There are sprays for insects in various places, but even after exterminating cockroaches, the dead cockroaches are left alone.There was already a dead body in the hallway when I checked in, so there was no sign that the hallways were being cleaned until the next day.Anyway, the public bath is amazing. There are holes in the tree at my feet, and perhaps cockroaches and crabs are coming in through them. Anyway, it's completely different from the photo.Also, the water pressure in the shower in the public bath was surprisingly weak.It's hard to see because the lighting is dark, but I think there are quite a few.Definitely not recommended for people who are afraid of insects.Oh, and fishing was free for hotel guests!The scenery was beautiful and it was fun.

I feel like everyone is misunderstanding something about the ratings here. To be clear, I think this place is on the level of a world heritage site. The room has a constant scent of cypress, the incredible cypress bath, the pier where you can certainly fish, and the chef's skill is incredibly delicious. However, the cypress here is really dangerous. If there is a better world of cypress in the world than here, please let me know. I had a happy space. I've never been to an inn where I could enjoy the scent of cypress so much, and it was the best, and the food was amazing. This is an inn that you should experience once in a lifetime.

We felt so relaxed we booked an extra night. Well with the visit and we will be back again next year!Thank you again, Rachel and Alex.
