I stayed in the annex.Although it was cheap, I could use the facilities in the main building and it was comfortable enough.Please be careful when using Google Maps as the access route will lead you down a difficult path.

It's a beautiful place. You can also eat there. This place used to be a campo inn.If you search for a destination on Google Maps, you will be given extremely narrow directions, so be careful!

Perfect for families who want to relax and unwind.It's far from the city, so it's difficult to go to a local izakaya, but for food, you can enjoy the price, taste, and atmosphere at the outdoor-style ``Nagi'' attached to the hotel.
