There is a sink in the room and the toilet is shared. Yukata and bath towels available. However, there are no face towels. You can go out until 10 o'clock. There is a kotatsu.The wife seems to be managing everything by herself, so it feels like staying at a relative's house.I stayed overnight without meals, but there was a Gusto store 10 minutes away on foot and a Family Mart 15 minutes away, so it wasn't too inconvenient.

Although the building is old, I think it is kept well-maintained. It's a hot spring (circulation), and the room is warm with a gas fan heater and kotatsu. Upgrading your meals means adding one more item, so if you're a light eater, I think it's better to avoid it in terms of SDGS.

Considering the price, it's good value for money.Even if you arrive early, you can park your car and take a walk.All the guest rooms are probably on the second floor.The explanation said there was a hot spring on the second floor, but was it actually on the second basement floor, two flights of stairs down? was the bathroom.For some reason, there is a space in the back of the bathroom where several people can lie down, but there is a sign saying not to enter as it is slippery.There is a sink in the room, but the toilet is shared.I think it's fine except for germaphobia.

It's located close to Nikko Toshogu Shrine, and I was able to use the parking lot before checking in, which was very helpful.The meals are handmade by the proprietress and will fill you up.The bath is small, but the hot spring made my skin smooth 🎵

This is a small inn right near Shinbashi. You can walk to Nikko Toshogu Shrine. One night and two meals costs around 8,000 yen.It has a hot spring and is located just a few minutes by taxi from Nikko Station, so I was satisfied. The equipment is old, but the cleaning was done properly. The food was not elaborate, but it was sufficient in quantity and taste. Yuba sashimi was also served.If I were to make a request, I was disappointed that there were no facilities for drinking tea, such as a pot, in the room. It was also a shame that there was no hot water in the vending machines in the building even though it was winter.There were bath towels, bath towels, toothbrush sets, yukatas, etc.Thank you for your help.
