First night on a business trip from outside the prefecture 👀 Since it's cheap, you can't deny the sound leakage from the next room, but there is an air conditioner and a fan to maintain privacy 😮‍💨 Shared shower and toilet are enough for this cheap price. Head to Oga, which is an 8-minute walk away, with a hot spring bathing ticket included. It was raining so hard that I felt like I was in the hot springs where my skin was smooth and drenched on foot🤣We recommend traveling by car on rainy days. We have a freezer so that sweetfish anglers can stay overnight 🙆‍♂️A friend of anglers 👍

There are a lot of notes and it feels annoying.The room is small and the TV remote control doesn't work.Poor sound insulation, you can even hear the sound of the futon in the next room rubbing against each other.Cheap is a big advantage

In 2018, thanks to the guidance of the kind owner, I saw a wonderful cave, and thanks to the comfortable accommodation, I have happy memories of living in Hitoyoshi. I want to go back, but I can't because I'm busy with life.

I'm grateful that it's cheap.I keep my room and everything clean,We also provide simple drinks, so you can have a comfortable stay. There are two hot springs at the back of the inn, one of which is open 24 hours and is convenient. It's a little far from the station, but there's a convenience store next door so it's not an inconvenience.

I used it for 3,500 yen per night without meals!I think it's an incredible value. The room is clean and spacious, and there is a Lawson within a 1-minute walk. There is also a hot spring that is open 24 hours a day. You can use as many towels as you want, so it's perfect for those who go to hot springs ♨️It was a very comfortable and comfortable accommodation!It looks like there are 3.4 parking spaces in front of you!

I stayed for 3 nights in a private room. The bed is comfortable, and the room is clean and comfortable with a fan, air conditioner, bed light, chair, desk, TV, and towels. The kitchen has tableware, a refrigerator, cooking utensils, and a table with chairs. There are also seasonings and wraps. Coffee tea was available for free, and the coffee made with the coffee maker was very delicious. A convenience store is next door, a coin laundry is a 1-minute walk away, and a supermarket is a 2-minute walk away. A 24-hour hot spring is also a 2-minute walk away. There are also several other hot springs.
