The ``Umayaki'', which is healthy horse meat coated with a ``secret sauce'' supervised by the head chef and grilled, was simply the best!The juicy and flavorful horse yaki with the sauce is delicious! !

I had a good impression of the staff's response, and it was a child- and baby-friendly inn.Baby soap, sponge for washing baby bottles, detergent, Milton set (containers and tablets), trash can for diapers, toys and picture books (just right for my 3 year old son)There was also a place for the baby to lie down in the changing room of the family bath.Dinner can be enjoyed in a relaxing private room, and there are bouncers and high-low chairs in the breakfast and dinner venues.It was very slow.The dinner was delicious, including horse sashimi and mustard lotus root.

The service was attentive, and the food and family baths were great. It was raining, but they lent me an umbrella and kept my luggage even after I had checked out, which was very helpful. Next time I would like to stay for 2 or 3 nights.

I used the children's plan when traveling from outside the prefecture. I was impressed by the way they consulted me about various things beforehand, the hospitality I received after I arrived, and the thoughtfulness that went into every area. The room was very clean and the food was delicious.

It is very beautiful as it was recently made. I used it because I was staying in the main building. I was surprised to find that the lounge where you can drink drinks and the space where you can have coffee are very spacious, and the hot spring bath that can also be used as an open-air bath, as well as the high-class sauna, which is unlike anything you'll find in Tokyo. I was healed by the good taste of Japanese music!
