I was fully satisfied with the business half-board meal. Kuma Shochu's proprietress Sakura was also mellow and easy to drink. The shadow picture of Natsume's Book of Friends is also within walking distance. On the way home from watching the shadow puppets, I went to Taishoken and ate Kumagawa Ramen, which had three 6m noodles.

The room smelled of cigarettes. I think it would be a good idea to leave some deodorant in there as well. The staff are all very nice. The food was also delicious. It seems to be recovering from the flood damage in 2020. There were old places and new places, but it was quiet and relaxing. Good luck!

① I was refused dinner because I had an allergy (immediate answer and didn't even consider it) → Breakfast menu varies depending on the person (I can do it)② The retaining plate of the low table came off.③There was a praying mantis in the room.④It’s hard to watch TV⑤There is no pot in the room⑥There were some staff members who were unpleasant (even if you talked to them, they didn't feel good).⑦ Breakfast has few side dishes and is too salty and sweet.⑧I would like the names and number of guests not to be displayed on the guest room door (this is personal information).⑨There is no refrigerator in the roomThe shared refrigerator smells so bad that I don't feel like using it.⑩The sound of cleaning in the morning is noisy.⑪There is no one at the front desk (no one is there unless you call)

It is located in the city and has good access to pubs etc.The bath is a hot spring, but it's only open until 11pm, so if you go to the third party, you might miss it. At that time, I took a morning bath (from 6 o'clock).Breakfast is also reasonable.The room feels like an old-fashioned inn, so it's not new, but you can relax.

I stayed for 3 nights to observe the Kagoshima National Athletic Meet. It was a very comfortable inn with one night and two meals included, and the food was carefully prepared and plentiful.Some guests may feel that it is old, but the customer service and correspondence were friendly. We heartily recommend this hotel to guests who like a historical and elegant atmosphere.The bath felt great too! It was a very satisfying stay for 3 nights and 4 days!The streets of Hitoyoshi City were also wonderful!
