It was my first time there. The food was delicious and the staff were all kind. Thank you very much for warming up the food for my 13-year-old dog. This time I would like to go with my whole family.

This is my second stay in early October 2023.Our pet dog Taiyo is staying at a pet accommodation, the 160th in total.This is the inn where we stayed for the 225th night (2023/3) and 248th night (2023/10).Plan Last time I made a reservation on Rakuten, this time I made a reservation on Rurubu.14,000 yen per person per night including half board (excluding nationwide Kumamon reconstruction discount), 1,500 yen for petsRoom: 2nd floor Japanese-Western room (same room both times), with toilet. There is no refrigerator in the room, but there is a common refrigerator in the hallway.The building is old, but the rooms have been renovated to accommodate dogs. The fatal flaw is that the walls are thin. I can hear the conversation next door normally. Be careful when talking.Bath: Hinagu Onsen It felt like an old-fashioned communal bath that is common in hot spring areas. The quality of the hot water doesn't have any characteristics and feels soft. By the way, there was only one shower, so I had to draw hot water from the bathtub the whole time. There is no open-air bath or sauna.The most important thing is that the water is fed directly from the source.P.S. All shower wash areas have them.It seems that one part of the women's version is bad. My wife said the same thing last time.Meal location: Pets are allowed in a separate room.Dinner is Japanese and Western style. I was really surprized. It's delicious.Sashimi (sea bream, yellowtail (maybe Kanpachi), mackerel) are among the top three of all time for me. It was as delicious as the sea bream sashimi I had at Sui, a tuna and seafood restaurant in Regina Karuizawa. I wish I had double the amount.The crab shell gratin and soup stock were also good.The grilled sea bream was also fatty and good.The famous full moon fried tomato was smaller than I expected, but considering the amount, it was a reasonable size.Breakfast was standard, but we had Hinagu's specialty chikuwa.We were very satisfied with the meal. Confirmed to repeat next time.The second time was only six months ago, so the dinner was pretty much the same, but it was consistently delicious.Dog-related: No gauge in the roomThere is a foot wipe at the entrance. No washing place.Tableware and pee sheets included.No dog run?Parking: There is a covered parking lot for about 6 cars located 2 houses away from the inn.Note: The street in front of the inn is narrow, so it is easier to access from the hot spring plaza (Banpaku no Yu) side on the north side or from the south side (Gasosta former site). It's best to check Street View for more details. The route guided by the navigation was light size.P.S. There was a convenience store (7-Eleven) nearby. It might be easier to enter from the side of the parking lot.Information WiFi◎ Docomo◎ au○ Y Moba◎ Rakuten◎(Unusually, Rakuten was the best.The antenna was visible.)

I used it when I had a sleepover with my cat.The inside of the museum is like a maze, and it was fun just walking around ^ ^Thank you for taking into consideration the fact that we had rooms on different floors due to the barking of other dogs! !The hot spring felt good too ^ ^The room had everything I needed, which was helpful.Even though I left in the middle of the night, I saw them off.I'm glad you took good care of me!Thank you very much ^ ^

A couple and two cats took care of us. I was able to take my long-awaited overnight trip with my cats who love to go out!First of all, the female staff's response, her smile and kind eyes towards Nekozu are very soothing.I want to give her 10 stars!The building and interior have a Showa-era feel, but the lobby, hallways, rooms, etc. are so clean and odor-free that you wouldn't think pets were coming and going.The hydrogen water in the room was so gentle that it soaked into my body.For meals, you will be moved to a separate large private room with your pet, and I can see that they are taking care to minimize the number of guests coming and going as much as possible to accommodate the presence of pets. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, and the additional sashimi platter we ordered was delicious and filling!The bath is not in a private room, only a large public bath, but it is clean and the quality and temperature of the spring water is excellent!Also, I was thinking about what to write about, but I think there are many people who have similar problems, so I hope it will be helpful...It is also on the website. Personally, I have a large surgical scar and it might shock those present (I also get a little hurt when they're surprised 😿), so I consulted with them and they told me that the time slot will be delayed after other customers have finished bathing. Thank you very much for taking the time to take a bath by yourself!As soon as we entered the room, we heard the sound of the door and the faint barking of a dog, so we talked about being careful with the opening and closing of the door, the sound of footsteps, and the volume of voices. As soon as we started installing the toilets, the two boys were full of energy😼 As soon as the indoor patrol was completed, the first big sports day started, running around, jumping on, and jumping off each other...(sweat) No! Hey! I also shouted out loud... (sweat) After that, we were relaxing, but the second big sports day started at dawn, and it was a bit of a commotion to catch him and put him in the cage we had brought with him (sweat) It's normal at home, but this is as expected. I'm sure there aren't many accommodations that allow cats 💦 Sorry for the noise 😱Thanks to the precious Shiranui Hotel that allows cats, my first trip with a cat group was a memorable and fun trip! One of the great memories was that we were able to take a wonderful commemorative photo on the way home. Thank you very much! I definitely want to go again!

The rooms feel a little old, but they have everything you need, are well-maintained, and have the best value for money for an inn that allows you to stay with your dog.It was nice to be able to take a relaxing dip in the hot springs! !It was also right next to the Hinagu Interchange on the expressway.Although the Hinagu area itself seems a little lonely, it is a great place to take your dog for a walk.If I have a chance, I would definitely stay here again.

I visited with my Labrador. I didn't have to share meals with other guests, and I was able to go straight from my room to a private room, so I was able to enjoy staying with a large dog without having to worry about it.The temperature of the hot spring was just right, and the water was lovely with Banpeiyu in it.On the way home, I was very happy with the detailed service they provided, such as taking a photo with the dog and giving it to me as a gift.There were no accommodations that allowed large dogs, and the cost performance was great.I'll visit you again.
