Considering the price, I can't help it.Three outlets in one place. Be careful with big adapters.The refrigerator is cold at 15 degrees Celsius. It's helpful because there is a display.There were many other things as well, which were interesting.Grandma noticed that it was difficult to find electricity in the bathroom, so she brightened up the hallway.Thank you, kind grandma.If it can be renovated while retaining its old image, this inn will be a target for inbound tourists.

The restaurant Itajinzo Zashiki, which was completed in 1933, is a registered tangible cultural property (building).I think that because the hotel calls itself a restaurant and inn, expectations are high, and the resulting evaluation is low.It's a good inn if you don't think of it as a restaurant, but think of it in terms of value for money.The breakfast is too rich, so I can make ends meet by having one breakfast item for dinner.The building is really old. The pillars, beams, ceiling, and stairs are beautiful.It just doesn't take full advantage of its age. It may be unavoidable, but unsophisticated posters and other items are ruining the oldness.It seems to be run by an elderly couple, but they are looking for a successor who has the will to preserve the old things.NotePayment is in cash only. I have a dog.Follow upEach room is separated by shoji screens and sliding doors, and there are no keys.There should be no aluminum sash on the windows.You can easily imagine that winter is extremely cold.It's been a while since I was able to sleep on a heavy futon other than feathers.Naturally, if you're staying in an old building with a lot of history, that should be your goal in and of itself.In that sense, the accommodation is as expected.

I used it as the main dish for this trip.If you follow the directions on Google Maps, you will find the parking lot behind the building on a gravel-like area.Please note that the opposite side of the street in front of the building is not the parking lot for Itajin.

Accommodation costs around 14,000 yen, and dinner includes photos, miso soup, and sashimi.Frankly speaking, I was disappointed. As you can imagine, the facilities are probably intentionally left inconvenient. Although I was prepared for the facilities, I had high expectations for the food.For those who enjoy the atmosphere, please

This is a lovely inn in an old folk house. Personally, I feel sorry for the elderly person working there, but she was so cute that it reminded me of my grandmother and made me feel warm ☺️ It was an old inn that was typical of an old private house, but it was well-maintained, comfortable to spend time in, and the bath was nice. It was the type of family bath that you would enter if it was empty, and for some reason the lighting was a funny color and it was open until 9pm.☺️The food was a little less than I expected, but it was a unique and valuable experience. My heartfelt wishes are for the health and happiness of all those who work here.

It is a long-established inn that was built over 100 years ago, and the proprietress is friendly and is mentioned in Ryotaro Shiba's book ``Going on the Highway.''
