Wanting to relax quietly in nature, I booked this plan that was ``ideal for going out early in the morning.'' I went to bed with earplugs in at 10 p.m. as a habit of traveling.I woke up at 2 a.m. to the sound of people talking with my ear plugs in. When I checked, I found that the room next door was making a loud noise that could be heard not only in the accommodation area on the 2nd floor, but also in the front desk on the 1st floor.I had no choice but to ask the night shift manager at the front desk on the 1st floor to check the room, and the neighbor turned on the TV at full blast. I think it's normal for a person on duty at a hostel to make regular rounds and deal with any abnormalities or serious violations of etiquette within the building, especially in a wooden school building like this one, where the walls are half glass and the sound is transparent. I thought, why don't the managers usually patrol around 10pm or 11pm the next morning to warn them? When I asked why they wouldn't be careful if there was a loud bang echoing in the hallway late at night, this manager swore that he would never take precautions or take preventive measures. Why don't you say anything to those who don't follow the rules? This is not an inn. It's a mountain village exchange facility, and they have no involvement in the accommodation area on the second floor. There were university clubs and a large group in the room next door. He said that individual customers are welcome to come and go and have fun with the neighbors until late at night, and that they ignore violations of etiquette until the customers request it.Due to the location, mountain climbing, fishing, photography, etc. There are probably many people who use the room for taking pictures or for a quiet trip, and there was a sign in the room asking people to be quiet at night as some people go out to take pictures early in the morning. ”Is what you’re really saying contradictory? It's noisy until 2 a.m., so you can't feel good about leaving early in the morning.As the manager says, don't attract customers on accommodation reservation sites unless you're an inn! Even if you give it to them, please write in the explanation of the accommodation that you will not be accommodated even if it becomes lively late at night because it is a facility where a large number of people interact! Don't mention in your accommodation plan that it's perfect for early morning departures! What annoyed me the most was the manager's nonsense about not being an inn, his behavior as if he was trying to say that it was my fault for staying here even though I had good manners, and his apology for making so much noise until I had to close the front door. He stubbornly imposed his own ideas on the hotel without any words of farewell.Normally, people in the hospitality industry would say things like apologizing for the hotel's inconvenience and positively considering the guest's opinion, and there was trouble. We must make every effort to make our customers feel as comfortable as possible when they depart. Mountain climbing fishing photos If you want to spend a quiet time in nature, do not stay at this inn.The management does not respect good manners.Also, there are many stink bugs. It was full of bugs, and it got into my bed, and when I was having a drink, it got in my belly.It would be difficult for people who don't like bugs to use it.This was the worst Tadami Town Yamamura Exchange Facility.

A full-time principal (new administrator) has been appointed, and the management policy has changed significantly. The old ``branch school atmosphere'' is no longer there. My diet is no longer a wild vegetable diet like before. If you want to stay at the nostalgic "Forest Branch School", I think it's better not to go.After the manager leaves work, someone called ``the manager's acquaintance'' comes from another prefecture in the evening. The current management team, both principal and staff, are not from Tadami and do not have much understanding of local culture and traditions.The classroom is equipped with a large TV and a karaoke box, and you can also order alcohol. A sofa bed is placed on top of the long-pile carpet, and large cushions are also arranged. It's more like a "bar" than a "branch school." Perhaps the next one will be a mirror ball.The toilet was dirty, so I took it upon myself to clean it. I had discarded some half-finished PET bottles, so I washed them all and separated them. Food scraps were mixed in with the non-burnable trash, which was rotting and emitting a foul odor throughout the hallway. It's terrible.Tarps with pillars are left out in the schoolyard. There was a simple barbecue stove and several camping chairs whose owners were unknown. A large bag full of garbage was lying on the outdoor cooking table. The "sink" at the entrance was used as a place to wash boots. I had no choice but to give up cooking in the schoolyard.

An experience-based inn that uses a branch school as an accommodation facility. We stayed at a lot of guesthouses. You can take an alternative bath at a nearby large facility, and breakfast is included. We had dinner in Tadami Town.

When I searched for cheap accommodation on Okuaizu Touring, this was the cheapest one. I stayed alone in a large room of about 23 tatami mats in the music room. For the bath, I received a bathing ticket for ``Kinosato Yurari,'' which is about a 10-minute drive. Since I was staying overnight without meals, I ate zaru soba at Fukazawa Onsen Murayu next door. Although it's in the mountains, there are private houses next door, so it's not that lonely. As a rider, my car is parked on the road and on the ground, so I need a stand support.There are also hammocks and board games.

It was a wonderful inn with a hearth and a peaceful place to spend time.For meals, you can enjoy rustic country cuisine in the best sense of the word. Autumn eggplant, pumpkin, e.t.c...Pickled cucumbers go perfectly with rice. The rice was delicious and I had 3 bowls. The miso in the miso soup was also very delicious.

I went during the July holidays of 2023.Due to the altitude, it is cool even in summer.It's a school classroom, so it's spacious enough to make you feel nervous if there are only a few people staying in the room.The food is neither ryokan-style (sashimi, tempura...) nor training camp-style (just high calorie), but is made with local ingredients and is very natural and delicious.I thought that if I ate something like this every day, I would live a long life.There is nothing around us except nature.It was a starry night sky. The Milky Way was also clearly visible.How to photograph the Milky Way (iPhone)1. Prepare a tripod for your smartphone (it's cheap, so it's OK).2. The iPhone automatically detects the tripod.You can now take exposures of up to 30 seconds in night mode.(If you have it in hand, it will take 10 seconds no matter how hard you try)3 Take a photo. There is no need to install a separate app.
