I think almost 100% of people travel with dogs. The problem is that the room is small. There's no refrigerator either. (There is a communal refrigerator) However, the hearty food was delicious and the water in the open-air bath was the best.

The food was really delicious. I could also feel the love he had for Wanchan. It was great to have an open-air bath. I would also like to go there in the fall.However, I was disappointed that I couldn't get a call even though I wanted to work because there was no cell phone signal.

I stayed with my daughter, grandson, and 3 dogs (medium and small).A common problem at pet-friendly accommodations! This is no good! It was a laid-back inn where the only policy was to leave the dog alone at home (leaving it in the room).When I go out, I bring all the supplies for my dog, but I have everything, and the only thing I brought with me was the sheets for the bed, and it's perfect.Coffee was always available at the dog run, and we spent about an hour relaxing after arriving.There are other accommodations nearby, so you may need to take precautions even if you are staying at an accommodation that allows pets.There were only two groups of guests staying that day, so we were able to enter the two private hot springs without worrying about time, and although they said they were being disinfected, we didn't notice any chlorine odor.Needless to say, the food was delicious, and the red wine I ordered was a delicious Pinot, even though it was still young.Although the room was not large, there was no pet odor and the duvet was soft and down, so I was able to sleep soundly until morning.There are some wonderful pet-friendly inns in Urabandai, but this one was impressive because of the warm customer service from the owner, who (I feel) is a dog lover.Also, thank you very much for your undue consideration for my grandson, who did not ask for bedding or food. I'll visit you again.(When I heard the bill, it was so cheap that I thought I had made a mistake in my calculations.LOL)

I stayed with my dog.You can also eat with your dog at the restaurant. There is a dog run in front of the building and free coffee.The food is very delicious and you can choose between a dinner course fee and a Japanese or Western meal for breakfast.It's within walking distance to Lake Akimoto, so it's recommended for walks with your dog!

I visited with my dog.The room was well-maintained and I felt clean and comfortable.Meals include appetizers, soups, fish, meat, desserts, and other carefully prepared dishes.The duck confit was delicious.The dogs were very happy to be able to play in the snow not only in the dog run in the garden but also in a nearby secret pond. The owner of the inn also loves dogs and took care of us a lot. I was also given a photo as a gift on the way home, which made my heart full.The only thing is that the smell of chlorine in the hot spring was too strong, probably due to disinfection, so if you like hot springs, we recommend using a day trip hot spring nearby.Other than that, I am very satisfied and would like to visit again.
