Due to some circumstances, I was unable to arrive during the check-in time, but I was able to stay comfortably thanks to the friendly staff. thank you. There are also two artificial turf dog runs on the premises that you can use freely. The lights were on at night, and although it was late, I was able to use it.[Yuzuhiko], who hurt his right leg and goes to the hospital, is running. It's been years since I last saw it...I think it was fun. Even dogs understand. Does this mean this is a fun place?I would like to use it again if I have a chance.

I stayed in a detached type 2LDK cottage. It was spacious and comfortable.

Anyway, it's filthy and full of dust. The visible floors and sinks had been cleaned, but the sides of the stairs, the back of the toilet, the windows, the edges of the floor, the ceiling, slightly higher areas, and the air conditioner were full of dust, with several millimeters of dust accumulating. Masu. I can only assume that no one had stayed there recently and that they hadn't cleaned it at all during that time. Perhaps the highly rated reviews are fake, or perhaps the operator created an account and commented on it himself. Also, in the response to the review, they said that it would be improved, but I feel that I was deceived by that. It's filthy anyway. There was also steam in the bathroom, and the caretaker was only there during the day, so we cleaned it ourselves. I would like to receive a cleaning fee. I will never come again. I feel like I was scammed out of a large amount of money.

In any case, it hadn't been cleaned, and lumps of dust were collecting on the window sun, the toilet floor, the walls of the parlor, and the edges of the door sills. Moreover, even the air conditioner was covered in dust. There was no caretaker around after 5pm, so I cleaned the room myself using Quickle cleaning supplies. The bathtub also had hot water scales on it, so I washed it myself with a towel and body soap. The inside of the refrigerator is dirty and unusable unless you wipe it with a wet towel yourself. There was a lot of dust hanging from the ceiling of the tatami room. . It was really terrible. Even if the building is old, it would be understandable if it was thoroughly cleaned, but I think they are not doing so. Although the sheets had been changed.Breakfast is also scheduled for around 8am (even though it's a bento) and I wanted to leave early in the morning, but I can't. Fukushima's level may be like this, but I don't think it would be worth it if it were any other tourist destination.

Third stay during summer trip.Beko from Hello Hello. This is an iron plate.Mostly for BBQ. I bought expensive meat and local ingredients at Benimaru and went straight to Beko.After letting my stressed out dog play at the dog run, we had a BBQ.Enough for two people. However, the sausage is spicy. Sake is smooth.The baths are average, but there are day-trip hot springs nearby, so it's enough to sweat.Next time I might rent a BBQ set and bring my own ingredients.

I recently visited this property located in the forest, hoping to get some refreshment in nature with my dog. However, when they arrived, a very unpleasant experience awaited them.I was amazed from the moment I entered the room. The wallpaper had large dirty stains and looked unclean. There were traces of dog urine on the sofa, clearly showing that it hadn't been properly cleaned. Additionally, there was dust in the corners of the room and it looked like it had not been cleaned. Hygiene management was not maintained at all and it was very unpleasant.I made a reservation with confidence because the reviews on Google were high, but when I actually visited, I couldn't believe how bad the reviews were. I had no idea that the place I chose to be comfortable with my dog could be so lacking in cleanliness.I feel very angry that I was forced to live in such an unsanitary environment. Although the staff's response was not bad, the cleaning was not done thoroughly and there are major problems with the management system. I will never use this facility again and cannot recommend it to others. We request the facility manager to make immediate improvements.

I'm an indoor person, so for some reason I booked a stay at a cottage for the first time. I thought there would be nothing left, so I gathered everything from bath towels and hair dryers to insecticides, but my fears were completely unfounded.It is true that the building is old, but it is very clean, the towels and sheets provided are clean, cooking utensils, tableware, and even pesticides are available, and the necessary amenities are available 24 hours a day in the center house. I was told that I could take it away whenever I wanted.Not a single insect, which I had feared, came into the room during the two nights in late May (this might not happen in hotter weather, but it can't be helped since it's a place rich in nature. ).The grounds look like a nice villa area. The lights were kept low at night, and I could see many stars even in front of my cottage. I was happy to be able to find my zodiac sign (Leo) for the first time.They lent me a hammock for free, and I had the luxury of taking a nap in a hammock for the first time.Basically, you only need to talk to the front desk staff when handing over the keys, and then you are free to spend your time as if you were in your own home. However, they were very kind in responding to any necessary consultations. thank you very much.The only thing is that the building is old, so there was a slight smell, the ventilation fan was running all the time, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping water even when it was closed. However, I could tell that the old building was carefully maintained and continued to be used. Someday, I would like to visit a cottage with an open-air bath with my family and cat.
