My first private lodging.A foreigner, a pilgrim from Oita prefecture, and a young biker from Osaka hit it off.The proprietress is also friendly and makes you feel at home.At night, you can have a drink, so it's a good inn for drinking.

Although it is an old building, I really liked the inn.I apologize for giving 2 stars due to some mistake (probably an operation error on my part when I was drunk).The Todoroki waterfall that we were shown around at the hotel was excellent ✨

Booked on the same hotel for two people, the price is very cheap, and you have your own independent room👍The room is very warm, with heating and back warmers. It is a pity that the wind was very strong on the day of check-in, which made the doors and windows of the ancient house rattle, making it difficult to sleep at night Not very good😂

It's not as convenient as a hotel, but I think it's worth it to enjoy the inconvenience.

A Taiwanese friend of mine used it to participate in a trail running competition. The room in the annex had a kotatsu, kerosene stove, and electric blanket to keep us warm from the cold. When I told them that the kotatsu in the common space was a traditional Japanese heating device, they were very interested and happy. Above all, the hospitality of the owner was everything, and I was able to stay very comfortably and with peace of mind. I can only thank you for listening to my impossible request. I'm really glad I stayed here. I rarely come to Hiwasa, but it made me want to use it again. Next time I'll visit the bar! thank you for helping me.
