I stayed here without meals while touring on my road bike. The view from the room was good, and I think the hospitality was also very good. Approximately 145km along the Arakawa River from Kasai Rinkai Park. It is recommended as a course that can be run in one day. It is also a good idea to stay here for one night and go to Hanno the next day. If you're staying without meals, you won't be able to get food nearby, so it's better to buy some food on the way.

I used it in my company's circle. We can also arrange for a gymnasium in Otaki. It takes about 20 minutes by car to get to the gymnasium, but you can be picked up by the hotel's bus.We stayed in a separate building from the building where the front desk is located. There are 4 rooms, one 9 tatami room and 3 6 tatami rooms. The air conditioner is coin operated and costs 100 yen per hour. There was no refrigerator, but we were able to borrow a cooler box at the accommodation. Yukata, towels, bath towels, and toothbrush sets are provided.The baths are in a separate building, separated by gender, and the men's bath has several showers, so I think it's easy to use.The food uses plenty of local ingredients, and the game is especially delicious. I ate deer, wild boar, and bear, and they all tasted delicious with almost no odor. The additional bear meat I received was surprisingly easy to eat and delicious.The place we stayed at had some old facilities, but we didn't have any inconveniences. Above all, we had a great time thanks to the food and the friendly hostess.I would also like to use it if I have the opportunity. thank you for helping me.

I stayed there with my wife. This inn in Oku-Chichibu is a short walk from Mitsumineguchi, the last stop on the Chichibu Railway. The surrounding area is truly rural and the temperature is lower than in the city of Chichibu.I think the most noteworthy thing is the attention to detail and deliciousness of the food. Dinner is served as soon as the food is ready. Saikyo-yaki Spanish mackerel, roasted venison, stewed beef tendon and radish, wild boar hotpot, stir-fried local rhododendron, fukinotou tempura, and simmered bracken. Everything is freshly made and delicious, with a focus on local ingredients. It's a dish that gives you a taste of Chichibu. The konjac itself in miso konjac is homemade. It has a different elasticity and is simply delicious.The miso soup for breakfast is very delicious with lots of ingredients such as taro, carrot, konnyaku, and radish. Kinpira burdock and pickled plums are both delicious.Since you've come to Oku-Chichibu, you can enjoy local food. The food is really delicious.When you look at the sky at night, the stars are really beautiful. The starry sky at night, the quiet mountains of Chichibu when you wake up in the morning, and the plum blossoms blooming quietly and beautifully all around you.

Although it looks like an old building, it is kept well-maintained, and the proprietress has a good sense of how to place the yukata and the fan.I can hear it. The taste was also utilized in the cooking. It was a series of delicious meals for my family.

I loved the seasonal cuisine and warm hospitality. Comes with towel, yukata, and toothbrush. There is also a service that prepares rice balls for 440 yen for the next day's mountain climbing. There is a toilet in the room, and you take a bath outside.
