I came here through a recommendation from a friend, and the impression was quite different from the photo on the reservation site. I was especially concerned about hygiene. I was surprised that they ate their meals in a place that looked like a storeroom.Also, there was a moldy smell probably due to the humidity, which gave me a headache and lowered my mood.Overall, I didn't think I would visit again.

It's an accommodation facility, or rather, an old love hotel.I cannot recommend it.

It feels like an old love hotel.The bathtub was traditionally lined with tiles and was cold enough to kill me...my child was slippery and dangerous! It may be a little difficult to wash your baby.You can put anything in Buko no Yu.Even babies could take a bath!The meals were an assortment of frozen foods and processed foods, and although there was a wide variety, it was a bit unsatisfactory when I wanted to eat local food.It was like a private villa along the river, so it was quiet at night, so I was very happy to be able to stay there without having to worry about my child crying at night.I would like to stay again during the carp streamer season★

The hot spring facility is old and crowded with local customers, and there was a person with a picture on his back, probably a local, sitting cross-legged in the sauna. When I looked at the accommodations, I saw a number of Showa era houses lined up.

Worst of all, it was over as soon as I entered. It smells like mold. There are two air conditioners, but one is so covered in mold and dust that it cannot be used. The other one is usable, but I'm curious. The carpet near the window is also moldy. It's hard to breathe. It's worn out.

Visit in September 2023The large-roofed Buko-no-Yu you see in the photo is the main building. The place to stay is about 1-2 minutes walk from here.At best, it feels like an independent cottage. To put it bluntly, it feels like an outbuilding of a grandma's house in the countryside that has been converted into a private room. Since it is independent, noise and privacy are not an issue.The bathroom in the main building is quite nice. Enjoy the hot springs. A lot of local people came too.The meals are quite voluminous. The sesame vinegar dressing was delicious. I thought the beer prices were also reasonable considering the meal was served.Honestly, if you're looking for a stylish, nice and comfortable accommodation, I don't recommend it.However, this is a reasonable and enjoyable inn for those who enjoy the country feel! It's like coming to grandma's house!Personally, my family and I had a fun trip.
