You can take a bath in the hot springs in the main building next door, and you can also have breakfast there. There was a refrigerator in the room and a trash can in the kitchen, so I didn't have any inconvenience. They also have toys and books, so I think it's suitable for customers with children. It was inconvenient that the location was far from a convenience store. I would be more satisfied if dinner was included.

I was very grateful that they kindly accommodated me even though I made a last minute reservation on the same day.I also had a lot of fun teaching me about the trains, signboard posters, etc. inside the museum. This is a fun inn that will interest you even if you don't know much about trains.It's also nice to be able to use the hot springs at the inn next door.The electricity in the room is a pull cord type, the toilet and washroom are shared, and although it is old, it is clean. It had a nice nostalgic feel.

Accommodations where you should check in early and check out lateThere are many facilities and books for people with high iron levels.For bathing and meals, you will have to use the hot spring inn next door to the south, so it might be a hassle if the weather is bad.

I visited on a family trip in July 2023🚃The hall is full of railway goods 😍 My son was very happy ❣️A young woman carefully explained the inside of the building, and we had fun playing in the children's room with Plarail and other toys until check-out time. There are a lot of Thomas 🚂The room was spacious and comfortable. There was an analog TV, railway-related videos, and railway goods displayed in the interior of the room.I was a little uncomfortable sleeping on a futon because I was used to the bed💦You have to go to the hot spring inn next door to take a bath ♨️ The water is hot 😇

If you're not interested in trains, it's just a reasonable inn, but if you're into trains, you can enjoy it whether you're alone or with children. There is also a Plarail room, an N gauge room, and a railway museum that you can enjoy from check-in until night. The building is old, but the rooms are clean and well appointed.What's more, you'll be happy to know that you can bathe in the carefully selected hot springs of the inn next door from check-in to check-out.The best part is the owner's personality. If you like trains, be sure to have a chat with the owner. The owner has had a wonderful experience.

It's the worst, it's a run-down inn...If you think about the round-trip taxi fare, it would be wiser to go to Busiho in front of the station or around Kitami👍

I wouldn't recommend it to the general public as it's a place for enthusiasts to go, but it's full of Showa-style and Japanese National Railways-style atmosphere, making you feel like you've traveled back in time.The room is large, but there are no amenities and the toilet and washroom are shared. Towels and bath towels are provided.You can use the hot spring bath at the inn across the street for free.A mini-railway is being built outside, so the iron content will be even higher.
