Although it was past the check-in time, thank you for welcoming me warmly.The room I was taken to felt like my own, and I was able to take a good rest. You can take a bath in the public bath until 12:00. The spacious bathtub was constantly filled with hot water and was very warm. Breakfast was the standard fare of grilled salmon and natto, and both the taste and quantity were perfectly satisfying. The inside of the hotel was kept clean and I felt comfortable. It's a good inn.

You can park at the door and the view from the room is very comfortable.It is very close to Maoyue Temple and can be reached on foot.The room is on the second floor, and the receptionist was very kind and helped me carry my luggage to the second floor.The room is large enough to sleep two people, and the bathroom is very convenient and large.If you have nothing to prepare in the morning, you can order breakfast in advance. Of course, you can also buy breakfast from a nearby convenience store the day before.It's dark at night, so it's easy to miss the entrance.Recommended for those who want to go to Motsuji Temple or Chusonji Temple early in the morning.

There's no hot water! Are you washing your face with water at this time of year? I'm sure the photo will fool you. There are a lot of cold places inside the building. There may have been something better nearby. What's the price...?

The location is very good in Hiraizumi. It's very close to Motsuji Temple, so you can easily take a walk in the morning.

I'm glad the cost was low.There was no bath in the room, but the public bath was reserved for private use.What bothered me was that the sound of walking on the floor on the second floor echoed through the room.Also, I don't know if this is related, but the day after I stayed in this room, I had a sore throat in the morning and thought I had contracted the coronavirus.I think it's probably caused by the air conditioner.

Small traditional hotel very well located. No services (or at least our reservation) only a vending machine, but in front you have an izakaya, a sushi restaurant and on the same sidewalk a kind of bar run by two ladies who I recommend going in for a drink at nightOur room was the annex room with a view of a rice field and a private bathroom. Everything very clean. We also used the public bathrooms on the ground floor. The one for individual women and the one for men for two. The room area with shared toilets also looked very clean, with a communal fridge and microwave in the hallway. All Japanese style rooms. The owner is very kind. I recommend it
