I have stayed at many different accommodations, but this one was the worst.The outside of the room is covered in grass!I asked for the fukufugu plan, but I didn't know where to eat it, and it looked like it would make soup stock.The bath is worse than the public bath in town that I sometimes use!If you don't feel like taking care of your customers, you should close this inn right away. If they want to continue, they need to replace all the staff and train them properly.You should receive it and try again.Anyway, it's the worst of everything.

The free beer was very cold and delicious! Ice cream service is also available from 6am the next day! I'm so happy!I was disappointed because I forgot my hair iron, but I'm glad they loaned me one! It was Refa!Enjoy blowfish! It was so good! I couldn't eat the last meal, so I had it made into rice balls!I could see the Kanmon Bridge lit up from my room, which was unexpected and soothing!The main character of this inn was the blowfish, so I wasn't expecting a bath and had given up on the sauna, but there was a two-person sauna, so I could have it all to myself, and the cold bath automatically refilled when it ran out of water, so it felt good. is! However, the water bath is lukewarm, and personally, I would like the temperature to be below 15℃!There was also a sauna in the morning, which was great!At breakfast, I was given ice in my tumbler 💦 That was helpful!There is a manga, microwave, and water server on the floor where I stayed, so I can use it freely! Overall I thoroughly enjoyed it! I want to go again!

The location is close to Kanmon Bridge, so I think it was good in that regard. However, there were bugs and dirt in the light above the bed from the time I entered it. There is no cover above the light, so I would like them to clean it so that the next customer does not have the same experience as me. When I entered the public bath at night, I was stunned to see citrus seeds flowing in the bathtub. Also, I wish the front desk was a little more kind.
