A pension run by a husband and wife.This time, I visited with my family of 5.The room we rented had 3 bedrooms, 2 rooms, and a bathroom.After going there, I realized that it wasn't built to be a place where the whole family could relax, so I thought it would be better suited for club members or circle friends.Also, as I knew, the only amenities were towels and no tissues, so I had to take them out of the car.This inn is recommended for those who want to get away from the modern conveniences of life.It was a room with a bath and toilet, but the outside bath was spacious and the artificial hot springs were good for my skin.Dinner was a Western style meal with a good balance of meat and fish dishes, and all the dishes were extremely delicious.However, it was disappointing that there were few types of alcohol. If you had told them your preferences in advance, they might have accommodated you.By the way, I was able to get a second helping of rice.After the meal, you could choose coffee (ice or hot) or apple juice.The morning breakfast was bread and there was nothing special about it.Both dinner and morning meals were served all at once, and the empty plates were filled one after another, so I felt like I couldn't take my time.Overall, there was nothing bad about this pension, but it gave me the impression that there were no recommended points.

This is a pension owned by a friendly couple.It's interesting to read mom's monologue on the homepage.
