The meat for dinner had a different color and a smell.The other dishes were delicious and the room was clean, but I don't think I'll be visiting again because the response to that issue was a bit questionable.

The young proprietress' customer service upon arrival was very good and easy to understand.The room was well-maintained, clean, and had floor heating, making it very comfortable! There are also plenty of free drinks and snacks.There were two baths, one indoors and one outdoors. The indoor bath is a little lukewarm, but you can soak in it for a long time. The open air is hot and lukewarm, so you have to stir it well, but the hot water is very good and makes your skin smooth and warm, which is wonderful!The food seemed to be made with good quality ingredients, the meat was very delicious, and the rice was also delicious! I also recommend the tankaku beef that I ordered as it is soft and delicious! !Unfortunately, although the food was delicious, many of the dishes were more like home-cooked meals than ryokan cuisine. There was only one type of sashimi...the explanation of the meal was only on paper, no verbal explanation......the spinach was served as it was...... Even though the price is pretty good, the content makes me think.I woke up early in the morning to the loud sound of the car's sliding door opening and closing, probably because I was getting ready.I think the food will be very satisfying for young people, and the view from the bath is highly recommended! ! If it's sunny, you can see Mt. Iwate and it's amazing!Compared to Shikitei, I can definitely recommend this one due to its better customer service, room quality, and facilities!

The bath was really great! !The open-air bath was very large and we enjoyed it as a couple.It snowed heavily that day, and being outdoors in the snow was amazing.The food is also delicious and good.As others have written, it is a bit troublesome to arrange the meals.I think we are thinking about how to provide services efficiently as there are not many people around right now.My husband and I are troublesome, but it's not that I don't like it.In fact, you can eat all at once to a certain extent.than served slowlyIt was great because I could eat whatever I wanted!It's a good place to go for a bath.If the location is not too far, this is a ryokan that I would like to visit often! ,

[2019.4]The facilities and baths are all good, but the food is a bit...you'll find out when you come.[2023.12]Unfortunately, there was no snow and the weather was cloudy, but there was still good water and a good view.

If you enter from the prefectural highway, you will be on a dark road with no outside lights, so please drive safely.When you arrive, call out to the building in front of the building and the landlady will show you around.The room and bath are perfect.The indoor bath is located a little high up, so people with mobility issues may have a hard time getting into it.The open-air bath is large enough to accommodate 8 to 10 adults.In both cases, you can adjust the amount of hot water from the faucet.Be careful not to add too much as it will be hot. *Really hotThere are also many towels.Dinner will be brought to you and you will have to set it up yourself, but if you ask, they will set it up for you.See photo for alcohol.Beer is only available in bottles. No draft beer.There is no chuhai or sour type.Sake, wine, and sparring are available as per the menu.All orders are placed using a touch panel.The refrigerator includes canned beer, tea, oolong tea, etc., which are included in the room rate.There are dishes other than the course, but they close early so you need to order early.Since it is not a heating system that uses solid fuel, the meat will become cold over time.This is probably difficult because there is a risk of fire.Breakfast was also brought to you and you set it up yourself.I guess it depends on the time of year, but there are stink bugs, so I use duct tape to get rid of them. *There is duct tape.I'd like to think it was a coincidence, but on the day I stayed, the male guests next door (two? three?) were making noise in the open-air bath until midnight, and their voices could be heard all the way to the room, which was unpleasant.I couldn't sleep and thought about calling the front desk to warn them, but it was already past midnight, so I held back.It was the same in the morning.Although it is a detached house, the open-air bath next door and the window of the room are close.If there's a selfish customer next to you, it might be a bad day.It's a question of guest morale, so the accommodation isn't bad.I think the accommodation fee is reasonable.I became a member.I would like to stay again.

This hot spring hotel has a high degree of privacy. Someone will take you directly to your room as soon as you get off the car. When you check in, you will be asked to use the tablet on the counter to check-in and communicate with the waiter via video conference. Maybe they are still using Covid-19 service standards to receive customers, so the waiters will try their best not to contact you directly, and even food delivery will only be delivered to the corridor near the door indoors, and you will be asked to get the food yourself. You can enjoy it in the room. After you finish eating, you have to put the plate back in the corridor and wait for them to clear it away. Although it is inconvenient, due to the epidemic service standards, it is acceptable. The room was very new, clean and comfortable. Free drinks are available from the refrigerator, and a coffee machine and instant electric water machine are provided. I chose this hotel because it has two hot springs, one indoors and one outdoor. Both are so big that eight people can bathe together without feeling crowded. The best thing is that the temperature of the hot spring water can be adjusted by yourself, because the hot spring water comes out through the water pipe, so if you want it to be hotter, you can open it a little larger, and if you want it to be less hot, you can close the water pipe first. It's real hot spring water, so it should be helpful to your skin. Warm reminder, you should take a dip in the outdoor hot spring around 7am in the morning, because you will see the fairyland-like clouds and mist. After a while, the mist will gradually dissipate, and a picture will appear in front of you. It is really beautiful! The whole room is really comfortable. There are two air conditioners in one living room and one room. There is also an air freshener in the room. There are only two aspects that I cannot give full marks to. One is the food. The food is not very exquisite and diverse, so it is not very surprising, but the ingredients are indeed very fresh, especially the vegetables! On the other hand, I cannot give full marks to the location. It is quite remote, and it is on a trail on the main road that turns up the mountain. There are no signs, so I drove around twice before realizing that the trail was a bit inconvenient. In summary, I personally think this hotel is very good and relaxing. The price is really impressive! Worth recommending!

I found this inn while looking for a place to stay on the day of the Omagari fireworks, and it was very nice, the bathroom and room were large and had a great view. The food was delicious, but the food was only delivered to the entrance of the room, and from there I had to bring it to the table and serve it myself (coronavirus-friendly). There are so many plates that it's difficult to carry them, and in many cases in Japan, women are forced to do this, so I would have appreciated it if someone carried them to the table for me.
