I think the prices are standard.The rooms and meals are not bad considering the price, but is it worth it? Do you recommend it? If you ask me, it's just about safe, I wouldn't say you should stop using it, but I wouldn't recommend it either.However, I was the last customer for dinner, and the food was left over from the previous morning. It was old and tasteless.The food I had for breakfast wasn't old, so I reused it. I think it's better to stop for dinner here if possible.The side dishes are also worth the price.The bath had some bad reviews on the internet, but it was fine with no floating scales.However, I think you would be happier if you paid one more fee and stayed at another hotel.

Used for business. Due to the coronavirus, I requested that the 3 Japanese-style rooms I had originally booked (planned to accommodate 11 people) be changed to a single room, but with a slight increase in price, each person could use a 4-person Japanese-style room. Dinner and breakfast were also very good.The inside of the building is a good size, so it was easy to get to and from the room, including the large bath and lounge.The parking lot in front of the hotel entrance can only accommodate about 4 cars, so it is generally better to park in the lower parking lot.
