This old style hotel is ran by a very friendly Japanese man. The rooms are with tatami and you sleep on futon with traditional bean pillows. The stairs creak and doors rattle, but the place has a good energy and it’s clean and tidy. Ideal location if you are in the area for fishing at lake Ikehara.

This was my first time using it. I was able to relax in an old-fashioned stay, and the owner was very personable and kind, so I felt good.
