It's a small hotel with just 15 Japanese style rooms. The rooftop onsen is a bit small for the lady side while the one for man is a little bigger.Dinner and breakfast are included. We really like the food offered. The place is famous of squids. We had squid sashimi then the tanticals and tail are used for tempura. Delicious!

I used it to eat squid from Yobuko.Although it is an old building, it was a good inn with a taste of its own.The squid I ordered was delicious, and the tempura geso was plentiful, crispy, and very delicious.There is also a sightseeing boat dock nearby, as well as the Yobuko morning market, so we were able to enjoy it even after checking out.

Although I am a germophobe, I had a relaxing time.Although it is an old inn, it is kept clean.The futon was also comfortable.The bath was nice tooI was concerned about the smell that comes from being a little old.This is within an acceptable range.From small dishes to squid, of course.All of them are exquisite and are an inn that I would like to visit again and again.It's close to Yobuko morning market, which is great.

I received Yobuko's squid for the first time in several decades. You can get fresh squid at any store. This is also a moving squid freshly cooked from the fish tank. First, enjoy the sweet, thick, and tender meat as sashimi. After having the sashimi, we will have Geso tempura. Serve the squid with salt and tempura soup, which makes it even sweeter. At the end, I topped it with shishito and sweet potato tempura and made it into a tempura bowl, which was very satisfying. In addition to squid, we also have sashimi, grilled turban shells, steamed egg custard, and of course piping hot squid shu mai. Yobuko is so delicious that you can eat all the squid without getting bored.

The inn is not used!The food itself is delicious and the service is also good.Is it an old saying that people used to say that a blank space on a receipt is "superior"? I felt like I was being made a fool of. For rice, the squid was small and seemed a little expensive. It was very delicious.

The store I was looking for was temporarily closed, so I had it at this store in a hurry.There's only one menu.Live squid set meal only 3,100 yen.I went to Yobuko because I wanted to eat that, so it was totally okay.Live squid, rice, soup, squid shumai (1 piece), mozuku vinegar, fruit, picklesThe squid's legs are still moving and it's fresh!When you finish eating the sashimi, you can have the geso made into tempura, which is very filling.Isn't it just less rice? The bowl is small. There will be a charge for refills.Thank you for the meal!

Yobuko morning market is nearby.Everything was delicious, including the live squid.The rooms are quite old. I was surprised to see a spider.The teapot wasn't washed...The view from the room and the large public bath (capacity 4 people) was great!

I went there for lunch during the period of the once-in-a-decade cold wave. I had a set meal made with live squid.Squid sashimi is delicious. I didn't know that the geso part would be made into tempura later, but this tempura was really delicious.And the white rice is delicious, and the brand name is Yume Shizuku. I didn't know that Saga Prefecture was a rice producer, so this was a new discovery.
