I was very satisfied with the Showa era Japanese room with a view of the Yunohama coast, a signboard cat that welcomed me, the soothing hot springs and sauna, and the delicious food!

Local cats will welcome you.The food is delicious and plentiful. Almost all the dishes are lined up from the beginning, but considering the price, it's within a reasonable range. It takes time to fight each crab. Breakfast is also good.There is no coin laundry in the building, so you should go to a store about 1.3 km away.

it was good. It was so good that I couldn't believe that I could stay there for less than 10,000 yen. The rice was also delicious. I think it would be good to go with one higher plan next time. (This time the most affordable plan)The hot spring was salty, perhaps because it was right in front of the ocean. Is it a family business, or is there a young girl in addition to the landlady? It seemed like the two of them were in charge of customer service. I was grateful for your polite response.Parking is available anywhere in the square in front of the hotel. Also, the entrance road is narrow, but if you're used to driving, you won't have any problems. Recommended!

I have been coming to this inn for about 20 years.Actually, I had made a reservation the other day, but I was disappointed that I couldn't stay there due to the recent heavy rain, but when I talked to my husband who was away on assignment and couldn't go with me this time,It seems that he came across this review out of concern for Mr. Shionkaku, and came to take a look after hearing about things like this and that.I can't stay silent and would like to comment.I know there are many different people out there, and their opinions will be mixed.I understand your comments and suggestions for improvement.However, I was very disappointed when I saw that a small number of people were writing about things that they couldn't do anything about.I want you to stop posting heartless things one by one.When we first stayed at this inn, my husband and I were both in our 20s, and my daughter, who was in elementary school, is now a mother of two.Both my father and son have been fans of Choonkaku for many years.We would like to express our deepest sympathies to those affected by the recent heavy rains, andPlease continue to protect this precious place for us parents and children (๑>◡<๑)I would definitely like to make a reservation again within the year! !We support you in the future! !

Anyway, this is an inn that is very original. As for the food, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The semi-feral cats are also contributing to the healing process!

All the staff were very friendly and made me feel comfortable and at ease. The rice comes with a crab, and the other dishes are also very delicious and cost-effective. It was an interesting inn that was a bit unusual, with cats to play with and a slide ♪ It was a wonderful inn that I would recommend to my friends ✨

We used it as a New Year's party every year for about 30 years before the coronavirus pandemic. With the coronavirus pandemic eased, we were able to gather again for the New Year's party for the first time in a while, but everyone was shocked and disappointed, feeling completely betrayed. The banquet system, etc. had changed completely, and above all, there was no greeting to regular customers (if we do say so ourselves...), so much so that it seemed as if the management had been replaced. Are we stupid for going there with high expectations?All of us said in unison, "We will never come again."

The building itself is a little old, but I am satisfied with all aspects.I used it in the winter, but since there is a sea nearby, I would like to use it again in the summer!·roomMy wife and I took a room with a sea view. It feels a little old, but the toilet, air conditioner, and dryer have been relatively new.It was winter when I used it, but there was an electric fan heater installed in the room, so I was able to use it without feeling cold.·bathThere is a bath on the first basement floor, and you will have to go down the stairs.There is no open-air bath, just one bath, but it gets a little hot near the spout and gets lukewarm when you leave, so you can bathe at whatever temperature you like.The sauna can only be used from 16:00 to 22:00 and can barely accommodate two people, but it was nice to have a sense of privacy.The dryer was new, but the room was well-cleaned, so I didn't feel stressed.·cookingWhen I visited, I used a private room probably because there were few customers.The dishes were all delicious, using local fish and vegetables.Also, I think it depends on the plan, but it really came with a lot of crab. If you like crab, please·catThere were three semi-feral cats when I visited.Since they are tame, they won't run away even if you approach them and you can pet them. There was also a cat inside that seemed to have forgiven me, and snuggled close to me.I was worried about the hygiene of an inn with animals, but it was the most relaxing experience.

Tsuruoka is my favorite city and I often go sightseeing there, but I had never used Yunohama Onsen, so this was my first time staying there. …

Best cost performance!!!I was very satisfied with the hot springs, the whole crab, and the soothing customer service.The room is clean andAll the meals are delicious.The hot springs are not hot springs, which are common in small hotels, but are temperature-controlled and can be accessed anytime.When I checked out, I was also seen off by the cats, and I left the hotel with a somewhat relieved feeling.

The staff were smiling and polite and made me feel comfortable. I was very satisfied with the food, which is incredible for this price range. Although the building is in Furuichi, it was well kept and clean. The only regret was that there was no hot water from the tap in the room.

It was a room with no view. I think the dinner is delicious and plentiful. The hot springs are good because they flow straight from the source. It's so lukewarm that you might not feel like it's in there. The overall structure is narrow and feels oppressive, but it doesn't bother me. What I'm curious about is ○○○○○ in the room. Personally.

I stay at this inn every summer.The food is delicious, you can swim in the sea, you can see the fireworks from your room, and the young employees and the innkeeper's daughter are so hospitable that you'll want to come back again and again.

The red snow crab was delicious. It takes a while to eat, so I think it's better to watch it for about 90 minutes.

Both dinner and breakfast were delicious!Is it because of the timing? About 5 minutes from 20:30There were fireworks in the sea, so I felt like I had earned it 🎆The scenery was nice too♪

It was a fully serviced inn with semi-feral cats living there.I used it on a solo trip.Many of the cats looked wild because they were semi-feral, but they were diligently spayed and neutered, which gave me a good impression.Cats that are wary, cats that approach, cats that are there or not...it's amazing.The food is amazing, Yamagata University...produced in Shonai...produced in Tsuruoka...homemade...new varieties of rice...so elaborate.It was also nice to be able to go to the sea in about 5 minutes, and just as we reached the sea, there was a beach volleyball watchtower on the Yunohama coast, so we could climb up there and watch the sunrise vaguely.The inn itself was located halfway up a hill, and our room faced the sea, but the view was nice.The bath also claims to be made from Finnish wood, which explains why there are so many Moomin goods.There are no more than 10 rooms, and each room accommodates about 5 people, with the largest room holding 7 people, so it's quite small.However, the one thing that is disappointing and I would like future users to consider is the dinner time.You can choose between 18:30 and 19:00, but it is a course meal and will take about an hour.I ate there from 7pm, but an elderly couple who finished their meal first started at 6:30pm, and while they could see the sunrise on the Pacific side, they couldn't see the sunset. I started eating at 7pm, but I missed the sunset and it was pitch dark.I think I did something a little regrettable.

This is a very good inn.Although the price was reasonable, the meal was plentiful, including a bowl of crab, and even after I finished all the white rice in the bowl, I still had some side dishes left over.For breakfast, I was satisfied with the number of items I had, as I finished all the white rice in the bowl.The hot springs are only small indoor baths, but they are soft to the touch and can be enjoyed even late at night.Also, the rescue cat was mischievous and cute, which was a plus lolThe view from the room is a little inland, so the view is taken away by the buildings along the coast, but if you're not too particular about it, it's not a problem. If you want to see the scenery, I think you can take a walk.The entrance to the parking lot is narrow and a little difficult to find, so be careful when entering. The host will guide you when you leave, so there is no need to worry about getting back.Recommended as a base for visiting Kamo Aquarium and other places.I would like to stay again.

I stayed there on a weekday for business purposes at a reasonable price, and the hot water and food were very good. Both were surprisingly good considering the price. The sashimi is especially good. Breakfast is also very good.
