I returned to Japan for the first time in 10 years in December 2023 and stayed at this hotel with my friend. Warm hospitality, wonderfully delicious food, beautiful hot spring water, and a nice and clean room. It was a wonderful trip, getting up early in the morning and walking to a nearby cape to watch the sunrise.

Huh, is this Japan? When I passed through the entrance, my brain had an illusion.We were greeted by the extremely friendly love Kei-chan (huge! Cute!) and the master, and we, exhausted from city fatigue and traffic jams, immediately relaxed.I can't believe they even thought of building a building like this! I just take my hat off to her for her outstanding taste and fashionable sensibilities that are not bound by boundaries.Amazing! As I was making noise in the wide hallway, I was again surprised to find that the entrance (?) of the room was wide enough to accommodate a bed. Even at the restaurant, I kept saying things like ``Wow'' and ``Dohya'' (lol).The meal was lovingly cooked by the wife, and the master talked to us about various things while tasting the food.They were an unpretentious and friendly couple, and they were the perfect couple. *I didn't know this when I came to visit, but I heard that both of them were stationed in Tanzania at a trading company that represents Japan. When you say that, I see! Everything was unraveled. The bath was also wonderful!Currently, I have 5 days off a week, and with the motto of ``Let's enjoy life more'', I am a senior in life who plans concerts and other events with many of my friends (can I say that again? It's wonderful!!!)Guests and hosts can have a good time together, laugh about how much fun everyone had, and feel energized. I think there aren't many accommodations like this, and I hope it continues for a long time.My only regret is that I couldn't clean Kei-chan's ears. In our house, when my husband says he's leaving, we're leaving (if he holds out his hand, it's massage time) lol. Until next time, Kei-chan and all of you, stay well♪*Open only on weekends*It seems that even if Rakuten is full, if you call, they will find a vacancy.

Since it is run by the owner who was active in Tanzania, there were items that looked like Tanzanian souvenirs (?) all over the place, giving it an African atmosphere. The hot spring bath is nice, but the main attraction is the food. We spent about 2 hours enjoying an original meal while enjoying musical instruments played by locals (on the day, the atmosphere was reminiscent of Andean folk music). The next morning, we spent another two hours admiring the birds and squirrels that gathered on the balcony, so we enjoyed a relaxing time, which was different from our usual overnight stay.

The hospitality will soothe you. The food with an African feel is also delicious. The open-air bath had a nice open feel.

I visit in early summer every year.We were able to have a relaxing time as we were limited to 2 groups due to coronavirus precautions.I feel like I was energized by the fresh greenery and blue sky I could see from the private bath.For dinner, I had a really relaxing chat with the owner and his wife.I was impressed that he remembered my request for cold scramble last time. I love clear tomato ketchup.I will try to copy the ginger pork rolls.No matter what you eat, the delicious food is five stars. ☆☆☆☆☆I was able to cross Amagi.Joren Falls was soothing with plenty of negative ions. It was a good trip.I'll visit you again soon.
