It had good reviews and was the only pet-friendly accommodation in Hirugami Onsen, so I made a reservation.It is true that they are very tolerant of pets, allowing large dogs to be kept indoors on the tatami floor without putting them in a cage.Most of the hot springs were reserved for private use and were very nice.The food was delicious and the staff were kind and helpful.However, there are no lead hooks at the entrance or in the room.I arrived exactly at check-in time.The landlady in plain clothes told me it was a little early, but it's okay. and.No, it's check-in time.The breaker in my room tripped twice in midsummer.When I returned to my room, I found my dog ​​in the room where the air conditioner was out.If you hear that the amperage is low because it is an aftermarket air conditioner...Please unplug unnecessary electrical outlets.Furthermore, three Gs appeared in the room.Since it is in Nagano Prefecture, it was small, butThis made me want to go back.The room was well-cleaned, butThere are no staff to carry your luggage,Even though it's not a cottage in the woods, there are bugs.The breaker will trip in midsummer. (By the way, the chair in the room was also broken and when the child tried to sit on it, the bottom fell out...)I guess you're doing your best.As expected, it was a trip that I would not be able to complete without writing a review.To the endI was charged about 3,000 yen more due to an accounting mistake.It's already a punishment.If I point it outAh, that's right. Yes, that's right.If you didn't point it out, I can only assume that you intended to take that amount.I won't go again.It was my first time visiting a hotel like this.

A big white cat will welcome you.There is a fairly spacious parking lot outside the premises.Check-in is quick. Unlike other inns, you don't have to listen to long explanations of information that you can't remember.However, although this is a pet-friendly inn, the path from the gate to the entrance is paved with stones, so you will need to lift your pet cart to move it.The inside of the building is much larger than you might imagine from the outside, and the public bath is located on the basement floor and has a three-dimensional structure.Dinner was served in the room and breakfast was in the large hall on the second floor, but it seems like you can bring your dog into the large hall so you can have breakfast with your family.The large hall was fine, but the room smelled like dog urine. I then put on the provided Febreze for a while.The floor and bathtub of the indoor bath were rattling, and I was told that it might be best not to use it because it's old, so when I tried filling it with hot water, it was leaking so badly that there was barely 10 centimeters of water left (lol).However, the landlady is quite fond of cats, so we had a great time talking about cats.Recommended if you are using the public bath and don't mind the smell.At first I was concerned about the smell, but as I talked with the landlady, I wondered if there would be another one. That's what I'm starting to think.However, there is a grand hotel called "Tenshin" nearby, and although the price may go up a little, it's not extremely expensive, so I'll probably stay there next time I come. I thought so.In that case, of course, the cat would be at home.

I'm happy because it's relatively close to Nagoya city.I stayed for several nights, and I brought my dog ​​with me, but it was nice to have an open space nearby where I could walk.Of course, it's a culinary inn, so the food was good both in the morning and in the evening.

This inn in Hirugami Onsen is very good for people with dogs (cats).It's very reasonable considering the food, so I recommend everyone to go once.I stayed for several nights, and I was glad that the food had changed a little.

It's a relaxing inn and close to the morning market, so you can shop while walking your dog. The river is beautiful and the food is delicious.
