The building is old.The public bath is small and the water pressure in the shower is the worst. Therefore, you should definitely rent a private bath. There is a 30 minute time limit here, but it is spacious enough and there is no problem with showering.Dinner was shabu-shabu and buffet. There aren't many types of food, but I think they all taste good.The breakfast has a small variety, but is quite satisfying.The room has triple beds and is spacious, but I feel stressed by the smallness of the toilet.It's a toilet in the unit bath, but wouldn't it be okay to just use the toilet without a bathtub? I think so.

I used it on Tuesday, September 24th.I used it about a year ago, and at that time the shower in the private bath was slow, which was a problem, but this time it has been improved.It was nice to see that the room had been renovated as well.My husband and I played table tennis before taking a bath, went to karaoke after dinner, and had a really fun time.I thoroughly enjoyed the half buffet and all you can drink.If I had to complain about one thing, it would be that the crab was a little thinner compared to last time. That's all I could say.I would like to go again.

Most of our employees are foreigners. That's not a bad thing. Some people can have a good conversation, while others are dubious.The building is old and not in good condition, but it feels clean.Dinner was a half-buffet, and everyone was having sukiyaki at that time, so it was very hot in the venue.Honestly, alcohol is all you can drink, so the quantity and quality of the items are pretty good. It's better not to have expectations.Breakfast is also pretty good.If you ask me if I'll go next time, I'll probably go if it's cheaper.By the way, this was my first experience, but there was used women's underwear in the room. As a man, I felt uncomfortable.

I used it yesterday on a bus tour in Mito. All the staff were foreigners. I felt very well-educated and felt very comfortable, and it was very helpful to me to understand the crab for dinner. The free karaoke was also very fun. I would like to use it again.
