I've been here more than 7 times as far as I can remember, and it's a stable accommodation. You can spend a relaxing and luxurious time and reset your mind.

It is a secret place where you can restore your health without electromagnetic waves.There is no 4G or 5G radio waves, and there is no microwave oven, so this is a very good inn for restoring your health.If you have an emergency call, it's a 10-second walk to the front desk, so I think it's a good idea to go there ❗ Or, if you use messenger on your mobile phone, you can connect with the other party ❗Or, I think it would be better to use line-off❗There is a charge for line-off, but it cannot be changed in an emergency.The yellow stuff you see in modern egg dishes is often not eggs at hotels, but here it's tamagoyaki❗Also, there is no sauce when eating beef❗That should be it❗The tail part of beef is a very valuable part, and I think it is most commonly known as tail soup❗Or is it a special beef stew?However, at this inn, it is the part around the tail❗That's why the meat is so soft.Therefore, I think that at this inn, we eat a very simple dish that is a blend of pink rock salt and wasabi.When it comes to grilled meat, most people probably eat it with some kind of sauce (though it's just my preference).Most hotels use grilled meat with sauces, but here they don't.This means that it is Wagyu beef that has been raised on pasture and raised with care❗The tail is a part of the cow that is active, so the surrounding parts will become moist and fatty.The rice is made by procuring Koshihikari rice from the rice fields on the way to this inn.The pickles were pickled in rice bran❗The miso soup was clam soup❗Is the tofu homemade too?It wasn't watery at all, so it was really tofu❗The bath is open-air only, and the washing area is about 1.5 times the size of a business hotel.I thought the toothbrush was not a hard toothbrush, but a regular one.In the refrigerator, there were three types of drinks containing alcohol for the number of people.I think the size of the TV is 65 inches.An artificial lake in front of the hotel? Artificial pond? The mountain on the other side was protected by God❗I talked to the spirits, and they said that the rules are quite strict in this area❗Foxes also live in this mountain, and it was impressive to see the mother fox shouting to the little foxes to come home early in the evening before sunset.The repeat visitor rate for this inn is said to be around 60%.I understand that this is a highly satisfying accommodation.Since we were newcomers, we wanted to be included as repeat customers.Autumn leaves are coming soon❗There are a lot of maples in the garden❗There were also camellias❗I feel like this is an inn that you can enjoy regardless of the season.However, since there are 3 rooms, I think each room has a different view.The artificial pond can be seen from the rooms closest to the front desk and from the second room, and waterfowl can be seen playing, but from the room at the farthest end, the artificial pond cannot be seen and it is possible to enjoy the Satoyama itself as far as the distance. I think it can be done.Since there are 3 rooms, it seems that customer management is being done, so I think you will be assigned a different room than the last room.Wouldn't it be nice to travel and enjoy different scenery while staying in the same hotel?In our case, we would like to recreate the same scenery again🎵The refrigerator in the room has alcohol, bottled tea, and carbonated drinks for each person.They said we could drink whatever we wanted, but since we don't drink alcohol, we left some Asahi Beer Dry with us.By the way, at the Disney hotels at Tokyo Disney Resort, you can take the amenities home with you.Even if they do leave it behind, it seems that all the provided amenities are disposed of as a safety priority.You may think it's a waste, but I think it's far from a policy that prioritizes the lives of customers.Maybe the beer we left behind at this inn is being disposed of.★Finally❗The utensils (ceramic) served with the meal may have been handmade by the host.This is because the owner studied under Tatsuzo Shimaoka, a Living National Treasure, and has a history of holding solo exhibitions of ceramics in various places.

A detached inn limited to 3 groups per day!This is a homely inn run by just a couple, and we have come back many times.The husband is in charge of all the service and the wife is in charge of all the cooking.All of the dishes served over charcoal using carefully selected ingredients from Chiba Prefecture are delicious and somehow make you feel warm.Recommended for those who want to just relax and do nothing.The problem is that the road leading to the inn is narrow and difficult to understand, but please arrive with the intention of exploring.

It's a detached apartment with an open-air bath, giving you a sense of privacy, and you can detox online with weak radio waves.On the other hand, when I have a hearth meal, my husband comes into the private room every 3 minutes to adjust the grilling, which interrupts the conversation between the two of us.Well, I enjoy talking with my husband and mom there, but for those who find that kind of thing bothersome. This may not be the right accommodation for you. My husband also had to have the same conversations with customers every day, and I was worried that it was difficult.We were very happy and relaxed.It's a little expensive though.
