Since the name said it was a hot spring inn, I thought the hot springs were their main selling point, but I was curious about the price and how it was priced like a business hotel, so I went on a tour to Nagano and decided to check it out.It's actually a guesthouse, not an inn.The package of seaweed they serve in the morning has the words ryokan and business hotel written on it, so I don't think they are trying to be an inn that sells authentic hot springs, but rather more of a business hotel.When I think about it, I would like to say that people who imagined a ryokan and had a disappointing experience are posting harsh comments, but they should look at the prices.Isn't it normal for old business hotels to have a lot of things not taken care of?However, the grandmother who runs the place is a very caring and nice person when you talk to her, and the young man also does his best to help you, so everything is much better than the typical old business hotels.For breakfast, the tamagoyaki was elaborate and delicious, and the soup was bland but had a lot of ingredients and tasted good. I thought I might be able to eat this for dinner too.However, even though it is called a hot spring inn, there is a germanium hot bath which is important, and although there is a huge amount of information written in the bathroom about the efficacy of germanium, I had no idea what germanium was in this inn. Is that the black stone that forms the bathtub?

I visited Zenkoji Temple the next day because it was in a good location and included breakfast, so I decided to come here...Is this the woman? The landlady? The response was extremely poor. It was bad that I had misunderstood the bath time, but I left the outside door open as if to tell him to leave early! There is a 24-hour bath in the back, and it's terrible because you don't know who will be passing by. I want to leave early without eating breakfast. The pot in the room was still slightly filled with water that I didn't know when it was used. As a colleague, there is no worse place than this!
