In one word, amazing✨The most fun part this time was the sauna.I heat up the sauna by burning the firewood myself, and everything about it is perfect, including the location and the location where I can enjoy the water bath.The location of the inn itself is a really normal residential area, but once you go through one gate, it's a different world.The indoor bath was large and easy to use, and there was also a laundry drying space, so I felt like I was in a second house and I was able to relax.The tatami room on the second floor is truly a relaxing room.It was perfect for stretching and I even fell asleep while stretching.We also thoroughly enjoyed our meals, which were made with local ingredients.I would definitely use it again!

I used it with my family. The exterior and interior are wonderful and the kids are very happy with the spaciousness!There are many bedrooms, and there are not only Western-style rooms but also Japanese-style rooms, so even if you have small children, you can spend your time with peace of mind!I thought it would be great to invite friends and family over for a sleepover next time and have a lot of fun.The sauna, the bonfire, and the surrounding nature have a great atmosphere!The breakfast and dinner meals are delicious and very satisfying.I would definitely like to go again.

I used it as a couple.This time, I was looking for an inn that was surrounded by nature without the crowds of people and had a sauna, so this hotel met my requirements.The facility is not only clean, but also fully stocked with equipment, so I think you can come empty-handed and enjoy the experience.This time I made a reservation with a meal plan, but the owner? They responded kindly, the food was served quickly, and they explained the facility thoroughly.The best part was the sauna + open-air cold bath + bonfire, which was my first experience and it was the most luxurious experience ever.I would like to use it again as a little-known spot, but it is a hotel that I want more people to know about.

I used it during the Obon holiday. I found this place because I wanted a place that was quiet and had a sauna, and it was even nicer than I expected.It was great to be able to enjoy the sauna in the middle of nature!There are very few saunas that can be used by both men and women, so it is also recommended for couples and families.The food was luxurious and very delicious.The staff were very kind and I was able to spend my time comfortably.thank you very much!This is an inn that I would like to use again.

I stayed there the other day.Although the road to the hotel is a little difficult to understand,I think it will be easier to find if you target the RC gate.When you enter the premises, it is spacious,It's also easy to park your car.The building is a nice Western-style building.When you open the front door, a wide atrium opens out.The first floor has a kitchen, dining room, theater space, and a calm living room.On the second floor, there are 3 bathrooms and bedrooms, plus a Japanese-style room.It looks like it can comfortably accommodate a large number of people.When you exit the living room, there is a barbecue space.You can see the babbling stream from there.The greenery is rich and cleanses the soul.Following the barbecue space, there is a sauna and bonfire space.A cold bath is also available.The wood-burning stove sauna can also be heated,It's great to say the least.Sauna → cold bath → bonfireThis rotation will keep your body in shape.Last but not least is the meal.All BBQ dinner will be prepared for you,Just really bake it.The main dish is Joshu beef, which is voluminous.The quality is also at the highest level.Breakfast with steamed food,It was healthy and delicious.We had a great time.Definitely a repeat!

I was surprised at how well-balanced everything was: the atmosphere of the building, the river right in the garden, the ease of use of the sauna and cold bath, and the deliciousness of the food. Recently, new outdoor facilities have been opening one after another in various places, but I was often disappointed by the commercialism. In that respect, you can feel the care taken to please the guests at this facility. I'm starting to worry that it's too expensive and time-consuming compared to the cost of accommodation. This is a facility that we highly recommend, so please give it a try!

The quality was higher than expected. Since it's not a hotel, I wasn't expecting much food, but both the BBQ dinner and breakfast were satisfying.Also, it's great to sit in the sauna and talk around the bonfire ♪ There's also a small river flowing and the atmosphere is great ⚪︎

I used Niruufu-san's inn before and it was a wonderful experience, so I decided to use it again this time!【service】A very kind staff member will welcome you and see you off.She also came to prepare dinner, so I was able to spend my time without any inconvenience.Thank you for your warm hospitality![Location]It will take about 2 hours and 30 minutes (including a break) to arrive by car from Tokyo.The site is large and a stream runs behind the building.Thanks to this, you can enjoy a private space.You can enjoy a barbecue dinner while listening to the sound of the stream, which is a very luxurious experience.The sound of the murmuring stream and the chirping of birds will soothe you during your bath and preparation time after the sauna.However, it is not in the middle of a huge mountain, so you can spend a relaxing and quiet time in the perfect nature![What was fun]・I was able to spend a relaxing time in the wood-fired sauna and cold water bath on the wood deck!The cold bath also has hot water, so I enjoyed the open-air bath at night.The morning sauna is especially great!We also have fire starters and firewood available, and when we arrived and told the staff that we wanted to take a sauna, they immediately prepared the sauna for us.However, it was my first time using a wood sauna, so I couldn't raise the temperature very much when I used it in the morning...However, I was able to spend some time at a low temperature, so I think it was a good thing.My elderly mother was also with me, and she was able to enter the sauna with peace of mind!・After dinner, you can enjoy a bonfire on the wooden deck.We toasted the marshmallows you prepared and had coffee ❤️It's great to be able to watch the bonfire while the sauna is being prepared.・The staff told me that the night view of the city is beautiful.I was surprised when I left the gate of the premises at night!I was able to immediately enjoy the night view spreading out below me.The moon was also out, so it was very beautiful.・In the morning, I took a short walk along the stream on the premises.・The interior design inside the building is really good!It was also really fun to look at the pictures and ornaments on display.I especially liked the stylish design of the indoor bath.【cleaning】It's very clean, well-maintained, and comfortable.It is also perfect for insect protection.Since it's in the mountains, there are some insects, but it didn't bother me at all.(Insect spray and insecticides are also available)[Amenities/Facilities]・Amenities are also abundant, including cleansing, face washing, lotion, and milky lotion.There are towels, toothbrushes, brushes, and razors.・We have coffee beans and a coffee grinder!We also have Rufu-san brand drip coffee and green tea.Free 500ml bottles of water for each person.・There is a washing machine, dryer, and indoor drying area, so I think it is suitable for long-term stays. (Detergent and fabric softener were also available)・It would be helpful if there were more towels for the sauna, and wet tissues and towels and paper for drying hands in the kitchen!・There is no TV, but I had no problems at all.You can watch YouTube etc. on the projector.
